This adaptation of Giovanni Martini's eighteenth-century song "Plaisir d'Amour" was given to Elvis for his movie Blue Hawaii -- hence the Hawaiian steel guitar. But this was no vacation for Presley: It took him twenty-nine takes to nail his exquisitely gentle vocals. The song became the closing number for most of his Seventies concerts.
