Walk a Mile in My Shoes: The Essential '70s Masters, 1995 (recorded 1970)
Written by George Harrison
From a concert in August 1970 (not the 1973 version from Aloha From Hawaii), this cover showcases the King's blend of reverence and theatricality. The ballad begins with his signature croon, starting tender and sincere, but gradually leaning into his Vegas-era drama—adding swelling strings, lush backing vocals, and a grandiose arrangement. His vocal delivery moves from soulful and intimate to full-throated passion, almost gospel-like by the climax. While it loses some of the Beatles' quiet subtlety, Elvis makes it unmistakably his own, turning the song into a sweeping declaration of love and longing.
