I hate that we were taught that this song was written and first performed by Elvis in school. I wish we had more knowledgeable teachers. I never liked Elvis because the only Elvis songs I liked were covers and it's taking me ages to find the actual person who wrote the song...
Thanks for this.

I'm a huge Elvis fan but I gotta give it to Carl. Elvis had one of the most beautiful voices I've heard but didn't have the songwriting (or at least didn't attempt the songwriting) that others had. Elvis couldn't have been as big as he was without the works geniuses like Mr. Perkins and he knew it too.
