Introduction:
Today, Tomorrow and Forever is a timeless ballad performed by the iconic Elvis Presley. Released in 1964 as part of the soundtrack for the MGM musical film Viva Las Vegas, the song showcases Presley’s exceptional vocal range and emotional depth. The track quickly became a fan favorite, solidifying its place as one of the King of Rock and Roll’s most enduring love songs.
Crafted by the songwriting trio of Bill Giant, Bernie Baum, and Florence Kaye, the song is a departure from Presley’s earlier, more upbeat rock and roll hits. Instead, it embraces a lush, orchestral arrangement that complements the romantic and heartfelt lyrics. The production, helmed by music director George Stoll, is rich and cinematic, perfectly capturing the emotional core of the song.
While Viva Las Vegas is primarily a high-energy musical, Today, Tomorrow and Forever serves as a poignant counterpoint. The track showcases Presley’s versatility as an artist, demonstrating his ability to effortlessly transition between different genres and styles. His heartfelt delivery of the lyrics, combined with the song’s lush orchestration, creates a truly unforgettable listening experience.
Although the song didn’t achieve the same chart-topping success as some of Presley’s earlier hits, it has endured as a beloved classic. Its inclusion in the Viva Las Vegas soundtrack helped to introduce it to a wide audience, and it has since been featured in numerous compilations and reissues of Presley’s music. Today, Tomorrow and Forever remains a testament to Elvis Presley’s enduring legacy as one of the greatest vocalists and performers of all time.
