Elvis Mesmerizes with “There Ain’t Nothing Like a Song” from Speedway (1968)

“There Ain’t Nothing Like A Song” is a song performed by Elvis Presley and Nancy Sinatra in 1968. The song was featured in the musical film “Speedway”, which starred both Elvis and Nancy. The song was written by composer Ben Weisman and lyricist Sid Wayne.

In the film, Elvis played a race car driver named Steve Grayson, while Nancy played IRS agent Susan Jacks. The two characters are initially at odds with each other, but eventually fall in love. “There Ain’t Nothing Like A Song” is a duet that they perform towards the end of the film, as they race around the track in Grayson’s car.

The song is an upbeat, rock and roll tune with a catchy melody and lyrics that celebrate the power of music to bring people together. The song was well-received by audiences and helped to make “Speedway” a box office success.

Today, “There Ain’t Nothing Like A Song” remains a beloved classic of Elvis’s filmography and a testament to his enduring talent as both a singer and an actor.
