Excellent Article On Movie Songs

[Cryogenic]

This goes back to March, so some of you have probably read it already. But here we go:

I stumbled on it after listening to "All I Needed Was The Rain" and wondering just who else cared for said-song. Five minutes after searching on Google and there was my answer.

I'm so glad I read that article because it made me realise just how many GREAT movie songs Elvis did. "All I Needed Was The Rain" is a spectacular vocal, and as the author of that article noted, could have sustained an entire album if Elvis had only explored the strange bluesy/country hybrid sound a little further. Based on that article's recommendation, I then sought out "Summer Kisses, Winter Tears" and was again struck by the power and delicacy of Elvis' vocal. Some of these movie songs rank - or should rank - amongst Elvis' finest work. I completely agree with the author: they need more exposure. Only then will the myth that every movie song stank and that Elvis recorded nothing of value in those sessions be well and truly eradicated.

Not a fan of Movie soundtracks at all, lots of crap there, Elvis hiself hatted most of them, but yes, it is true that among the dirt you can find some very very nice jewels here are some for me:

In no particular order, in Red the ones that mach anything from his studio work, the others lets say are ok:
