Little Darlin'
Let Me Be There
He'll Have to Go
Way Down
Pledging My Love
She Thinks I Still Care
It's Easy For You

[piretos]

My favorite is "she thinks i still care"

[kathy parkinson]

Yea, me too, although i like all of them, great album.

[Suspicious Minds]

I voted for Pledging My Love.

Should have been an A side single or a double A side single with Way Down.

[shelley.m.]

I voted for Way Down.Great song!!!

[rickb]

tough call. Could have gone with Way Down or others but opted for Unchained Melody, a genuine Elvis classic that actually benefits from Felton's production add-ons.

[Teddy]

Unchained Melody is one of the most covered songs in the history of popular music and overexposure has probably reduced the song's ability to 'move' listeners these days. It is so familiar that it tends to go in one ear and out the other when another version comes along.

The fact that Elvis performed such a ubiquitous tune and managed to revitalize its emotional potency is an extraordinary testament to his rare gift as an interpretive singer. His version on this album makes you feel like you're hearing the song for the first time, and so for that reason it gets my vote.

[presley31]

I voted for its easy for you. Great song.

[midnight]

Its Easy for You! This song, to me, is written just for Elvis. I always picture him singing it for Sonny and Red about the book they wrote. I know it was probably never meant that way but when I hear it that is what I think about.
" You never tire of the good life, call me in a year or two. I`ve got no choice I`ll forgive you and it is easy for you.

[Tommy]

Unchained Melody...............love the entire album. (y) I have an original still sealed.

[goodelvisgirl]

the whole album is just fantastic its hard to pick just one pledging my love and its easy for you are the best two for me they are great songs sung with such feeling and emotion and good lyrics as well but she thinks i still care brings a tear to my eye

[Lonniebealestreet]

Has to be the title track for me, though I enjoy the album in its entirety.

I've got one of those too, Tommy.

[buttonhead]

Unchained Melody..(y)

Since i like Doo Woop... I also like his version of ' Little Darling '.

[geordie]

way down for me

[rocknroll]

Has to be the title track for me, though I enjoy the album in its entirety.

I've got one of those too, Tommy.

Agreed, one of his better songs from the '70's.

[Diane]

I have this album in the blue vinyl and I love it. I voted for Little Darlin' because it's different for Elvis and I love the way he does it.

[utmom2008]

I voted for "She Thinks I Still Care", but I LOVE the entire album. I nearly wore it out the summer of 1977.:D

[Debra]

I voted for She Thinks I Still Care

[Lisarose]

I couldn't pick just one, there were several -- Way Down, Moody Blue, It's Easy For You - I also love For the Heart - was that an add-on?

[SeeSeeRider777]

It's Easy for You. Love that song.

[john carpenter]

I picked Pledging My Love.

[elvislady]

for me it is "easy for you" also "pledging my love" great songs. i also like " let me be there" from the fantasy aloha concert. well i might has well say the whole album. lol
elvislady:D

[Trev1]

Way Down cause its a great rock song with a great bass in it....

Plus you have JD Sumner at the end , boy he has a deep voice :lmfao:

[Jungleroom76]

While WAY DOWN is certainly a great song (and probably one of my all-time favorite Elvis songs), I voted for IT'S EASY FOR YOU here simply because it is one of the most heartfelt ballads that Elvis ever recorded in my opinion. The pain and emotion that you can hear in his voice is just incredible... :hmm:

TCB!
Mike

[Unchained Melody]

Its Easy For You hands down. Love that whole album.

[Joy]

Voted for Unchained Melody,but the whole album is fantastic,it's really hard to choose a favourite.

[rocknroll]

I couldn't pick just one, there were several -- Way Down, Moody Blue, It's Easy For You - I also love For the Heart - was that an add-on?

Not on the original release.

[Lisarose]

I thought as much rocknroll, but I still like that song! Thanks for the info.

[tony70]

mine is It's Easy For You(y)

[LianaKaralivanou]

"Pledging my love" for sure! Great song.

