Elvis Presley – We’ll Be Together

Introduction:

“We’ll Be Together” is a lesser-known song by the legendary Elvis Presley, often referred to as the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll. The track was recorded and released in 1962 as part of the soundtrack for the film “Girls! Girls! Girls!”, in which Elvis starred. The song is a tender ballad that showcases Presley’s versatile vocal ability, as he effortlessly shifts from his signature rock and roll style to a more soft, romantic tone. While not as widely recognized as some of his biggest hits, the song is a testament to his ability to convey emotion through melody and lyrics.

Belonging to the pop and rock genre with a notable influence from traditional ballads, “We’ll Be Together” is a love song with a straightforward, heartfelt message. It reflects Elvis’s softer musical side, focusing on the themes of love and devotion. The song, like many others from the film soundtracks of this era, did not achieve major chart success but has maintained its place as a beloved piece among Elvis fans, particularly those who appreciate his lesser-known works.

“Girls! Girls! Girls!”, the album where the song appears, was a soundtrack to one of Presley’s many musical comedies of the early 1960s. While the movie itself was a commercial success, the soundtrack album reached number three on the Billboard Top LPs chart and was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The album featured a mix of up-tempo tracks and ballads, demonstrating Elvis’s range as an artist.

Although “We’ll Be Together” was not released as a single and did not gain the widespread attention of Elvis’s other hits, it remains a noteworthy entry in his discography, illustrating his ability to connect with his audience through both lively rock songs and gentle ballads.

Oh I will never forget the first night we met
Was love I was searching for

And then I knew in that moment just what this glow meant
True love had come along

You’ll always be.
We’ll be together, and love forever
Nothing can change our destiny
