The majority of songs that Elvis recorded for movie soundtrack purposes during the sixties were often no better than average and away from the movie context made little sense as stand alone songs. There were however a few exceptions with "Can't Help Falling In Love" and "Return To Sender" two which are case in point. There were also a few which were very good songs but only really worked within the plot of the movie and "The Lady Loves Me" from Viva Las Vegas is one such example.
The movie itself is nothing particularly special with a plot that you could drive a fleet of buses through but the high quality of the songs provided within the film coupled with astonishing on screen chemistry between the movie's co-stars more than make up for the plotline.
"The Lady Loves Me" showcases that chemistry between the co-stars and the song is almost in keeping with a typical MGM musical number. In this song the singers are singing about each other, almost to a third party, and this adds to the songs charm but makes it almost completely tied to the movie, meaning it only really works if you are watching the movie itself. The song was recorded by Elvis and Ann Margret in ten takes on 11 July 1963 at Radio Recorders Studio B in Hollywood and underwent a very minor edit before insertion into the movie.
In August 2018, RCA/Sony through their Elvis collectors label, Follow That Dream, released what should have been the undisputed definitive Viva Las Vegas sessions collection. As per normal for such a release, evident in other similar releases such as Fun In Acapulco and Kid Galahad, an attempt was made to remix and remaster the tracks from scratch. However, may have their doubts about the success of this venture, primarily down to the original process in which MGM made their soundtrack recordings and also because much of the studio dialogue is also missing. It is from this collection, however, that the audio for this video has been sourced.
As with all of these videos, to get the most out of the re-edited audio, I highly recommend you use ear /headphones and turn the volume up as much as you dare!

That was really beautiful. Elvis and Ann Margaret were great together. They had good chemistry. Both on and off screen. I think Elvis would of done better with someone older to begin with. Priscilla was just too young for Elvis. Ann and Elvis were on the same level. Both could sing and act too. Thus song was sooo cute and sexy at the same time. Thank you for sharing with us. A fan of Elvis for life. More than 63 years now. Long live Elvis!!

Steve Lehman Right, they had a great chemistry at that time, but I think, if they had become a couple and got married, the circumstances would be the same: Elvis constant night life, too much touring, uppers and downers, probably other women and other things. Ann Margret would have been alone far to often like Priscilla. And Ann Margret was much more confident then the younger Priscilla. Ann Margret would have left Elvis the same, probably earlier and with more vehemence, not so quite like Priscilla. Like Elvis sang it in the Frankie and Johnny movie: "What every woman lives for, is to give her love to a man!" Priscilla only had moments for that and Ann Margret would only have had that moments too. Not enough for a woman.

This is terrific. I'd only heard the film version before. You can hear them getting more comfortable with the rhythm and to and fro of the song as the takes progress

This is a great duet! I enjoyed the professional and focused rehearsal. Elvis always sings rehearsals partly mezza voce, to spare his voice. Lots of singers do. And always at the right time he gives it all. Regarding the movie: I see the chemistry between them clearly. And the way Elvis smiles in between say it all.😂

Quizás una mujer como Ann hubiera conseguido que Elvis sentara la cabeza y su matrimonio hubiera durado. Es bonito soñar con esa posibilidad ❤❤

he would have married Ann Margaret but Priscilla had something over Elvis Presley's head all of a sudden Elvis Presley got married real quick to Priscilla Presley and all of a sudden they had a baby I think Elvis Presley was really in love with Ann Margaret I've been following Elvis Presley and Priscilla Presley ever since 1950s and Elvis Presley was building his career and then Margaret was building her career I guess it just wasn't their time but I am so glad they remain friends until he died ❤❤🎉🎉TCB
