This CD is one of the most complete collection of Elvis ballads and loves songs available. While there have been other CDs made of his ballads, these are among his best! I like "A Fool Such As I," "The Wonder of You," and "Pocketful of rainbows." As other reviewers stated, the only out of place track is "Old Shep" (about a boy and his dog) which though very sad, just doesn't belong here. Still, I'd recommend this ballad CD because the collection is so complete. You could amass many other separate CDs and still not have all the great tracks recorded in one place here. It is a double CD - double the songs for the money. This a a perfect CD to give as a gift to that "certain someone" in your life. Enjoy !
I give this 5 stars !

Elvis Presley is known as "The King" because no one can sing a song like he can. Whether it is an upbeat rock-n-roll song or a smoothe love song. This CD has many love songs we've all heard before, but also quite a few that are not on the CD's that have been released since his death. If you are in a car while listening to this 2 disc set, you'll wish the ride lasts a little longer just to hear all the songs. Two of my favorite's that you don't hear as often as some of the standard Elvis love songs are, "You Don't Know Me" and Let It Be Me". If you are a big Elvis fan or just as casual one, you'll enjoy this 2 disc set.

50 classic Elvis love songs on 2 remastered CDs. It must have looked great on paper. It's a collection that will appeal to the Elvis completist, the casual fan and to those who are suckers for a great romantic ballad. And since it contains songs of finding love as well as losing it, it should be able to touch all the bases. The title after all is "Greatest Love Songs" so this is the cream of the crop, right? Hmm...not if you ask me. I admit it comes close but not close enough. RCA has the ability to put all of the essentials and leave off the songs that don't work as well, so why don't they? This package does not include "It's Midnight", "I'm Leaving", "Hurt", "I Really Don't Want To Know" or "Loving Arms". But it has "Old Shep". A song about a dog. Whatever.
