    Smile Best Elvis ballads?

    Which ballads do you like the most? I was listening "There's Always Me" and thought in many other lovely ballads that are kinda' forgoten. Can you mention others?

    I may give a lesson in college about Elvis (love to do that ). Gonna talk about Elvis' other side, the one away from rock'n'roll. And I will mention some ballads there. Is good to show the interesting Elvis beside his "king of R&R" image, don't you think?
    Let the stars fade and fall, and I won't care at all, as long as I have you.

    I hope I'm not limited to the number of songs on my list, because there are more than just a few (I'm sure that I'll think of twice this many by tomorrow !!):

    Sound of Your Cry
    Love Letters (1970 version)
    Love Me
    You've Lost That Lovin Feeling
    Bridge Over Troubled Water
    Do You Know Who I Am?
    Without Love
    After Loving You
    Kentucky Rain
    True Love Travels Down A Gravel Road
    This is the Story
    Rags to Riches
    If I Can Dream
    Just Pretend
    How the Web Was Woven
    Trying to Get to You
    I Can't Stop Loving You
    Make the World Go Away
    Are You Lonesome Tonight
    You Don't Know Me
    It's Over
    For the Good Times

    THANK YOU all. I already got a date for my lesson (and will use some ballads there). That will be next friday morning... if all goes according the plan.
    Thank you Tommy!
