The Very Best of Love

Performer: Elvis Presley
Distributor: Madacy Distribution

Notes: This Collector's Edition tin includes five greetings cards, a 32-page booklet and a pictorial bonus DVD. Whoever selected the track list for this romantic Elvis Presley collection had many hits to choose from, making the final result all the more intriguing for its ingenuity. Although the usual suspects are here--" Love Me Tender," "Can't Help Falling In Love"--the compilation includes some equally passionate but less hyped singles like the Leiber/Stoller croon "Don't," the 1964 ballad "It Hurts Me," co-written by Charlie Daniels, and "Young And Beautiful" from JAILHOUSE ROCK.

"Before Elvis, there was nothing," John Lennon once said. An overstatement, of course, but Elvis Presley's ascendance to superstardom in the mid-1950s kicked off a musical and social revolution whose impact has yet to abate. After the charming young man from Tupelo, Mississippi was discovered by Sun Records honcho Sam Phillips, the wise studio owner took Presley under his wing, leading to the landmark recording of his first single, "That's All Right (Mama)." The rest, of course, is well-documented history, with Elvis going on to conquer the pop charts, the box office, and beyond. He truly was the King, and his blend of country, pop, and R&B became the cornerstone of rock & roll.
