Re: Which One Is More Wonderful.
hmm, tough, they are different kind of songs.
each has it's own specific hook that makes it unique.
Still I would rank them personally as:
1) it's a wonderfull life
2) wonderful world
3) it's a wonderful world

Joined this board exactly 30 years after Elvis show in Phoenix, Arizona to celebrate this wonderful fact.

My choice, too. It has a real uplifting vibe to it.jeanno wrote:Wonderful World (1968)
It's A Wonderful Life would be second choice. Equally uplifting.
It's A Wonderful World, in all honesty, is a bit lame and the lyrics are somewhat contrived.

Re: Which One Is More Wonderful.
None of them are top shelf material, but Elvis' singing on the 1961 master is exquisite. I am pretty sure I know which one Presley would have considered most wonderful.

I'd say The Wonderful World of Christmas.

Re: Which One Is More Wonderful.
Just reading the title of the thread, I would have thought I'd have been one of the options.
As is, I prefer the 3rd option (but I like them all).

Re: Which One Is More Wonderful.
Rob, you're not there because you're obviously the most wonderful. We need to know what's 2nd most wonderful.
EDIT: I have not heard any of these so I have no idea what is most wonderful

Re: Which One Is More Wonderful.
Based on recent forum discussions, one could have presumed the title of this thread questioned which is more wonderful, "Girl Happy" or "Heart of Rome?" As far as the three options provided are concerned, none of them are particularly noteworthy. I like the Live A Little, Love A Little session and musical production in general, so perhaps I would give "Wonderful World" the nod if I had to choose one.

Re: Which One Is More Wonderful.
Like them all but 'Wonderful World' from March 1968 is my choice.
It was the first song Elvis recorded after the birth of Lisa-Marie.

Re: Which One Is More Wonderful.
This is a wonderful day, it's as bright as a day's ever bin
There is a big yellow sun looking down on a wonderful scene
Is your heart filled with pain ?
Shall I come back agen ?
Elvis's pronunciation in these two instances should have been corrected. Mind you, I wouldn't have been the one to tell him !

Re: Which One Is More Wonderful.
I'm not a fan at all of "Wonderful World" from '68... sounds like it belongs on the Love Letters LP... but I do like the other two... particularly "What a Wonderful Life"

Re: Which One Is More Wonderful.
No one would have corrected Elvis on how he said Been. and if they did he would not be recording with them again. The song from Live a lIttle is the best out of the three. Nice happy tune.
