I’ll Never Fall In Love Again – Elvis Presley

Introduction:

“I’ll Never Fall In Love Again” by Elvis Presley was included in his 1976 album From Elvis Presley Boulevard, Memphis, Tennessee, which was recorded in the famous “Jungle Room” at Graceland. This intimate space became a makeshift studio when RCA Records set up mobile recording equipment, as Elvis increasingly preferred recording at home rather than in formal studios. This session, taking place in early 1976, would be one of Presley’s final recording endeavors, marking a somber period of his career and life. His deteriorating health and personal challenges during this time are often reflected in the emotional weight of the songs recorded at Graceland, particularly in this album, which includes other deeply introspective tracks such as “Hurt” and “Solitaire.”

Originally written by Lonnie Donegan and Jimmy Currie, “I’ll Never Fall In Love Again” had previously been popularized by Tom Jones in the 1960s, but Elvis brought his own unique, heartfelt interpretation to the song. His rendition showcases a blend of regret and vulnerability, themes that resonated with his personal struggles in later years. Critics often regard this recording as an example of Elvis’s ability to convey deep emotion, even in songs not specifically written for him. The From Elvis Presley Boulevard, Memphis, Tennessee album, including “I’ll Never Fall In Love Again,” reached high spots on both the country and pop charts, underscoring the King’s continued influence despite his declining health.

This track, along with the album, stands as a testament to Elvis’s dedication to music, even in challenging times, offering fans a window into the more reflective side of his artistry and persona during the last years of his life.
