How many Americans know this song, sung here by E. Presley, but Frankie sang it too, is actually a French song by Gilbert Bécaud (1961)?
This video isn't the original recording of the 1961 release.

Chui pas vraiment fan de Presley, sauf que je trouve qu'il a une belle voix. Il est un peu comme Joe Dassin. Mais je préfere Dassin car au moins il chant en français et il me fait penser à la France. Et je dois avouer qu'il y a qqchose en certains chansons de Dassin qui touchent mon coeur. Pour ce qu'il y a de cette chanson "what now my love", elle me laisse vide. This is not Presley at his best. The Frenchman does a better job with this song, such as it is.
By the way.. that song, "trois petites notes de musique" is beautiful. I occasionally find myself silently singing it. I played the song on my computer out in the garden one evening for some friends and they were enchanted by both her voice and the song.
I always had much sympathy for Joe Dassin who really was very, very popular in France in the 60s and 70s.
As you know, he covered quite a number of American and English songs in French. By the way, he's buried in California.
This one I particularly like :

An American song but I couldn't find which title it bore in English and when it was written. Anyway, as a fan of him, you certainly know this particular title.

qqchose qui touche
I note that it's always the "sex, love and passion" post which continues to attract the most visitors. Ah, humans.

and you'll see there are onlookers from Vietnam, Amsterdam, Hendon (Virginia), Burlington, (North Carolina) just in the last two days...
as you say, "ah, humans" which I would turn into "Ah, men"
It overall tells a lot about frustration and suffering.
