Additional comments and sources

In 1968, Presley recorded a 52-second track entitled "Violet (Flower of N.Y.U.)" for the soundtrack of the film The Trouble with Girls. Unreleased until after Presley's death, the song was Presley's second adaptation of "Aura Lee".

"Violet (Flower of NYU)" (Steven Dueker and Peter Lohstroh) – The second adaptation in Presley's career of the American Civil War song "Aura Lee" from 1861, the first being the song "Love Me Tender".

What might be holding up verification is the fact the album of first release shown here "Eternal Elvis" is an "unofficial release". I believe the first official commercial release was on https://www.discogs.com/Elvis-Presley-Live-A-Little-Love-A-Little-The-Trouble-Wi…


Also, the correct title of the track is Violet (Flower of N.Y.U.)

23skidoo is right. We don't add bootlegged material. This very short song first saw official release in 1995.

It has now been added.

Thanks... Smile
