Are You Lonesome Tonight? - Elvis Single Review
Single Review
It was back-to-back chart toppers for the King with Are You Lonesome Tonight? In November 1960 it was It's Now Or Never,then in January 1961 he did it again with this magnificently sung 'torch' song. Initially at hit for Al Jolson in 1927, the ballad was a favourite of Colonel Parker's wife Marie, so he asked his manager if he could do a cover version for her. It proved that,despite having spent two years in the army, Elvis hadn't lost his touch or his appeal. Curiously, it included the monologue from Shakespeare's As You Like It,("All the world's a stage")and brought together the world's most famous playwright and entertainer.It stayed on chart for 15 weeks.
Next week-Wooden Heart.
