    Doing The Best, The Best I Can. Awesome song, really enjoy it. So was my pick out of the bunch

    You Don't Know Me

    I dream a world where man no other man
    will scorn. Where LOVE will bless the earth
    and peace its paths adorn...

    YOU DON'T KNOW ME --

    I know that by the time Elvis recorded this song, he was pretty feed up with the movie songs, and didn't even show up with the musicans, but overdubbed his vocals later, but MY GOSH!! He did an awesome job on this song. His voice is so rich and smooth!!! Listening to this gives me chills!!!

    "You don't know me" of course! One of my favorites songs and it was in one of my favorites movies, as well; "Clambake".
    Goodbye Rosanne...Your "family" in TCB will always remember you.

    You dont know me. Cant beat it.
    "When I was a child, ladies and gentlemen, I was a dreamer. I read comic books, and I was a hero in the movie. So every dream that I ever dreamed has come true a hundred times. I learned very early in life that without a song, the day would never end; without a song, a man ain't got a friend; without a song, the road would never bend; without a song. So I keep singing a song." - Elvis Presley

    I Need Somebody to Lean On - his voice is as smooth as silk and oh so seductive! This one is much too short!
    I also love the piano in the background. Elvis could sing a ballad!

    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
