What song was played and sung by "Elvis" on the piano - arranged in a Minor key? It was awesome!

I saw the Elvis movie last night and I liked it a lot! There was one scene where they show Elvis alone in his hotel suite, and sitting at the piano. He played and sung one of his songs, but in a minor key, and it was so fantastic to hear it sung that way. However after the movie I forgot which song it was, and tried to find it on the Internet, and can't. I think the song was Love Me Tender. Am I right? It was either that song or Are You Lonesome Tonight, or I Can’t Help Falling in Love with You. I can’t remember which one! Thx for your help!

I believe it was "Are You Lonesome Tonight." I was wowed by it as well, makes me want to get the soundtrack.

Sadly, this version is not on either the physical or digital soundtrack. I believe this might be Austin Butler singing the song as it transitions to him singing it a Capella but I don't know since they don't have much about it. This might be the one song where when they say 'it was a mix of the two' where it makes sense and works really well. But you are right; it's 'Are you Lonesome Tonight'. He sings it earlier in the Steve Allen green room.

Just tinker with the film version, removing as much background as possible.

There are plenty of programs out there, cut, crop and enhance!
