Song information edit
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]
