Album Notes & Community Reviews

The soundtrack to Elvis Presley's film of the same name, 'Blue Hawaii' was recorded at Radio Recorders in Hollywood under producer Steve Sholes. Built around romantic balladry and Hawaiian-inflected pop, including the single 'Can't Help Falling in Love', it is a definitive snapshot of Presley's early-1960s film-soundtrack period.
