“Lover Doll” is a song recorded by Elvis Presley for the soundtrack of his 1958 movie “King Creole.” The film is a musical drama set in New Orleans and is based on the novel “A Stone for Danny Fisher” by Harold Robbins. In “King Creole,” Elvis Presley plays the role of Danny Fisher, a young man who gets involved with a gangster.
“Lover Doll” is a ballad that showcases Elvis’s vocal talents. It’s a romantic and melodic song that was written by Sid Wayne and Abner Silver. The song’s lyrics talk about a special lover doll that holds sentimental value. Like many of Elvis’s songs, it captures the essence of young love and longing.
The song was included in the movie’s soundtrack and was also released as a single in the UK, but it didn’t achieve the same level of commercial success as some of Elvis’s other hits. Nonetheless, it remains a part of Elvis’s musical legacy and is appreciated by fans of his work.
