Can't Help Falling in Love "Can't Help Falling in Love" is a pop ballad based on "Plaisir d'amour", an 18th-century song which is sung by Montgomery Clift in the 1949 film "The Heiress" starring Clift and Olivia de Havilland, with a musical score provided by Aaron Copland. The pop ballad was originally recorded by American singer Elvis Presley and published by Gladys Music, Presley's publishing company. It was written by Hugo Peretti, Luigi Creatore, and George David Weiss.[2] (The melody is based on "Plaisir d'amour",[4] a popular romance composed in 1784 by Jean-Paul-Égide Martini). "Can't Help Falling in Love" was featured in Presley's 1961 film, Blue Hawaii. During the following four decades, it was recorded by numerous other artists, including Tom Smothers, Swedish pop group A-Teens, and the British reggae group UB40, whose 1993 version topped the U.S. and UK charts.
