There is no way anyone who loves Elvis songs can pick just "one" favorite! I do tend to favor Unchained Melody but when most any one comes on, I have to sigh and think...no one can sing like Elvis could!

You're right,of course. But almost everyone has A favorite or two. So let's go for the short list!

I get chills when I hear him sing the "Hawaiian Wedding Song". Blue Hawaii is my favorite movie of his too.

How Great Thou Art....and "Are you lonesome tonight?"....sung in my good ear with the lights turned low. LOL Jo

Kentucky Rain is mine.
DH Keith's is Can't Help Falling in Love and In the Ghetto.

Edited to include Keith's choices as he's a die hard Elvis fan.

I am not crazy about him at all just love his beautiful voice and enjoyed couple of his movies.
My sister -in-law boy she goes crazy about him huge picture of him with bunch of blue glass candles on wall. She worship him too much and he is not god. She had this for many year since he died bought the picture of him.

Elvis WHO??????

in the ghetto!!!!!!!
on a cold a gray chicago morning ............! oh i luv that one!!!

Ruby... This is Elvis Presley and his ex-wife Priscilla and his daugthter Lisa the one he own house in Grace Memhis , Tennessee.

Please don't throw thing's at me for saying this but I have never been a big Elvis fan but I have to tell you a funny story! There was a lady that I use to work with her name is Rose. Now Rose and I got along great until the first christmas that we worked together cause she brought in an Elvis Christmas CD. Well I tried to be real polite but by the time the thing was over I was about ready to scream!!! So being the good friend that I am the next day I brought in my Alvin and the Chipmunk's CD and played it over and over again until Rose finally promised to take Elvis home with her if I did the same with the Chipmunk's!!!!! Well we are still friend's to this day and Elvis and Alvin have never entered our office again!!!!!!!

I'm with notmartha, "In the Ghetto", such a bold song when it came out in the 1960's. Beautiful.


REDROSE, I think ruby42 was confused with Elvis Costello.

Sorry guys, not an Elvis fan, but did like some of his songs, especially the ones I could jive too. "All shook Up" comes to mind, when I used to practice with my dad's tie - tied to the doorknob!! lol!!

Heheh...I can just see you jive-dancing w/your dad's tie on the door knob Louisa! Whhhoooooo-----eeeeeee!

I don't know if I have a favorite...maybe "Are you Lonesome tonite?"...course now, as soon as I hear another one of his "crooners" that would be my favorite too!

Actually, I just sent my Mom a 3CD set of Elvis singing all his Gospel songs! They're going on a trip to Branson next month and were looking for some music to listen to for the drive (from Florida to Branson).

Are You Lonesome tonight and Love Me Tender

THATS the one I was thinking of, Larkie! I could could sing that one to the Pope, and bet he'd cry! One of my utmost faves!

Blue Christmas... because of the backup singers' part!!!

Yep! Now Blue Christmas is a good one too.
Course now, one of the most SINCERE versions of that song is done by Porky Pig...I just gotta hear it every year!http://www.mp3s4free.net/xmas.shtml
(Scroll down to "PorkyPig-Blue Christmas") :>)

Uh-uh-uh b-b-but P-P-P-Porky t-t-takes s-so long t-t-to g-get around t-t-to it!
S-S-Shoe!!

Hmmmm...he does? Mine downloaded in seconds. Did you Right-click? then save? it's much faster that way!
Some day, when I grow up...I'm gonna learn how to sing just like Porky! And will come to your house and seranade your fambly, kikisdad!

don't shoot me, I'm not certain of the name. It's a christmas song and starts "well, it's Christmas time pretty baby and the snow is falling on the ground..." real bluesy and a lot of piano.

I can listen to that one the entire month of December. Just did:)!!! lol

Love Elvis songs, but 2, which i cant stand, they are,

Wooden heart,
Are you lonesome tonight,

Just bought his new CD which has been the No 1 hit here in the UK, its some of his hits,one of my favourites is Kentucky rain, and following on, Thats alright Mama, and Your right shes left. Oh i put it on when i am busy doing housewoek.

Hard to believe he has been going since the 50s when i was just a little girl. RIP Elvis you have given millions pleasure and you will never be forgotten as the new generation here in Britain find out what good songs you sang.

I like "Can't help falling in love" and "One night with you". There's a couple of others but those to are the first ones that come to mind.

Ruby42, that's a very funny story!! LOL
