An evening pause: His live performances of this song are wonderful, but I still prefer the original movie version from Blue Hawaii (1961) for its simplicity. The film work might be uninspiring, but the clarity of the song easily makes up for this.

I have the movie and it is a good fun movie.
For me Elvis was the greatest entertainer of all time. He covered every music genre of the time, covered most of the leading character types in film, was a great live entertainer and for the most part had a scandal free life.
I can not think of another person since then who is even close to covering all those fields.
