There is not one single song I do not like.
but now do?
There is not one single song I do not like.
I was not crazy about "I'm Leavin" when it came out. But over time I have changed that opinion. I like that it is somewhat different for Elvis at the time-has a mystical feel to it.
Work in Progress!
"The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face." When I first heard it, I hated it, but it started to grow on me after I couldn't get it out of my head.
Elvis had his version in the can before Roberta Flack. So a case could be made that Elvis' version was the original.
True, by Roberta's was much, much better. Elvis improved the song live, particularly the best version he did in December 76
There are songs i don't like, mainly movie songs and dull ballads, and they usually stay in the not-liked categories

I hated Just Pretend at first, but it is now one of my favorite songs.
THe Impossible Dream and SOftly As I Leave You also.
Just pretend is one of my favorites...least favorite ITO EATS, Surrender, My wish came true, I liked his deep rich voice not his falsetto.![]()
I'm the King of the Jungle, They call me Tigerman

I didn't like American Trilogy at first. Now it's a favorite.
The impossible dream is one I don't like much but I am starting to warm up to it,
also "Don't" when I heard it as a kid I didn't like it at all, now I've come to appreciate
it more
The Legends
The song "life" it took me a while to warm to it. But after i heard it a few times and listened to the words i got to like it. It is a long song with tricky verses. Even elvis remarked in an studio outtake how long it is!!
"Life" is one of my absolute favorites!![]()
I remember not liking Blue Moon, but now it's one of my favourites!
Don't Be Cruel. It's not that I didn't like it, I was just immune to it. It's constantly played on the oldies station, as if that's the only Elvis song within reach to give airtime to.
It really came to light for me when I read the lyrics.
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
When I first heard Steamroller Blues, I hated it, but as the years went on, I really started liking it a lot. In fact, if I could have Elvis sing any song to me, I'd pick Steamroller Blues (believe it or not!).
The truth i like all,his voice is electrizante in each of his songs.
Another song is Don't. I just didn't care for this as he sang it when first released. Then, I'm watching him perform the same song in rehearsal - TTWII, and love this interpretation of that song. My new favorite.
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
