Mine's " O Holy Night"..
I think he would have really given this song a great treatment..
There are many songs I would have loved to hear Elvis sing but high on the list would have to be the Roy Orbison numbers 'Cryin' and 'Running Scared' and a song performed by Frankie Laine entitled 'My Friend' which would have been a great song for Elvis to record.
'What, honey ? ..... one scarf for the balcony ?! ........... OK ........... gimme a baseball ! ............ there's no way unless you put a rock in it'.
(Las Vegas - 7th December 1975)
i would have loved to hear elvis sing, charlie rich's the most beautiful girl in the world. as well as spinout stated running scared, crying or any orbison song for that matter. i also always imagined elvis singing tony orlando's knock three times or candida. have a great week... simmerrocks
This is the song that Bruce Springsteen wanted to give to Elvis to record.
Since i am a big fan of Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash, i wish Elvis did more songs by Johnny cash, songs like.

Some inspired choices here. I really have none to add at this moment, but I just had to comment especially on the mention of O Holy Night.
I love Elvis' Christmas catalogue, but one song that I hold in as high esteem as any of his is, I daresay, is Nat King Cole's version of that song. And I too have often wished Elvis had given it a try. So I was quite surprised to see someone else mention it.
...you won't forget me when I go.
"Respect"-originally done by Aretha
"How deep is your love"- Bee Gees
"I love you"- Olivia Newton John(he turned this down)
I'm the king of the jungle, they call me Tiger Man. If you cross my path, you take your own life in your hands.
"I will always love you" I think he would have done a wonderful version
You're My World, Only The Lonely, I Put A Spell on You
I never looked for trouble but I never ran.
Actually that was Fire that Bruce wrote from Elvis, but I agree Pink Cadillac (which was written after Elvis died) would have been ideal for him. Jerry Lee Lewis did a good version of it.Originally Posted by rafael

I had no idea about "Fire"!And I've always thought that Elvis would have done a great job singing that song!
Strange Magic
"He ain't heavy, he's my brother." He would have done a magnificent job on this Hollies classic!

Just pretend, I'm holding you, and whispering things soft and low.
And think of me, how it's gonna be and just pretend I didn't go
"A Rainy Night In Georgia" I understand ELvis almost got to record it.
Or any other Tony Joe White song for that matter!
You Remember That Donach Ya?

"Hello again" by Neil Diamond. What a beautiful song...
O Holy Night

For Me It would have to be
1.SPIRIT IN THE SKY
2.LOVE ON THE ROCKS
3.FUNNY, FAMILIAR FORGOTTEN FEELINGS
4.I'VE ALWAYS BEEN CRAZY
5.SUNDAY MORNING, COMING DOWN
That would be it for me...always think of elvis singing these great songs
Rainny Night in Georgia is right...I read a book Oct. 1977 they where coming to his house again to record and that was one of the songs on Feltons list.
1.) Rainny Night In Georgia
2.) Devil Went Down To Georgia
3.) I Will Always Love You (Maybe a Duet with Dolly instead.)
4.) Woman, Woman (by Gary Puckett)
Love to hear Elvis doing this one...
