Single Review
The first number one for Presley in 1962(February),staying on chart for 20 weeks.Lifted from Elvis'flick 'Blue Hawaii',Rock-A-Hula Baby was originally released as a double A-side,backed by the timeless classic'Can't Help Falling In Love',which went on to feature in virtually all of his subsequent live performances.Blue Hawaii proved to be the most successful of all his 'soundtracks',remaining at number one on the American album charts for an unbroken run of 20 weeks.In the UK album charts,it was to become his first long running album of 65 weeks,pipping his previous record of 55 weeks with G.I.Blues from December 1960.The King enjoyed the island's atmosphere so much,he returned there on three more occasions to make films.The song was apparently an after thought for the film,as the principal shooting had been finished.It was decided that it would be great value for money,by seeing Elvis enjoying the then latest dance craze-The Twist.
