Top 10 Elvis Presley Songs You Probably Never Heard

1 My Wish Came True - Simple, evocative little gem from the back-end of the 1950s

2 Help Me - Best version for me is the one on the live album "Elvis as recorded Live In Memphis" from Elvis's hometown performance on March 20, 1974

3 For The Good Times - Simple, smooth and polished performance from the King. I recommend the version from the afternoon matinee show at Madison Square Garden released by BMG on "Elvis: An Afternoon In The Garden". Check out the recently revealed filmed outtake from Elvis On Tour to see how much Elvis enjoyed singing the song live.

4 Rags To Riches - Dramatic arrangement and powerful vocal, Elvis clearly enjoying himself in the studio.

5 A Little Bit Of Green - One of my all-time favourites hidden away on "Elvis: Back In Memphis" originally.

6 Where Did They Go Lord - Gospel powerhouse - Elvis is definitely into the song, just feel the force

7 Padre - Pop Gospel I guess is how one might describe this track. Little known outside of Elvis fan circles but indispensable nonetheless.

8 Heart Of Rome - Great pop song, infectious little gem from the Love Letters album in 1971

9 Love Me Tonight - 1960s love song, used as album filler on the Fun In Acapulco soundtrack album originally.

10 Stranger In The Crowd - Great cut from 1970. Performed live during Elvis' August 1970 engagement in Vegas (filmed for That's The Way It Is). Great professional quality film exists of Elvis in rehearsal and on stage delivering this song.
