MUSIC IN THE MOVIES
All Hail The King!
Viva
Las Vegas/Roustabout - Elvis Presley
|
|
Audio CD (February 23, 1993); Number of Discs: 1
Two of the King's best soundtracks on 1 album. 23 digitally remastered
tracks.
"Viva Las Vegas" remains one of the King's most popular films, and
Elvis sounded like he actually enjoyed recording the songs for that film.
The two duets with Ann-Margret (one of which made it into the film) are
raw and sexy, showing the respect and chemistry they had together.

NBC-TV
Special - Elvis Presley
Audio CD (August 27, 1991); Number of Discs: 1
As pivotal a moment in his career as "That's Alright, Mama" and "Heartbreak
Hotel," this was the show that put Elvis Presley back on his throne. It
came at a time when the Beatles, the Stones, Hendrix, and acid rock ruled
the genre and followed a decade of nothing but mostly lousy Elvis movies.
On December 3, 1968, the camera panned in on the King's incredibly handsome
face: "If you're lookin' for trouble, you came to the right place," he
snarled before bursting into a terrific "Guitar Man." From that moment
through the special's goose-bump-inducing finale, "If I Can Dream" (after
which, legend has it, Presley collapsed from exhaustion backstage), this
stands as one of rock music's great moments. Alas, it was recorded for
television, so the audio quality on both vinyl and CD has never been of
the highest quality. Memories, a two-disc compilation with cleaned-up sound,
includes all the outtakes from the "unplugged" segment, but the stuff remains
best viewed on video via either the special itself or the One Night with
You outtakes video. --Bill Holdship |
