Elvis Presley died on 16 August 1977, 40 years ago. We can't let this weekend pass without a few tunes in commemoration.
First a couple of 'Italian' numbers modeled, respectively, on O Sole Mio and Torna a Surriento:
Continuing in the romantic vein:
Can't Help Falling in Love. A version by Andrea Bocelli. A woman for a heterosexual man is the highest finite object. The trick is to avoid idolatry and maintain custody of the heart.
A Gospel number:
From the spiritual to the secular:
Marie's the Name of his Latest Flame
And then there was hokey stuff like this reflecting his time in the Army in Germany:
Can't leave out the overdone and hyperromantic:
The Wonder of You. (Per mia moglie)
Out of time. Next stop: Judge Jeannine.
