Ooh, I didn't know there were documentaries about Elvis on Prime. I must take a look.

As far as favourite songs of his, it's so hard to choose - possibly "You were always on my mind", or "I just can't help believing" or "The Wonder of You" or .... or ..... (goes off to dig out Elvis CD to play)

‘Always on my mind’ for me. 😢

Louella12 Sun 12-Nov-23 11:58:54

I loved Crying in the Chapel and In the Ghetto

There are too many to pick just one. Loving you, I just can't help believing, You were always on my mind, and You're the devil in disguise were the first ones that entered my head when I read the question.

Ooh, forgot "In the Ghetto" - so poignant.

"Way down" an absolute Corker.

Return to sender was my favourite, I saved up my Christmas money and bought the single, first one I ever bought.

Suspicious minds....I was never a big fan of Elvis although I could appreciate his talent but I do love that track/song.

Burning love

I love so many Elvis sings that I can't choose a particular favourite. I do like that recording of him bursting out laughing while singing, 'Are you lonesome tonight'. So funny. So real somehow.

Ooh, all the above plus Marie's The Name.

Lovely Elvis!

Calendargirl Sun 12-Nov-23 13:56:28

‘Always On My Mind’ and ‘The Girl Of My Best Friend’.

The latter one so poignant and true for so many people, I think.

Suspicious minds and guitar man

A song that is hardly ever heard is Young and Beautiful from the film Jailhouse Rock. Elvis sang the song to his girl friend in the film. Judy Tyler, who was killed in a car crash shortly after the film's release. Apparently this upset Elvis so much that he never wanted to sing the song again.

Sparkle, yes, In the Ghetto for me, too. The words, absolutely heartbreaking. I heard on the radio that it was Elvis’s favourite song.

Oh yes, loved it!

Blue Suede Shoes
Heartbreak Hotel

'You Were Always On My Mind'
That has to be sung by Willie Nelson for me.

Long, long before my time but obvs have heard quite a few of his songs.No fave one but It’s Now Or Never is a good one.

Listened to an Elvis song on You Tube the other day that I’d never heard before.
It was called “ Fool”. Absolutely loved it.
