"La Paloma" - 4 variations (Elvis Presley + 3)


A Latin tango melody written in 1863 by Sebastian Yradier, now in the public domain. Like many good melodies, it has been borrowed a lot. Some examples from the 1950s and 60s:

1) La Paloma - Trio Los Panchos, traditional Spanish vocal. Successful Latin American recording artists in the mid 20th C, they backed Eydie Gorme on two Spanish albums.
2) La Paloma - Billy Vaughn orchestra, 1958 #20 pop instrumental, adapted to the rock+roll era.
3) The Look - Dean Martin. Original words by Bob Russell. A 1956 nonhit single, and on his LP "This Is Dean Martin".
4) No More - Elvis Presley in a great adaptation by Don Robertson and Hal Blair for the 1961 movie Blue Hawaii.
