21. UB40's 1993 version of "Can't Help Falling in Love" is the most successful remake of an Elvis hit. The reggae-tinged song went to #1 for seven weeks. Elvis' version peaked at #2 in Feb. 1962.
22. "The Wonder of You" in 1970 was the only Presley Top Ten hit recorded live at one of his Vegas shows that year.
23. His 1958 hit "One Night" was originally titled "One Night (of Sin)", but was deemed too risque.
24. Jerry Lieber and Mike Stoller wrote six of Elvis' top ten hits, more than anyone else.
25. Mac Davis was the only write of an Elvis Top Ten who went on to have his own Top Ten. He wrote two Top Tens for Elvis: "In the Ghetto" and "Don't Cry Daddy." He had Top Tens with "Baby Don't Get Hooked on Me" and "Stop and Smell the Roses."
