Default Electro-Voice EV 635a used for the lead vocal on what HIT recordings?

Just curious...

What are some specific examples of the EV 635a being used on well
known songs?

My understanding is that some of Elvis' hits at RCA were cut with the
635a
in his early days there.

Seems like Shure Unidyne III (SM57/545 series) studio "stories" are
more ubiquitous BTW.

Thanks
Chris

Elvis may have recorded on a 630 or a 635 in the very early days.
The 635a came along a little later, IIRC in the early 70's.
It was used on a lot of tv shows which you can see on many old tapes
of music programs.
It's still the field radio reporter's mic of choice as you can see on
most news and sports broadcasts and is very useful in some studio
situations as well.

I bought a used one on the advise that they were good on Marshall cabs pumping
out loud rock gtr. It works sometimes.
