It's Now or Never - Elvis Presley - MP3 instrumental karaoke

A great song is a great song in any language, and Elvis Presley’s 1960 smash hit “It’s Now or Never” is a great example of that. The tune is based on the famous Neapolitan composition “O Sole Mio” (written by Eduardo di Capua). Elvis Presley first had the idea to record his own English version of the song after hearing “There’s No Tomorrow” by Tony Martin, also based on the same melody. The song was adapted into the English language by Wally Gold and Aaron Schroeder. It was recorded by producer Bill Porter and ended up being one of Elvis Presley’s biggest-selling singles. “It’s Now or Never” entered the US Billboard Hot 100 chart at Number 44, then it climbed steadily until it reached the top, where it stayed for a five-week period. It was also a hit in Great Britain, where it also peaked at Number 1 on the UK Singles Chart. Soul singer Barry White credited this song as a life-changing inspiration that set him on a path to become a singer himself.
