Milky White Way
"Milky White Way"
Song by Elvis Presley

"Milky White Way" is a song arranged and recorded by Elvis Presley. It was a black gospel standard written by Landers Coleman, who was a quartet singer. The song became a million-selling hit record in 1947 when the Trumpeters, a black quartet from Baltimore, recorded it. In the late 1940s this group the Trumpeters had a popular morning radio show over the CBS network called 7:15 A.M.! and "Milky White Way" was their theme song. Elvis Presley copied the Trumpeters' arrangement practically note for note when he recorded his version of the song on October 30-31, 1960 at RCA's Studio B, Nashville TN.[1]
