Elvis Presley was one of the most influential singers of the 20th century, yet it's hard to tell (sometimes) with this collection. Not to imply this is bad stuff--far from it--it's just that some of the songs here aren't up to the power of his groundbreaking mid-'50s recordings or the passionate heights of his late-'60s/early-'70s material. This CD collects all the best songs from Elvis's movies, movies that were produced at a fast and furious pace. CAN"T HELP FALLING IN LOVE ranges from the sublime ("Jailhouse Rock," "Treat Me Nice," "Love Me Tender," the title song), to the downright odd ("Roustabout," "Bossa Nova Baby"), to the ridiculous ("Rock-a-Hula Baby"). This set is highly recommended for fans of Elvis the Entertainer, rather than Elvis the Singer or Elvis the Rocker.
