Am I ready, can my heart be true?
Am I ready, to fall in love with you

One love, one girl,one dream shared by two
Am I ready, to fall in love with you

I have touched your lips,and now I know
I would be a fool, to let you go

Should I, could I, how I wish I knew
Am I ready, to fall in love with you

Should I, could I, how I wish I knew
Am I ready, to fall in love with you

Fall in love...with..you...

In the 60s Elvis voice was outstanding for romantic ballads and this pretty recording proofs it once more. The song has a close and personal feeling to it, but is not remarkable as a few pretty movie ballads were released each year. Three stars from me.

The outtakes are a delight to hear...

I very much like the song, but yes, it sounds like about 5 other pretty movie ballads. I do, however, like how upfront Elvis' voice is on this track. It really shows how flawlessly he sang. I mean, you can hear every breath; you can practically hear his lips moving! Honestly, it is probably bad production, but I appreciate that a few of the soundtrack ballads ("Please Don't Stop Loving Me" is another one) are so up-close and personal. Truly a voice that transcended the material.

Nice but they all sounded the same at this point. Where was the innovation? Oh yeah, a look at the song writers says it all.

The California Holiday album is hardly a classic Presley release save for the outstanding bonus tracks, All that I am and this simple ballad. The problem was by this time nearly all Elvis' film ballads began to sound alike.

I have always found the backing a little OTT on this but it does not detract too much from what is a lovely song, beautifully delivered by our man.

Interchangeable with so many other movie ballads. Nothing outstanding.

A pleasant but unmemorable ballad.

One of two strong ballads from Elvis 22nd movie "Spinout" (the other being "All That I Am"). This one is sung with a touch of vulnerability and Elvis is in fine voice. A three star song given five star treatment by Elvis for a total of four stars.

Pretty ballad...Elvis always sang these kind of songs well.
