Love Letters demonstrates Elvis'undeniable love for music.He didn't just sing a song...he gave it energy,he let it breathe.This is clearly on display in the way he sings on Heart of Rome.When I'm Over You is another opportunity for him to grab hold of the music and make it his own.I'll Never Know and This is Our Dance are two seldom heard songs which makes this a must have for any fan.Got My Mojo Working and Cindy,Cindy allows Elvis to show-off...and he does.His ability to sing R&B still goes unnoticed except by us fans.The title track was the second time he did this song.the first was in the mid-60s.I like this version best for his voice had matured by the early 70s.This was one of many albums from his historic Nashville marathon recording sessions.A great and fun CD to have.

This is an ok album; not particularly strong, but not bad. It was released in 1971 and peaked at 33 on the US album chart and 12 on the country album chart. It did better in the UK reaching 7 on the album chart. The title track, "Love Letters" was originally released as a single in 1966 and was a top 20 hit in the US and top ten in the UK. The song "Life" was a minor hit in 1971 reaching 53 on the US singles chart and 34 on the Adult Contemporary chart. It's flip side "Only Believe" was a top ten country hit. It has a couple of up-tempo tunes on it that are pretty good, "Got My Mojo Working" and "Cindy, Cindy".

this one shows the wide range of his talent and that he did not waste any talent.a great underappreciated cd.buy it and enjoy
