The song is " O Sole Mio " (Elvis's "It's Now or Never" ). Elvis does sing the song O Sole Mio in Italian did you know??

​@@msblue1003 Neopolitan DIALECT. It's Italian really although it appears as its own language, the same as Sicilian has its own language but still Italian is in there as it is in Neopolitan. I give an overall answer which is Italian. I don't really get into specifics on dialect. But thanks for your reply.

I imagine when Elvis recorded It's Now or Never he suprised himself at just how good his voice was, it took his voice to a whole new level. He had the voice of an Angel.

[@sylvialawrence4431]

My favorite will always be "Can't Help Falling In Love With You." After that, "Are You Lonesome Tonight" and "Suspicious Minds." Actually, Elvis could sing anything!!

The story about the song is very interesting. However, it shows Elvis' amazing ability to hear a song and know he could make it his own. Elvis was always involved with the way his songs were recorded. He took an active part in directing the musicians to get tempo and style perfectly. Elvis was more than a singer. He was a musical genius. He could take any song and make it his own. He was an amazing talent. Long Live the King ♥️

l know from becoming a teen in 1959 and a super Elvis fan that he did not want this song released as a single and had told Col. Parker that he was a successful R&R singer and thought it would be a crazy thing to do. One thing for sure nobody will ever top Presley's version.

Who is the guy right behind Elvis at 6:26. He looks just like Elvis except he has blonde hair. I've always believed that that was a look a like in the coffin and not Elvis. Surely I'm not the only person to see this. Now in the coffee was it Elvis or was it this look a like. I don't care if you see it or now the guy looks just like Elvis except the hair and that would be easy to fix. If you see what I see please comment with the word YES .I never thought thought it was Elvis in that coffin. Someone other than me has to see the guy

Terry Stafford could sing better . Roy Orbison could sing better. Jay BLACK could sing better too !

[@dantzmusic]

@MichaelReed-yb8zb Not sure what "singing better" means in this context, but how fortunate we are to have had them all. Perhaps it's actually 'better' or more desirable to share them than compare them. 😉
