It is common for older adults to request an Elvis song or two during a music therapy session. As Elvis Week began on August 9th I asked friends on Facebook and Twitter for their favorite Elvis songs. Here’s a list from their suggestions;
- “Love Me Tender“
- “All Shook Up“
- “Return to Sender“
- “Fools Rush In“
- “Blue Suede Shoes“
- “Jailhouse Rock“
- “Blue Hawaii“
- “Blue Christmas“
- “Hound Dog“
- “Heartbreak Hotel“
- “Blueberry Hill”
Gather up the family or a group of friends and have a great time singing and imitating Elvis. Do you have a favorite Elvis song you like to sing? Share it in the comments below.

for uptempo you can’t beat “Burning Love,” for quiet reflection I love his Gospel music and of course, for a lovely romantic moment I adore, “Can’t help falling in love with you.”
Cheers! MJ
Thank you MJ for your thoughts. Another upbeat song people know is “Viva Las Vegas”.
