Song of the Day #4,924: ‘Can’t Help Falling in Love’ – Haley Reinhart
This is a vacation week, for me and the blog. I’ll be posting, without comment, several songs I’ve stashed away in an Odds & Ends list for just such an occasion. Enjoy, and see you in 2022!
Song of the Day #3,724: ‘Can’t Help Falling in Love’ – Kina Grannis
My family went to see Crazy Rich Asians for a second time, and I was just as smitten if not more so. This truly is the finest romantic comedy I’ve seen in a long, long time.
Last week I wrote about the film’s use of a Mandarin version of the Coldplay song ‘Yellow’ in a pivotal sequence. The performer is Katharine Ho, an early loser on The Voice who had left the music business before being tapped for this breakthrough movie’s soundtrack.
Song of the Day #2,497: ‘Can’t Help Falling in Love’ – Elvis Presley
Elvis Presley might not have been the world’s best actor, and his films were never in danger of winning any awards, but you’d think the Academy would see past that to acknowledge the songs themselves.
Both ‘Love Me Tender’ and ‘Jailhouse Rock’ were written for films of the same names, and neither got a sniff of Oscar love.
But for my money, even those two snubs are overshadowed by this one.
Song of the Day #820: ‘Can’t Help Falling in Love’ – Elvis Presley
Top Ten Male Vocalists – #5 – Elvis Presley
It wouldn’t be right to make a list like this and not include Elvis Presley. Even though I was born just five years before he died, I know that The King must get his due.
His voice was certainly technically good… he had a great range, could hit all the notes, was able to pull off rock, country, blues and gospel without breaking a sweat.
Actually, I take that back… he did it while sweating quite a bit, which was another key to his appeal.
