Notes:
|
Elvis'
first smash hit out of the Army, which locked him forevermore into the
tradition of the popular romantic song.
A recycling of the Neopolitan operatic "O Sole Mio", Elvis gives it the full treatment, with mandolin, piano by Floyd Cramer and Elvis' voice soaring to the heights of Mount Love. A heart melter, taior-made for the girls. The song was also performed during Elvis' last TV appearance on CBS. |
