Can't Help Falling in Love
Elvis Presley
1962
Annual listening-list association, not an original-release-date field. Original release year reconciled with reviewed recording-specific Artist Essentials evidence in v3.6.

V3.6 reconciles the original release year with the reviewed Artist Essentials entry for this exact retained recording ID. Year precision is used; an album-first release is not silently replaced by a later single, reissue or annual-list year. The original recording appeared on Blue Hawaii in 1961 before the single later that year. Its retained 1962 annual appearance does not make it a 1962 recording release.
The large badge identifies this listening list, not a newly issued recording. Later reissues and renewed chart popularity do not replace an original release date. How years are assigned.

About Elvis Presley
Song-specific inspiration or recording background is not established for this entry. This sourced artist profile provides career context.
Elvis Presley's early records brought country, blues, gospel, R&B and pop into a new rock-and-roll setting during the 1950s. His singing and physical stage style helped carry that mixture to a large audience. His career also moved through film work, ballad singing and later concert performances, so the familiar early rock records represent only one part of his repertoire. Gospel and quieter vocal interpretations continued alongside the more rhythmic material associated with his breakthrough.
