Which song that Elvis DIDN'T perform or sang would you like to hear him sing it?

My personal choice is ''Country Roads take me Home'',originally sang by John Denver...Elvis would have preformed it soo much better..!
Please,tell me your opinion!

Maybe "Crazy" written by Willie Nelson, but well-known by Patsy Cline. The chordal structure is rather complex (as to offer a challenge) and his voice with its full and rich tonality would have added something..

" Only The Lonely" - Roy Orbison!!!
You probably know , words from this song - sometihig
for our still lonely WONDERUL M.

I looooove that song!! Yes, it would have been great if he had sang it...

[KPM]

"Slow Hand"
"Heartache Tonight"
(I Love you)"What Can I Say" (A Jerry Reed song)
"I Who Have Nothing"
"Travelin Band"

[ehollier]

I think that the song "You Can Leave Your Hat On", which was done by Tom Jones is AWESOME and Elvis would have done an equally good job on this. I also think that Otis Redding's song, "These Arms Are Mine" would have been a great choice for him. Both can be found on YT if anyone is interested.

Here you can see the lyrics dear, you're right, it's beautiful:

Only the lonely
(r.orbison/melson)

Dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah
Ooh-yay-yay-yay-yeah
Oh-oh-oh-oh-wah
Only the lonely

Only the lonely (dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah)
Know the way I feel tonight (ooh-yay-yay-yay-yeah)
Only the lonely (dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah)
Know this feelin ain't right (dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah)

There goes my baby
There goes my heart
They're gone forever
So far apart

But only the lonely
Know why
I cry I cry...
Only the lonely

Dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah
Ooh-yay-yay-yay-yeah
Oh-oh-oh-oh-wah
Only the lonely

Only the lonely
Know the heartaches I've been through
Only the lonely
Know I cried and cried for you

Maybe tomorrow
A new romance
No more sorrow
But that's the chance - you gotta take
If your lonely heart breaks
Only the lonely

Dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah

Yes "You Can Leave Your Hat On" would have been a great one. Written By Randy Newman I have always liked it.

I would have loved to hear him sing The Last Dance by Garth Brooks. I think thats who sings it.

your song

Take it Easy

Long cool Woman in a black dress

The Most Beautiful girl in the world

I think Elvis would've done great on several songs from U2's
"The Joshua Tree" CD, had he lived beyond 1977:
"I still haven't found what I'm looking for"
"Angel of Harlem"
"With or without you"

and also later U2 songs:
"One"
"She moves in mysterious ways"

or the one Roy Orbison recorded:
"Mystery Girl"

There's a melancholy to many U2 songs that I can just hear
Elvis' voice doing.

Here is this fabulous song as sung by Tom Jones:

I think that Elvis would have sounded so AWESOME on this song also -- "The Thrill is Gone" by B. B. King -- its got that funky beat and sounds dirty -- I am sure that Mr. King would have been quite honored.

Thanks for the Tom Jones video Liz. I love his deep throaty voice..always have.

My choice of a song I've wanted to hear Elvis sing is "Old Time Rock n' Roll" by Bob Seger. Other than quite a few of Elvis songs, this is my favorite...says it all.

Woow! If I imagine Elvis' voice and moving as he sings this song on stage... I get goosebumps... I loved the movie (The Full Monty) anyways.

[shelley.m.]

I have read that Elvis performed the song "Butterfly" during concerts in 1957.Why didn't he record that song?

I Who Have Nothing, Imagine, Thunderball, LA Woman, Riders on the Storm, they're are just so many
