64 years ago, Elvis Presley recorded his hit ballad ‘Love Me Tender’ for the film of the same name. It was August 24, 1956 when Elvis met with George Poulton, Ken Darby and other producers at 20th Century Fox in Los Angeles. This was the only recording of Love Me Tender made by the King of Rock in a studio. In an interview with reporter Amy Archerd the following week, Elvis said, “People think all I can do is belt. I used to sing nothing but ballads before I went professional. I love ballads”
