Fun in Acapulco is the nineteenth album by Elvis Presley, released
on RCA Victor Records in mono and stereo, LPM/LSP 2756, in November
1963. It is the soundtrack to the 1963 film of the same name
starring Presley. Recording sessions took place at Radio Recorders
in Hollywood on January 22 and 23, 1963; and at RCA Studio B in
Nashville, Tennessee, on May 26 and 27, 1963. It peaked at number
three on the Billboard Top Pop Albums chart. "Bossa Nova Baby"
arrived in stores one month prior to the soundtrack, coupled with
the track "Witchcraft". The fact that the bossa nova craze of the
1960s was a Brazilian phenomenon rather than a Mexican one mattered
little, as the single peaked at number 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 as
well as reaching as high as the 20th spot on the R&B singles chart. (wikipedia
