Originally "Can't Help Falling In Love" was a number one smash for Elvis Presley in February / March 1962. The melody is based on "Plaisir D'Amour", a popular French love song composed in 1784 by Jean-Paul-Égide Martini. UB 40's cover version, released on May 10, 1993, was the one of the biggest hits in that year globally and the biggest success for the British reggae band. "(I Can't Help) Falling In Love With You" reached the number one position in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, the Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Austria, and New Zealand. On the Year-End Chart 1993 it ranked at no.2 with 10,353,000 points.
