Though it was originally released to capitalize on the cinematic vehicle of the same name, fewer than half of the songs on Loving You were actually included in the film. Not that anyone cared, of course; this collection of hits ("Teddy Bear"), covers ("Blueberry Hill," "Mean Woman Blues"), and lesser-known treasures ("Party," "I Need You So") topped the charts for 10 weeks running in 1957. This is hardly the best example of the King's pre-Army work--and it often seems downright flimsy compared with his Sun releases and 1956 RCA sessions--but Loving You is still a thoroughly enjoyable document of Presley in his exuberant prime. --Dan Epstein

Customer Reviews:

Some people like to rock. Some people like to roll. But movin' and a groovin' gonna satisfy my soul........2006-08-18

This is the soundtrack to Elvis' second movie. Only seven different songs were recorded for the movie. So the soundtrack also includes other songs recorded at the same sessions. Like almost everything Elvis recorded in the 1950s, this is great stuff. Classic songs like "Teddy Bear", "Loving You" and "Mean Woman Blues". Sure, there are a few not-that-great songs like "Hot Dog", but Elvis' energy and enthusiasm makes up for whatever deficiencies the songs have. Highly recommended to fans of the King.

Got a Lot O' Dancin' to Do!.......2004-06-17

More than half of the songs on this album didn't appear in the movie. This is great album! I heard "Mean Woman Blues" by Roy Orbison first and I liked it a lot but when I heard his...wow. Really hot rockabilly! Few fast rockers are featured here ("Party" is Wanda Jackson's first hit and it will remain a classic, "Hot Dog" and "Got a Lot O' Livin' to Do!") and nice ballads ("Lonesome Cowboy", "Loving You", "Don't Leave Me Now", "Have I Told You Lately That I Love You?", "Is It So Strange"). Very nice rock 'n' roll!

"I will spend my whole life through...loving you.".......2002-10-20

The best example of Elvis' pre-Army Hollywood recordings. Watch the movie first, then listen to this explosive soundtrack. Good thing RCA again re-issued old albums and added more tracks to them. The original #1 gold album had 12 (not long enough), and now the re-issue has 20 (better!). "Mean Woman Blues" gets the soundtrack started. One that one, Elvis really pours it all on. If you love Elvis, I highly recommend it. If your a fan of his movies and the music in it, it is definetly essential.
