Greggers' Spin
Just my opinion. Give us yours!
"All That I Am", from the soundtrack to the film Spinout, is typical of Elvis' movie soundtrack ballads from the mid-60s. Pleasant melody, sung quite well, but it just sounds like Elvis could've done it better. You can't help but wonder what Elvis might have done with a song like this if he'd been in the studio with a producer like Felton Jarvis or Chet Atkins working on a regular album, instead of cranking out another Hollywood soundtrack.
Still, Elvis manages to hold his own, crooning with the best of them, and even getting into the Top Ten on the Easy-Listening charts! So, if you suddenly get an urge to listen to the King Of Rock N Roll doing a lounge song from the mid-60s, you could do a lot worse than digging out your copy of "All That I Am"!

"All That I Am" Lyrics
Lies in your hands
You are my destiny
When you are in my arms, I rule the world
And when were far apart, how cruel the world
All that I want is to be near to you
To spend my life making it clear to you
You are my heart, my soul, my dream come true
All that I am, I am because of you
All that I want is to be near to you
To spend my life making it clear to you
You are my heart, my soul, my dream come true
All that I am, I am because of you
Because of you
Because of you
