ELVIS PRESLEY "harum scarum" cd/vinyl 1965.
from his nineteenth movie.
for some reason it was re-titled "harum holiday" in the uK and Europe???
made a whopping USD $4M at the box-office, so a huge profitable movie at the time and Presley took home his usual USD$1M fee for his appearance, making him still the highest paid actor in Hollywood.
album reached top 10 Stateside and #11 in the UK.
movie based on the old 1930's Rudolph Valentino flick "the Sheik".
this is the sort of movie and soundtrack that really does deserve its bad rap, both are abysmal IMO.
song titles like "shake that tamborine", "desert serenade", "go east young man" sum it up perfectly.
the only redeeming feature about the movie is the on screen presence of the cute Mary Ann Mobley IMO.
I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM
have to post a track so here goes:
"BTO....Bachman,Turner,Overweight
They were big in the 70s....for five minutes,on a Saturday,after lunch..." - Me 2014.
