Biography

Elvis Aaron Presley is one of the biggest-selling artists of all-time, but mere numbers cannot begin to explain the colossal cultural impact he had in the mid-20th Century. He was a central figure in the transformation of the grey, conservative 50s into the technicolor 60s through the liberalizing effect of rock and pop music. Frank Sinatra had proved extremely popular in the 40s with young ... Read more in Amazon's Elvis Presley Store

5.0 out of 5 stars Viva las Voice 31 Jan 2005
By Mr. L. Rundle
Format:Audio CD
Elvis Presley is without doubt the greatest singer that has ever lived, his voice just seems so more human than any other and is rich with feeling and that comes across on this one the many soundtracks to his films. This one being the songs from the wonderful film Viva las vegas.

The standard of song is higher than usual (although all the sountracks are worth taking a closer look at) with Elvis delivering the title track as only he could, this song helps to make the film memorable unlike other title tracks such as 'Easy come Easy go'

'I need somebody to lean on' is a fantastic ballad that is unlike anything he did beore or since is delivered in a relaxed but aching manner and Elvis sings it better than the people that have made these types of ballads their traemark.

One thing that continues to be absent from his soundtrack is the song Anne Margret sang in the movie called 'My Rival' this is a shame as it is better than the Nancy Sinatra song that is included on the 'Speedway' soundtrack.

There are a couple of duets with Anne Margret on here, 'The lady loves me' is a charmingly funny and 'Your the Boss' is seductive and delivered in a way that todays singers couldn't begin to emulate. On this edition the outtakes includes 'Today, tommorow and forever' sang as a duet, it is charming and historic but ultimately not quite as good as the master with Elvis singing on his own.

'Santa lucia' is brilliant foreign piece. 'Come on everybody' is spellbinding Elvis magic and nothing ever dips in standard and best of all Elvis is singing it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better late than never 3 May 2004
By Marc Haegeman
Format:Audio CD
"Viva Las Vegas" is without doubt one of Elvis Presley's more convincing Hollywood outings with a good script, a superb set of songs, and the presence of Ann-Margret. For some perverse reason, though, from the start the soundtrack has been neglected and was never granted an album. At the time RCA considered the matter closed by releasing a single ("What'd I Say"/"Viva Las Vegas") and a four-song extended play in dullish mono sound, leaving several songs on the shelve for years, or indeed, as in the case of the three Ann-Margret duets, ages after Elvis had been dead and buried. The present Follow That Dream release finally resurrects the soundtrack as it should, adding several outtakes as a delectable bonus, and presenting it all in outstanding sound quality and classy artwork. As has become customary in FTD's soundtrack releases there is a great booklet in a handy tri-fold digipack (the size of a 45rpm).
Better late than never. Enjoy!

4.0 out of 5 stars Long Overdue Soundtrack! 23 Mar 2007
By Callum G
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
One of Elvis' best-loved 60's movies with a good soundtrack finally gets a complete overview (bar a couple of solo Ann-Margret numbers) with this 'Follow That Dream' Label release.

This is very much a welcome addition to the Elvis catalogue especially with the enticing bonus tracks in the form of Alternate studio out-takes. It appears that justice was never done to the overall music representing 'Viva Las Vegas' first time around, and it was only briefly twenty years after the movie was made did the majority of these songs find themselves released all together on the 'B' side of an official RCA Picture Disc Album (the soundtrack of 'Jailhouse Rock' was the 'A' side).

This is a really smart package with some great colour artwork representing the original RCA Extended Play cover from 1964. There is also an informative booklet with photos, included in the sleeve.

'Viva Las Vegas' is one of Elvis' better movie soundtracks and you won't be disappointed with this purchase as, with all of Elvis' album output, there appears to be something for everybody.
