735 Elvis Presley (1935-1977) “Viva Las Vegas” 1964

The songs written for the film Viva Las Vegas “were a miserable lot, with few exceptions; Elvis’s pell-mell filming schedule was mking it virtually impossible for his publishing companies to live up to their obligations…One of the few exceptions with Viva Las Vegas was Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman’s title cut, a shimmering appraisal of the neon-lit city…which curiously only became a classic decades after its original release” (Ernst Jorgensen, Elvis Presley A Life in Music, 1998).
