Product Description
Amazon.com
It's a shame that only one side of Elvis' multi-faceted talent is remembered 25 years on from his death but there is so much more to the millennium's greatest performer than garish jump suits and shaky legs. The 50 Greatest Love Songs reminds us what a great singer Presley was; coming from the heart with more feeling and passion than most could ever imagine, all 50 of these songs are classics of the last four decades. The double disc set includes all the up-tempo standards like the incredible "Suspicious Minds", "I just can't help believin'" and "Always On My Mind" plus the Dusty Springfield signature tune "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me". Also included are some of his older works from before and during the cinema years like "Good Luck Charm", "Love Me Tender" and "Old Shep". So no blue shoes, no sequinned jump suits, just the king singing about life, love and heartache. --Georgina Collins
Chronique amazon.fr
Rarement un artiste aura été aussi compilé que celui que l'on surnommait le King. Au point que sa discographie relève d'un véritable casse-tête. Il faut dire que le mythe qu'il est devenu et sa carrière s'y prêtent. Cette dernière, déclinable à l'infini, s'offre à toutes les associations possibles et imaginables : par genre (les ballades, le rock'n'roll, le gospel, la country), par label (Sun, RCA), par méthode d'enregistrement (en public, à la maison à Graceland), par période (avant le départ au service militaire, après la démobilisation, le comeback de 1968, Las Vegas, les deux dernières années), par film (une papardelle de bluettes hollywoodiennes) ou par lieu (Nashville, Memphis). Regrouper ses chansons d'amour en forme de ballades est une idée comme une autre, pertinente. Tous les morceaux, sans exception, sont de très haute tenue et témoignent au plus près d'une légende dorée comme du sens de la démesure de leur interprète. Toutefois, on pourra préférer la succession des titres sur les albums originaux, plus aérée et variée. Pour ce faire, on se reportera à l'incontournable série Elvis Story. Par contre, si l'on ne souhaite avoir qu'un disque du King regroupant essentiellement ses meilleures chansons d'amour, celui-ci fait très bien l'affaire. --Hervé Comte

As usual with RCA, a great idea poorly executed.,

This review is from: 50 Greatest Love songs (Audio CD)
50 classic Elvis love songs on 2 remastered CDs. It must have looked great on paper. It's a collection that will appeal to the Elvis completist, the casual fan and to those who are suckers for a great romantic ballad. And since it contains songs of finding love as well as losing it, it should be able to touch all the bases. The title after all is "Greatest Love Songs" so this is the cream of the crop, right? Hmm...not if you ask me. I admit it comes close but not close enough. RCA has the ability to put all of the essentials and leave off the songs that don't work as well, so why don't they? This package does not include "It's Midnight", "I'm Leaving", "Hurt", "I Really Don't Want To Know" or "Loving Arms". But it has "Old Shep". A song about a dog. Whatever.

50 Elvis Love Songs Can't Be Wrong,
By anthony nasti (Brooklyn, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 50 Greatest Love songs (Audio CD)
An idea that looked great on paper that sounds great on cd. 50 of The King's greatest love songs. With so many Elvis collections out there, there are only a few that are essential. This is one of them.Disc 1 of this 2 - disc set features music mostly from the later period, but includes earlier classics "It's Now Or Never", "Surrender" and "Are You Lonesome Tonight". My favorite songs here include "It's Impossible", "I've Lost You" and the majestic wedding staple "The Wonder Of You". Also, don't overlook his mesmerizing covers of the standards "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'", "Spanish Eyes' and "Make The World Go Away". Their just as electrifying as any other version. Disc 2 is from the early years. There are classics here like "Can't Help Falling In Love". Two tracks that I really liked are "I'll Rember You" and his version of Ray Charles' "You Don't Know Me". And don't overlook "Girl Of My Bst Friend" and "Don't" - romantic ballads at their best. This is a great collection. RCA really knows their stuff.

Definitive,
By Peedy W. Legs "peedy-w-legs" (Springfield, VA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 50 Greatest Love songs (Audio CD)
Great collection of many of Elvis' love songs (or slower songs). Album one is the early Elvis, while Album 2 is the older, Vegas-style Elvis. Together, they offer a good look at these different stages in his muscial career, which offer very disparate styles. And with 50 songs, this pretty much covers all of the "love" songs Elvis had, so it's a fairly definitive collection. For that reason, it's a great buy.
