These are some of the lesser heard songs of Elvis Presley, but some of the most memorable for me. I also discovered a new tune that I had never heard before in "Summer Kisses Winter Tears." It was produced for the movie "Flaming Star," but was never used, and I found I really like it a great deal. When I first heard it, I thought I was listening to "Ain't No Sunshine".....the two tunes are very similar. I never tire of "Angel", "Lonely Man," "A Whistling Tune" and "Flaming Star." But all the tunes on this CD are pretty good! It was an excellent purchase to me, and worth every penny to a real Elvis fan.

This is CD includes songs from three of Elvis' early 1960's movies: Flaming Star, Wild in the Country, and Follow That Dream. No soundtrack album was released for any of the movies, however EPs were released for Flaming Star and Follow That Dream and the song Wild In the Country and Lonely Man were released on singles. Flaming Star and Follow That Dream were top 20 hits in the US, reaching 14 and 15 on the Billboard singles chart, while Wild In The Country peaked at 26 and Lonely Man at 32. This is a pretty good collection and a good example of early 60's pop-rock. Not Elvis' best work from the period, but it is not bad.

Elvis fans beware, this is a good CD... but for some reason the song Whistling Tune lost it's whistle..
which was a big deal to me. The version I remembered had the whistle in it. Otherwise this is pretty good.
For the whistle version, go to the Kid Galahad soundtrack.

I had this music on album but because they were so worn I could not reproduce good quality cd, I love Elvis what can I say.
