Single (Limited Edition) Review

Surrender gave Elvis his third number one in May of 1961,after Are You Lonesome Tonight?(January)and Wooden Heart(March).A dramatic Latin ballad,it gave Elvis the perfect opportunity to showcase his vocal range.As with It’s Now Or Never,it had its roots firmly in Italy.Dean Martin,one of Elvis’ favourite singers had already had big success with a reworking of the

1911 standard ‘Torna a Sorrento’(Come Back To Sorrento)Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman re-wrote the English lyrics,with Elvis relishing the operatic-style climax.It also signalled an eight year hiatus from live performances as he concentrated on his Hollywood career.
