Elvis Songs Index

"A lot has been written and said about why he was so great, but I think the best way to appreciate his greatness is just to go back and play some of the old records."
---Huey Lewis---



Yeah! Preach it, Brother Huey!





You've already heard about Elvis' life, personality, movies, and "cultural importance". Yeah, yeah, that's nice, but c'mon, Elvis was a singer! Let's talk about the songs!





Elvis recorded around 800 songs over the span of almost 25 years. Even the most die-hard fan must admit that the songs, shall we say, uh, varied in quality! Also, let's face it, opinions vary a lot, too! What's good to me won't be necessarily what's good to you, although I think we can all agree that "Jailhouse Rock" is a few notches above "Yoga Is As Yoga Does"! ...and the songs we don't agree on... well, that's where the fun begins!



Click on the song title in the index below and get all the details on that song:

• recording date details
  
• chart position
  
• a little history
  
• and of course, my spin on the song.
  

If it's a song that you particularly love (or hate!), post your spin on it, too!



I've got a long of songs to write about, so I'm starting with the songs that were released as singles, going alphabetically, and I'll fill in the rest later. Be patient with me. This ought to take a lifetime or two!

Enjoy!
