BEAUTIFUL SONGS!I RECENTLY MARRIED AND MY HUSBAND AND I WANTED "THE HAWAIIAN WEDDING SONG" SUNG AT OUR WEDDING. ELVIS PRESLEY'S VERSION OF THE SONG WAS PERFECT! IT WAS BEAUTIFUL AND TOUCHING. THE SONG TOWARDS THE END OF THE CEREMONY MADE OUR WEDDING EVEN MORE MEMORABLE. IN ADDITION, THE OTHER SONGS WERE GREAT, TOO, AND WE ENJOY LISTENING TO THE CD FREQUENTLY. April 15, 2008

Blue Hawaii
Very unhappy for the purchase of CDs because both came in damages cases. They were not well prepared for mailing. I couln't give them as a gift, which was the main purpose for this purchase.
Unhappy client:( September 1, 2007

The movie and soundtrack that sealed Elvis' 1960s fate
After coming off back-to-back strong acting (and very little singing) movies in "Flaming Star" and "Wild In The Country" (but very little money at the box office), Elvis starred in "Blue Hawaii" and his acting career and soundtracks would never be the same again. The soundtrack was hugely successful by being No. 1 for more than a year. But it also doomed Elvis to a decade of corny scripts and corny songs, but big bucks in B formula movies.
The songs are fairly strong with the title track "Blue Hawaii" and "Can't Help Falling In Love" (which I had sung at my wedding!). Also, "Rock-A-Hula-Baby" is a great semi-rocker, along with the great ballads of "No More" and "Hawaiian Wedding Song".
But then you throw in the corny tunes of "Beach Boy Blues", "Slicin' Sand" and "Ito Eats", and you know the rocker of the 1950s is dead and twitching in the grave.
The vocals are solid in all the songs -- even the goofy ones -- but the success of this movie and soundtrack basically signed Elvis' death warrant in Hollywood. No more good scripts would ever find their way to Elvis' manager again -- it was all B movies from here on out and we were never able to see Elvis as a true actor, which is what he yearned to be.
