What Elvis songs do you like and why?

[jadedragon61]

Really, IMO, the key point is that EP could sing anything and make it at least sound good, if not great. It's the inflection, tone, and range of emotions that he managed to put into his voice. I can't name one other singer who can do this as well.

Just for kicks, here's some picks:

50's: Good Rockin' Tonight, Baby Let's Play House

60': It Hurts Me, Return to Sender

70's: Just Pretend, You've Lost that Lovin' Feeling

But, I could make a list 100 long.

Elvis' music is my present addiction. From the Hillbilly rock: Blue Moon of Kentucky I like the way it makes you want to get up & dance
Blues: Heartbreak Hotel I like the story of how it was written. I try to imagine what kind of song I would have written after reading about that young man, & I couldn't have done it better.
Rock: Burning Love, Hunk of Love, Rip it up,
Country: For the Heart, US Male, only Elvis could sing that song & get away with it. I love the line: I bought her a ring that I got on sale, that makes her the property of this US male. Property? Whoah!
Ballads: Indescribably Blue,
Love Song: I'll Remember You, that song just brings me to a "special place". It's corny I know, but it really mellows me out.

[Suspicious Minds]

Some of my favourites;


Poor Boy; this one is a bouncy track. It makes me happy.
Young Dreams; this track is the one I play the most. Because I am still dreaming.
Love Me Tonight; just one of his best ballads.
Make The World Go Away from TTWII SE;my favourite live track for a long time now. The violins blend in so beautiful on this version.

I love songs like Any Day Now, American Trilogy, How Great Thou Art, If I Can Dream where he uses a lot of range. On the other hand I like songs like Down In The Alley where his voice sounds raw - true R & B style. Diane

Elvis recorded literally hundreds of songs. Generally speaking I like them all. I can listen to any or all of them. There are some that I'm not in love with. No, it's not necessarily certain movie songs. Sometimes I even tire of certain "classics".

How The Web Was Woven
It's Midnight and I'll Remember You.

Just a few I like.

[G-Man]
