Probably "Crazy Little THing Called Love."

"I shall be released" the Bob Dylan song...a complete studio version. "Seven Spanish Angels" the(??) Willie Nelson song. "Long as I can see the light" by Creedence Clearwater Revival. "Running Scared" by Roy Orbison.
letīs put the voice of ELVIS in the song(Only The Lonely)of Roy Orbinson,is prefect with is sensual voice
Probably "Love of my life" (Queen) and definately WITH OR WITHOUT YOU - (U2). Just imagine the power of Elvis' voice singing this song...
Goodbye Rosanne...Your "family" in TCB will always remember you.
Hi,thank you all for your replies!!!
I'd like to suggest one more song;''I'm not rensponsible'' by Tom Jones!
Thanks again!
"Crazy little thing called love", "Smoky Mountain Memories" (my fav by Dolly) Jodi Girl (Bob Segar)
I always felt the CCR song Green River would've been good for him to sing, along with Brooke Benton's classic Rainy Night In Georgia.
Other songs that come to mind are Charlie Rich's The Most Beautiful Girl In The World, Chuck Berry's Back In The USA, the Johnny Cash hit Sunday Morning Coming Down, and the gospel classic by Hank Williams I Saw The Light.
NOTE: Elvis did sing a short 1 liner of Most Beautiful Girl in Las Vegas, Feb 1974, and according to Joe Tunzi (Elvis Sessions III) Elvis was supposed to have recorded Rainy Night In Georgia in the studio in January 1977, but the session was canceled.

There's lots of songs that I would have loved to hear Elvis sing, here are a few:
Sweeter Than You (Ricky Nelson)
I Will Always Love You (Dolly)
Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad (Meat Loaf)
I Would Do anything For Love (Meat Loaf)
Thats all i can think of at the moment...might be back later with more
It's Now Or Never
Thank you all for your smart replies!
I would like to thank my sister also for helping me thinking of the question of this thread!
Love you,sister!!!
There are quite a few Kris Kristofferson songs that I think would really have suited Elvis...especially "Me and Bobby Magee" and "Loving her was easier(than anything I`ll ever do again)......
I Shall Be Released!Originally Posted by SleepyJack
That would have been pure magic! Dylan's amazing lyrics and Elvis' angelic voice....
Every time I watch and hear the version from "The Last Waltz" Elvis starts singing it in my head!...
I personaly would have love to hear Elvis Sing Remember When By Alan Jackson
If Tears Could Build A Stairway, And Memories A Lane, I'd Walk Right Up To Heaven And Bring You Home Again -
Running Scared, everytime I hear that little snippet, I wish he'd done the whole song, or that the entire song had been kept.
Also, would have loved to hear Elvis sing
Keep Your Hat On
Oreo Cookie Blues [I've been listening to a lot of Stevie Ray]
You Give Love a Bad Name
and the Monday Night Football song that Hank Jr sang
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
I think Elvis has already sung this!I Shall Be Released!
Yes, he didn't sing the whole song. It was only a rehearsal and he sang only a few verses of the song. I'd love to hear a complete studio version of the songI think Elvis has already sung this!
Heard a song on the radio this morning that I hadn`t heard in centuries..."Let the heartaches begin" by Long John Baldry...would have suited Elvis perfectly I reckon.....next time you`re on youtube have a peek!!!......I think that`s how his name is spelt!!!
BELIEVE by brooks and dunn I know it's new but EP would sound awsome sining this song. I think he would of redone it if still alive.
A PRESLEY GIRL ALWAYS LOVES HIM TENDER AND TREATS HIM NICE!!
I always wondered why Elvis didn't do this song. It's got the right sound, beat, and rhythm. It is just perfect for him.
