A compilation album with 22 welll-known movie
songs, published by BMG Music in the year 1999. The title was reissued in the
year 2003 by BMG Heriage in their "The Classic Album Series", new mastered using
DSD technology.
The Song "(Such An) Easy Question" isn't a movie
song. The song was used in the movie "Tickle Me" but not recorded for the film.
Can't Help Falling in Love: The Hollywood Hits
compiles 22 hit singles that were originally featured on soundtracks for films
starring Elvis Presley. Where the double-disc set Command Performances: The
Essential 60's Masters II concentrated on the '60s, specifically the cream of
what was not on the five-disc box From Nashville to Memphis, this compilation
draws from a random selection of movies Elvis made between 1956 and 1972. That's
not necessarily a bad thing, even if the sequencing is also at random, since
these featured songs are usually either quite good ("Jailhouse Rock," "Loving
You," "King Creole," "Return to Sender," "Viva Las Vegas") or are embarrassing
guilty pleasures ("Bossa Nova Baby," "Rock-a-Hula Baby," etc.). So, this isn't a
definitive collection of movie hits, nor does it have all the movie hits that a
casual fan may want. It's simply a reasonably enjoyable Elvis collection, one
among many others of the same stripe in his catalog. (AllMusic Review by Stephen
