Elvis Presley started 1967 with the release of "Indescribably Blue" / "Fools Fall In Love". The single hit the stores on January 10th, Billboard listed it for the first time on January 28th at number 77 of their "Hot 100". During its stay of eight weeks "Indescribably Blue" peaked at number 33. In Canada, Australia and Great Britain the record entered the top20. In total the single sold a million units, which can be translated to 150 million paid streams. So the new year didn't start with a commercial comeback, compared to the period between 1956 and 1962 the sales had fallen by 70%. Nowadays it isn't all that different since both tracks accumulate around a million streams each on Spotify.

For the third time in a row RCA Victor used one of the "Spinout" promo shots for the cover. Of course the label also didn't forget tho advertise the coming gospel album "How Great Thou Art".

On the streaming platforms the single isn't available. But "Indescribably Blue" can be heared on the album "Elvis' Gold Records - Volume 4" (1968) and "Fools Fall In Love" is featured on CAMDEN's "I Got Lucky" release (1971).

Because Elvis fell ill on June 10, 1966 he stayed in his hotel suite while the band recorded a music track. Two days later he put his voice on the tape and needed two takes. The ballad was written by Darrell Glenn and recorded by the king at RCA Studio B in Nashville/Tennessee. In the song the narrator was left by his lady and expresses his pain in big voiced and somewhat turgid style. Even though Elvis made a timing mistake on the thrid line I like "Indescribably Blue" very much. The king uses his voice to the full extent and sings with a lot of emotion.

The uptempo song was written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller and was released for the first time in 1956 by The Drifters. Elvis recorded "Fools Fall In Love" on May 28, 1966 within five takes. It's a boisterous performance and pure joy to hear. The singer claims that only fools fall in love and latterly he's one of them.
