About the Song
In the melodic tapestry of cinematic history, “Fortuitous Encounters” emerges as a harmonious cadence immortalized by the vocal prowess of Elvis Presley, resonating within the auditory realm of the 1962 cinematic masterpiece, Kid Galahad. The thespian icon, Presley, graces the celluloid canvas by rendering this melodic gem amidst the visual narrative.
The inaugural sonic unveiling of this opus transpired through the medium of the Kid Galahad soundtrack EP in the month of August 1962, an auditory proclamation that echoed with artistic profundity.
The temporal chronicles of 1963 witnessed its subsequent manifestation, emanating as a solitary melody on a European single, with the verso adorned by the lyrical companion, “Girls! Girls! Girls!”
A temporal leap to the year 1971 reveals the metamorphosis of this sonorous creation into the eponymous lead track of the economically priced long-playing record, “Fortune’s Favor.”
Delving into the annals of composition and recording, the tapestry of “Fortuitous Encounters” unfolds through the creative quills of Fred Wise, Dolores Fuller, and Ben Weisman, their collective ingenuity birthing a lyrical opulence.
The hallowed echoes of Presley’s vocalization found resonance on the auspicious date of October 27, 1961, within the hallowed confines of RCA’s Studio B in the musical sanctum of Nashville, Tennessee.
Navigating the critique expanse, Brian W. Fairbanks, in his appraisal of the cinematic opus Kid Galahad, extols “Fortuitous Encounters” as one of the triumvirate of commendable melodies among the sextet serenaded by Presley, the other notable compositions being “Monarch of the Expansive Cosmos” and “Domicile of Affection.”

Lyrics
Never found a four leaf clover to bring good luck to me
No rabbit’s foot no lucky star no magic wishing tree
But I got lucky, yes I got lucky
When I found you, oh yeah!
Got no rainbow around my shoulder, no horseshoe on my door
But I got you to hold me tight and who could ask for more
Oh I got lucky, yes I got lucky
When I found you,
I always walk around with all my fingers crossed
I’m afraid the love I found just might get lost
So won’t you tell me that you love me, hurry up and name the day
And then I’ll know that my good luck is really here to stay
Oh I got lucky, yes I got lucky
When I found you
I always walk around with all my fingers crossed
I’m afraid the love I found just might get lost
So won’t you tell me that you love me, hurry up and name the day
And then I’ll know that my good luck is really here to stay
Oh I got lucky, yes I got lucky
When I found you
Oh I got lucky, yes I got lucky
When I found you