[yvonne]

That's easy.... It's Easy For You.
He sings this song from the heart.. Just Love It!

[Unchained Melody]

The pain and emotion that you can hear in his voice is just incredible... :hmm:

TCB!
Mike

You've hit the nail on the head there buddy, which is why i am so fond of the album. Elvis related so much to the songs he was recording and I think that was one of the few ways for him to get his feelings out was through the music. The takes on the Jungle Room Sessions FTD are marvelous.

[Wendy56]

All songs there are great! But I went for Way Down. And Moody Blue is such a master piece too. :clap:

[Unchained Melody]

Just a quick question, why was Let Me Be There on the Moody Blue album was it just to fill up space due to lack of songs Elvis recorded ?:hmm:

[rickb]

Yes, Let Me Be There was a space filler and really the only let down on an otherwise top album of contemporary material

[LtCarman]

Can't say I have a favorite. I like them all, so I'll just pick one out of a hat...ok...it is...Way Down!

[Fair Dinkum]

I enjoy the whole album but "Way Down" is my pick.Has a great groove.

[Unchained Melody]

To bad Elvis never attempted Way Down live in 77 or 76:doh:

[Trelane P]

For me this album only contains one classic, Way Down. Everything else is mediocre and not worthy of his legacy. It's interesting how we all see things so differently.

[Jungleroom76]

Its Easy For You hands down. Love that whole album.

Clearly you also have EXQUISITE TASTE in Elvis music buddy!!! ;)

And I agree with you completely....the whole album is fantastic, and it was hard for me to pick just one... :hmm:

TCB!

Especially his last 2 albums, in my opinion...I truly think the studio recordings from the FROM ELVIS PRESLEY BOULEVARD and MOODY BLUE albums are probably the closest thing we will ever get to an audio autobiography of Elvis' life, especially during that time period. :hmm:

And yes, I think the undubbed recordings from THE JUNGLE ROOM SESSIONS offer fans an even closer look at the raw emotion that Elvis poured into each of those Jungle Room recordings!! Some of that emotion I think gets a little lost in the overdubs that were applied to the recordings for the albums, but just listen to those undubbed recordings from THE JUNGLE ROOM SESSIONS FTD...Elvis is clearly laying it all out there for everyone to hear!!

TCB!
Mike

[midnight]

Bradley, I have the" Jungle Room Sessions" FTD and I love it. The emotion and power in his voice is just blows me away! Especially when he sings "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain". I often close my eyes and just picture him singing those songs in the Jungle room. Imagine being there!!! WOW! Kim

[rhythmknights]

Way Down for me, i just have to get up and move to this song. Moody Blue was the first cd I bought and it will always be my favorite. i also love that bass voice - way on down!

[Sheila]

Hard to pick. I loved all the songs on the album. The latest records are "From Elvis Presley Boulevard" and "Moody Blue" are great albums I always love to listen.

[Trev1]

Way Down and Moody Blue are the 2 best songs on the album. Pledging My Love
is probably in 3rd place in my view.

However considering how good the Jungle Room sessions were as we all know from
listening the the FTD release , they really did a crap job of distributing that material.
For one material from these sessions didnt need the overdubs that they got. I mean
overdubs are fine if they add value to the songs, but in this case they actually take
away value from the songs :(

[Unchained Melody]

Clearly you also have EXQUISITE TASTE in Elvis music buddy!!! ;)

And I agree with you completely....the whole album is fantastic, and it was hard for me to pick just one... :hmm:

Thanks Mike that means so much to me pal.

Going to pull the CD's Moodyblue and From EP BLVD out tonight and play them !(y)(y)(y)(y)

Couldn't agree more Mike !

Music was how Elvis got his feelings out and what he was relating to at that time is well said in the songs he recorded. Stuff like Never Again, It's Easy For You, and the unforgettable "HURT!!!!". This songs were all almost like autobigraphical to his life. And it shows how strong and rich his voice was in the end, sounded simply out of this world IMO !!!!

