The one song we are sure you have thought about singing to your loved ones is "Can't Help Falling In Love" by Elvis Presley. The song was first featured in the 1961 Elvis movie Blue Hawaii. The song was written by songwriter Geroge Weiss who said both the singer and the producer of the movie liked the song demo. Still, Elvis gave a green signal to the song's recording. Weiss, the songwriter, was also a bandleader in World War II.
This song became the most popular song of Elvis Presley and one of the best love songs of all time. The soundtrack hit the US #1 chart in the fall of 1961 and remained there for about 20 weeks. This particular record was not even broken until 1977 by Fleetwood Mac's landmark album Rumors. The song expresses the feeling of being drawn to someone, even when both the logic and the reasoning aren't allowing you to do it. The song has touched the hearts of the generations, and over time, it has become a staple song for the couple's first dance after the wedding. Also, the song has been sung by many different artists worldwide, and it has become a timeless classic as it has aged like a fine wine.
The song has remained at the top charts over different decades; for example, in 1993, the song was covered by UB40 with a reggae beat, and this version got into the #1 position in various US charts. Similarly, Christina Germmie performed Can't Help Falling In Love on May 19, 2014, in the finale of The Voice, and her version reached #74 on the Hot 100.
