Here are some of the songs topping the charts from music hot spots around the world.
Worldcrunch Pick:
Earlier this month, Legacy Recordings released “Elvis, The Movie Soundtracks,” a box set of not 2, 3 or 5 albums, but 20 complete CDs compiling the King’s best movie songs. Between 1956 and 1969, Elvis played in a total of 31 films, sometimes shooting up to three in a year.
These mostly hokey romances were all about Elvis finding a pretext to start singing and swinging his hips around to seduce the pretty lady who seems to find this completely normal. But it is also undeniable that at least Jailhouse Rock, Love Me Tender, Loving You, King Creole are up there among the classics.
Here, Elvis and his turtleneck/blazer combo perform the original “A Little Less Conversation” in the 1968 movie Live A Little, Love A Little:
