(Marie's the name of) His Latest Flame) was written by Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman and originally recorded by Del Shannon on the album "Runaway With Del Shannon" which was recorded June 21st and released in June 1961. More details here - http://davidneale.eu/elvis/originals/list1.html
Elvis recorded it soon after on June 25th / 26th 1961 and it was released in August 1961 as a single. Del Shannon's version was a possible follow up single to Runaway but they released his own composition Hats Off to Larry instead. The song featured a Bo Diddley beat. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/(Marie's_the_Name)_His_Latest_Flame
