The movie and soundtrack that sealed Elvis' 1960s fate.......2007-06-20

After coming off back-to-back strong acting (and very little singing) movies in "Flaming Star" and "Wild In The Country" (but very little money at the box office), Elvis starred in "Blue Hawaii" and his acting career and soundtracks would never be the same again. The soundtrack was hugely successful by being No. 1 for more than a year. But it also doomed Elvis to a decade of corny scripts and corny songs, but big bucks in B formula movies.

The songs are fairly strong with the title track "Blue Hawaii" and "Can't Help Falling In Love" (which I had sung at my wedding!). Also, "Rock-A-Hula-Baby" is a great semi-rocker, along with the great ballads of "No More" and "Hawaiian Wedding Song".

But then you throw in the corny tunes of "Beach Boy Blues", "Slicin' Sand" and "Ito Eats", and you know the rocker of the 1950s is dead and twitching in the grave.

The vocals are solid in all the songs -- even the goofy ones -- but the success of this movie and soundtrack basically signed Elvis' death warrant in Hollywood. No more good scripts would ever find their way to Elvis' manager again -- it was all B movies from here on out and we were never able to see Elvis as a true actor, which is what he yearned to be.

takes me back.......2007-04-02

I enjoy this CD. Whenever I hear these tunes, I can see Elvis in all his Hawaiian beach boy glory. I like the extra songs at the end. You get just a snippet of Elvis being playful with the band and the producer. His voice still gives me chills.

Great album!.......2006-11-06

This album is great! From the excellent rock songs to the superb love songs. It's a definite must for any Elvis fan!

Elvis' biggest hit album!.......2006-10-08

Blue Hawaii is certainly one of Elvis' best soundtrack albums from the 60's and was his biggest hit album. It stayed at number 1 on the US album charts for a then record 20 weeks! It contains one of his signature songs "Can't Help Falling In Love" and the modest hit "Rock-A-Hula Baby". This CD release is made even better than the original by the includsion of several bonus tracks including an alternate movie version of "Can't Help Falling In Love" that I really like. This was Elvis' commercial peak!

Unfortunately the success of this album and the previous soundtrack "GI Blues" convinced Elvis' management that the way to make the quick buck was to make lighthearted comedy movies and associated soundtrack albums. From here on out the movies and soundtracks would sink in quality and sales.

I got carried away and forgot to look at the lyrics........2006-08-24

Blue Hawaii was Elvis Presley's biggest hit movie. And the Blue Hawaii soundtrack was his best selling album. Not his best album, but it is one of his better soundtracks. There are a fair amount of songs with silly lyrics like, "Ito eat like teeth are out of style" or "I'm a kissin' cousin to a ripe pineapple", but at least they have good melodies, and Elvis sings like he's having fun. And you can't go wrong with "Can't Help Falling in Love", one of the King's best ballads. The CD adds eight songs to the original album's 14, including "Steppin' Out of Line"(which is a song that was cut from the movie), and previously unreleased alternate versions of seven songs. Elvis fans should own this CD.

Customer Reviews:

Two tracks I really like.......2007-07-21

The Mission Impossible theme is performed well.
The Fireball theme is actually much improved on this version. I prefer the orchestra and the vocals over the original.

Quantity Over Quality.......2007-01-15

As a musician myself, I know too well that one of the most important ingredients in ANY performance (live or recorded) is passion. The recordings here generally lack the same passion and sheer drama of the originals. Much of the instrumentation has been reduced to a cheezy, thin, plastic synthesized replica. The performances are simply a watered-down lackluster version of the classic originals. If it were not for the sheer volume of tracks compiled here, I would have rated the comp only "one star".

Mediocre.......2006-05-17

The sound quality for this collection isn't much better than the samples offered by Amazon.

One Hundred Greatest TV Themes.......2005-08-06

I have watched almost all the shows that are on these 4 cd's. Many were made before I started watching TV. Most I've seen once or twice before.

Pretty close to original recordings.......2005-07-24

Definitely not as good as the originals. You'll probably notice the slight differences since it's stuff you saw and listened to every week or everyday in reruns growing up, but it's still an amazing collection.

THE BIGGEST AND BEST OF BILLY VAUGHN.......2007-07-28

These albums made Billy Vaughn a household word in the USA and around the world. Millions of the original LPs were sold and the songs were on the radio everywhere.
Now we have these two magnificent albums available on one CD!!! Thanks to Collector's Choice music we not only have this great CD but two other Billy Vaughn 2 on 1 collections that include more of his biggest selling albums: LOOK FOR A STAR/SWINGIN SAFARI and THEME FROM A SUMMER PLACE/ THEME FROM THE SUNDOWNERS. Wonderful instrumental music from the days when orchestras actually used instruments instead of drum machines and synthesizers to create what is now called ' an orchestra'.

Enjoy. Get this CD while it is still available as releases in today's market come and go like the rain.

Blue hawaiian, Christmas in the big Island.......2006-06-29

An unusual treasure and good to play the year round

"Mele Kalikimaka" is the thing to say on a bright Hawaiian Christmas Day........2005-12-07

This is a Christmas album by the Blue Hawaiians. The Blue Hawaiians play surf music with a Hawaiian music influence. Six of the tracks are instrumentals and four tracks are songs with vocals. The album is a lot of fun. If you are looking for a Christmas album that's a little "different", you should check it out.

I love this cd!.......2005-11-29

I love unusual Christmas music and this fits the bill. It is refreshing from the standards that get played way to much at Christmas time, yet it is very festive. It is not classic Hawaiian music at all, but it still brings the feel of the islands into your livingroom. Like someone said, stick a umbrella in your eggnog and ring in the holidays.

One Star.......2004-12-27

In a lifetime spent in the enjoyment of music, listening to this CD is the first time I've felt embarrassment for the artist.

An Abbey Road Christmas.......2004-12-21

I think this is fabulous! This old hippie thinks it's the Abbey Road of Christmas albums. Aloha.