[Elvisgirl]

Unchained Melody, If You Love Me (Let Me Know), Little Darlin, Let Me Be There and Moody Blue are my favorites

[Unchained Melody]

Bradley, I have the" Jungle Room Sessions" FTD and I love it. The emotion and power in his voice is just blows me away! Especially when he sings "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain". I often close my eyes and just picture him singing those songs in the Jungle room. Imagine being there!!! WOW! Kim

I agree with you Kim, JRS FTD is one of my all time favorites, especially the It's Easy for You outtakes...:notworthy

[Unchained Melody]

Unchained Melody, If You Love Me (Let Me Know), Little Darlin, Let Me Be There and Moody Blue are my favorites

I've always felt the version of Melody from 6-21-77 was far superior to that of what version from Moodyblue which is Ann Arbor.

[celine]

Really hard to pick just one song ... but I guess it's "She Thinks I Still Care" for me! And "It's Easy For You" .... sorry but I cannot decide ...

[Davey]

I voted for Moody Blue, but I love the version of Unchained Melody here. As someone said before, the overdubs actually improve it. I also really love He'll Have To Go. The acoustic guitars on that one sound so crisp. I've always enjoyed that song ever since I heard Jerry Lee Lewis sing it, and Elvis does just as good a version.

[KPM]

Clearly you also have EXQUISITE TASTE in Elvis music buddy!!! ;)

And I agree with you completely....the whole album is fantastic, and it was hard for me to pick just one... :hmm:

Mike
That is a fantastic song!(y)
It was written by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice the great contemporary Broadway musical team.

[TCBGIRL]

Where Is My Answer To This?erased Like All The Others?whyyyyyyyyyyyyy???:angry:(n)

[ForeverTheKing]

"Moody Blue" for me (y)

[Trelane P]

There is only one song on this album that holds it's own against the best of his work and that is Way Down.

[rams]

:hmm:No contest, "Pledging my Love" is heads above the rest. Of course my opinion:hmm: only but his voice throughout the various alternate versions are just intense.(y)

rams

[MojoElvis]

I really young when I bought the LP and my favorite song on it was, "Way Down".
I remember owning the 45 too. I have the blue one standard black one. I read somewhere that the black one is wroth more money. I started collecting Elvis LPs when I was 9 years old.
Now I have about 95 LPs and don't know what to do with them.

[beckelvis]

Unchained melody it´s a great song

[RS277]

I voted for He'll Have To Go. But to be honest, I like the entire album. Been listening to it for 31 years and counting.. One of my top three favorites.

[mysterytrain3577]

The original album is okay....but I really prefer the outtakes....listen to FTD "Jungle Room Session"....this is an awesome cd. I love the longer versions...the jokes inbetween the songs.
Elvis is in a very good mood during this session....I don't understand why people keep repeating he was in such a depressing mood. To me he seems to have lots of fun.

[Unchained Melody]

Voted for Unchained Melody,but the whole album is fantastic,it's really hard to choose a favourite.

The version from April 24th Ann Arbor, MI is the version on the album.

While Its a good version, nothing tops that of the version from EIC Rapid City June 21st 1977.

[mysterytrain3577]

I agree....but what about Fort Baxter's "Moody Blue and other great performaces"?
"Where No One Stands Alone" is my favourite....never rehearsed before but so cool.
"Reconsider Baby".....just great......and one of Elvis most powerful songs "You gave Me A Mountain"....this one will knock you over.......

[smithversusneo]

I had to go with 'Let Me Be There'. For a few week's after I heard that song on 'Elvis Recorded Live In On Stage In Memphis', from then on(y) I just have to hit the repeat button over and again whenever I hear that song.

[Unchained Melody]

All of those are excellent recordings !:notworthy

[Dino78]

That's unfair 'cause I love the entire album.
But "It's Easy For You" is the one I like best.

[renapap05]

It was a tough choice!:D But i finally voted for "If you Love Me(Let me Know)"Great song.(y)(y)(y)

[easyrider]

I love She Thinks I Still Care,It's Easy for You,Way Down,Unchained Melody...
