I Can’t Help Fallin’ In Love With You [UB40 / Elvis Presley]

From the vault … Nov. 9th, 2010

One of the most succesful reggae bands of all time, the group UB40, is barely known here in the states, save the sparse charting cover song spead out over three decades. Despite a vast musical catalog, all three of their U.K. number one hits and four of their five U.S. top ten hits were cover songs.

However UB40 does have a unique place in the annals of music history. UB40’s cover of “I Can’t Help Fallin’ In Love With You” is the only cover to chart higher than the Elvis version. Also worth noting is they have the most soulful sounding ginger for a lead singer outside of Rick Astley.

And now you know the rest of the story.
