Can’t Help Falling In Love (Peretti-Creatore-Weiss) by Elvis Presley with The Jordanaires

With a melody line based upon the popular 18th century French tune “Plaisir d’amour,” this ballad from the box office hit “Blue Hawaii” evolved as one of Elvis’ all-time fan favorites. For the flip side \"Rock-A-Hula Baby,\" listen here: https://youtu.be/9PMKAxPDIgk

(debuted late ’61) 1962 Pop Chart Peaks: Billboard 2, Music Vendor 3, Cash Box 4 - UK Peak: 1 (both sides listed together in one chart position)

*Unlike Billboard’s Top 100 & Hot 100 charts, the British record charts at this time tended to reflect unit sales rather than popularity of individual song tracks. Thus, rankings _usually_ listed both sides of a single at the same position when both titles were determined to have contributed measurably to the disc’s success (whether or not either side would have reached a similar peak on its own).

THE 1962 HITS ARCHIVE - here in one place, a good-quality library of original-release-version best-sellers and songs which made an impact that were either released or enjoyed a major chunk of their popularity within the calendar year 1962 (some were recorded in 1961).
