5.0 out of 5 stars Great collection, December 4, 2003

Makes one realize just how great an interpreter of songs Elvis
was. He never recorded one self-penned song, but with his interpretive capabilities he didn't have to. He put his own personal stamp on everything he did, from the sublime to
the ridiculous. This collection has much of the great ballads
he recorded, many rarely heard from early in his career with
a pure innocence and heartfelt simplicity that he lost shortly
thereafter. As he matured, he created a more mature, langerous
style, not unlike Patsy Cline, that was part pop, part country,
part blues. Finally, you get ballads near the end of his career,
as some thought he was entering a new, creative phase. In
the last stage of his career, he was still using outstanding
songwriters like Willie Nelson. Funny, when you think of it,
as much as Elvis is identified with Rock and Roll, he may have
been just as groundbreaking and capable as a ballader. Don't
forget, according to Elvis himself, his greatest influence was

Dean Martin. Therefore, the absolute core of Elvis was and always
will be his ballads. Listen to any of these, from "love me tender', to "Are you lonesome tonight", to "It's now or never",
to "Suspicious Minds", and you will hear someone born to be
a balladeer.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Essential CD for the non-Elvis Fan, December 31, 1999

By

This review is from: Heart & Soul (Audio CD)

This is the best overall sample of Elvis' great voice and classic songs. Even if someone doesn't particularly like Elvis, this CD is the one for them. Those of us who know him will agree that all the slections will touch the heart and soul. I play the CD for non-Elvis fans just to watch their reactions. This is essential listening for everyone who came up through the Elvis era. The music just lasts.

5.0 out of 5 stars I could go on and never end., January 7, 2006

This is a great collection of love songs by Elvis. A lot of these songs were big hits that are familiar to everybody, but it also includes some lesser known gems like "Young and Beautiful", "As Long As I Have You" and "The Girl of My Best Friend". From a collector's standpoint, this CD marked the first appearance of stereo versions of "Love Me Tender" and "I've Lost You", plus the first release of "Bridge Over Troubled Water" without dubbed applause. Elvis fans will love this CD.
