When My Blue Moon Turns to Gold Again,  was originally recorded by Wiley Walker and Gene Sullivan  way back in 1941, Elvis recorded the song in 1956, and strange as it may seem the song was never released as a single, but owes it chart position to the EP sales of the record of the same name which reached number 24 in the singles chart with a 15 week stay.

(47)  Wild In The Country

Wild In the Country was from the film of the same name, the film was produced by Twentieth Century Fox and released in 1961, All the songs for the movie were written by Ben Wiseman and Fred Wise. The movie was Elvis� seventh and co-starred Tuesday Weld, Hope Lange and John Ireland. A little known fact is that the movie was originally released  without Elvis singing but done so badly at the box office that it was recalled soon after release and had songs added to it, thereby condemning Elvis for the rest of his film career to a series of frivolous musicals as he was never again offered a serious acting part. Reached number 26 in the charts, 5 week stay.

(46)  Blue Suede Shoes

 Blue Suede Shoes was written by Carl Perkins in late 1955, Perkins said that he was playing at a dance when he spotted a boy wearing blue suede shoes dancing with a girl, the boy said �don�t step on my blue suede shoes�
Perkins couldn�t get the image out of his mind, he awoke at three in the morning and jotted down the lyrics. Blue Suede Shoes only reached a disappointing 24 in the singles chart for Elvis with a 12 week stay.
