Elvis - Welcome to My World


This a compilation album, slightly water damaged.  I do like how the circular wear mark wraps around his head, like a halo?  From 1977, just months before he died. All but one of the song on it had been previously released (with "Your Cheatin' Heart", recorded in 1957! Previously unissued recording of "I Can't Stop Loving You" was taken from a 1972 concert.  Click on the title of this post for a youtube clip of The Who doing a song from The Endless Wire. It is called Real Good Looking Boy. The intro and also within that song is woven the chorus from Can't Help Falling in Love, written by George Weiss, Hugo Peretti and Luigi Creatore. That famous Elvis song is based on "Plaisir d'amour" by Jean Paul Egide Martini. It was adapted for inclusion in the 1961 film Blue Hawaii, starring Elvis Presley.
