Song information
The song was recorded on May 6, 1960, at RCA Victor's Hollywood studios for Elvis Presley's 1960 film G.I. Blues.
In the film version Juliet Prowse (who lip-synched to Loulie Jean Norman's voice) can be seen singing along with Presley in a cable car in the small German tourist-town Rüdesheim am Rhein.[1][2][3]
In the 1996 movie Jerry Maguire, director Cameron Crowe used an alternate version of "Pocketful of Rainbows", slightly faster than the original one used in G.I. Blues.
A remix by Spankox was released as a single in 2011 and reached No. 32 on the Dutch Single Top 100.[4]
