The 1784 Song That Became Elvis "Can't Help Falling in Love"

You know "Can't Help Falling in Love" by Elvis Presley from 1961. But this melody is actually from 1784 - a French love song called "Plaisir d'Amour" (The Pleasure of Love).
Here's my solo guitar arrangement of the original version that inspired one of Elvis' most iconic songs, 177 years before he ever sang it.
Original melody: Jean-Paul-Egide Martini (1784)
Later adapted as: "Can't Help Falling in Love" (1961)
