I have to admit Colin, I just don't see it...

Well, let's say it shouldn't suit him or his style !

But he was such a skilled singer he could make even unsuitable material sound good !

this song is a very dramatic song ... view your own opinions ...

"What Now My Love" may not be what the typical Elvis fan might have wanted to see, but his commitment is undeniable in most of the versions we have.

Presley loved a crescendo finish, and showed it on his records as far back as "It's Now Or Never" (1960) or "There's Always Me' (1961), and the live versions from the 1970s fit right in.

That said, the delightful, uptempo 1966 home demo issued by FTD is a personal favorite:



In A Private Moment (FTD, 2000)

To me the up tempo of the Home Demo imo doesn't Fit the song.

One of my all time favorite Elvis songs. I agree that the song probably speaks to Elvis' personal life at that particular time. His "big" ending is amazing. Yes, the Aloha version is amazing, but so too, was the version I heard Elvis do in 1973. Raised the roof! I never tire of this song. On a couple of versions I think I hear Elvis saying things like, "Yeah," or "I like that."
