My son, 39 years old, sent me this email
" I ran into this song “Promised Land” by Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, and the Grateful Dead.
Who came out w it first Berry or Presley?"
Of course I replied after checking Joel Whitburn's Top Pop Singles
Chuck Berry made the charts with it on 12/12/1964
Chuck Berry's single reached #11 on 12/12/1964
Elvis Presley's single reached #14 on 10/11/1974
Elvis recorded it in an album in 1975
