It doesn't help the Presley brand when people are seduced into buying product because of the 'Greatest Hits' or 'Ultimate Collection' styling, only to find that Suspicious Minds, If I Can Dream and In The Ghetto are supplanted by obsolete public domain fodder like Poor Boy, My Wish Came True and I Slipped, I Stumbled, I Fell.

What is wrong with Poor Boy???? He should have performed this in the Aloha Special!..

'Poor Boy' was one of the very rare occasions where we were able to see the real 50's Elvis movements on film. 'Let Me' and 'We're Gonna Move'were another two. I often put 'Love Me Tender' the movie on and skip to these three songs as they always blow me away. However, I agree to put such tracks on a 'Greatest Hits' compilation would be misleading.

Hi Jerome, you know you're right - Poor Boy in the Aloha broadcast would have been a winner, particularly with one of those Hawaiian Tourist Board videos that Early Morning Rain and Hawaiian Wedding Song got.
