“Love Me Tender” is a song written for a film initially entitled “The Reno Brothers.” It was recorded and released by Elvis Presley in 1956 a few weeks before the movie was shown. Before the release of the single, Presley performed the song on the popular TV series “The Ed Sullivan Show,” which created early buzz and anticipation.

Advance orders reached one million and “Love Me Tender” was a gold record even before it was officially distributed. With the sales of Presley’s “Love Me Tender” single reaching enormous proportions, the film studio changed the title of the movie to match the theme song.

The music of “Love Me Tender” was adapted from an old song called “Aura Lee,” composed by George R. Poulton in the early 1860s. Ken Darby penned new lyrics to this despondent tune although credits to the lyrics were attributed to Vera Matson who is Ken Darby’s wife and Elvis Presley for his adjustments to the song to fit his style.

The “Love Me Tender” single was a certain hit, placing #1 on the Billboard list for several weeks. It was even more remarkable as “Love Me Tender” succeeded another single by Presley “Hound Dog,” which topped the charts for eleven weeks. In total, Elvis Presley stayed at #1 on the Billboard charts for sixteen weeks – a record at that time and the first time for a single artist.
