Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) was an American sin… Read Full Bio ↴Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) was an American singer and actor. Regarded as one of the most significant cultural icons of the 20th century, he is often referred to as the "King of Rock and Roll" or simply "the King".
Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi, and relocated to Memphis, Tennessee, with his family when he was 13 years old. His music career began there in 1954, recording at Sun Records with producer Sam Phillips, who wanted to bring the sound of African American music to a wider audience. Accompanied by guitarist Scotty Moore and bassist Bill Black, Presley was a pioneer of rockabilly, an uptempo, backbeat-driven fusion of country music and rhythm and blues. In 1955, drummer D. J. Fontana joined to complete the lineup of Presley's classic quartet and RCA Victor acquired his contract in a deal arranged by Colonel Tom Parker, who would manage the singer for more than two decades. Presley's first RCA single, "Heartbreak Hotel", was released in January 1956 and became a number one hit in the United States. With a series of successful network television appearances and chart-topping records, he became the leading figure of the newly popular sound of rock and roll. His energized interpretations of songs and sexually provocative performance style, combined with a singularly potent mix of influences across color lines during a transformative era in race relations, made him enormously popular—and controversial.
In November 1956, Presley made his film debut in Love Me Tender. Drafted into military service in 1958, Presley relaunched his recording career two years later with some of his most commercially successful work. He held few concerts however, and guided by Parker, proceeded to devote much of the 1960s to making Hollywood movies and soundtrack albums, most of them critically derided. In 1968, following a seven-year break from live performances, he returned to the stage in the acclaimed television comeback special Elvis, which led to an extended Las Vegas concert residency and a string of highly profitable tours. In 1973, Presley gave the first concert by a solo artist to be broadcast around the world, Aloha from Hawaii. Years of prescription drug abuse severely compromised his health, and he died suddenly in 1977 at his Graceland estate, just 42 years of age.
Presley is one of the most celebrated and influential musicians of the 20th century. Commercially successful in many genres, including pop, country, blues, and gospel, he is the best-selling solo artist in the history of recorded music. He won three competitive Grammys, received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award at age 36, and has been inducted into multiple music halls of fame.

I Want You%2C I Need You%2C I Love You
Elvis Presley Lyrics
Hold me close, hold me tight
Make me thrill with delight
Let me know where I stand from the start
I want you, I need you, I love you
With all my heart
Every time that you're near
All my cares disappear
Darling, you're all that I'm living for
I want you, I need you, I love you
More and more
I thought I could live without romance
Until you came to me
But now I know that
I will go on loving you eternally
Won't you please be my own?
Never leave me alone
'Cause I die Every time we're apart
I want you, I need you, I love you
With all my heart
I thought I could live without romance
Until you came to me
But now I know that
I will go on loving you eternally
You please be my own?
Never leave me alone
'Cause I die Every time we're apart
I want you, I need you, I love you
With all my heart
Make me thrill with delight
Let me know where I stand from the start
I want you, I need you, I love you
With all my heart
Every time that you're near
All my cares disappear
Darling, you're all that I'm living for
I want you, I need you, I love you
I thought I could live without romance
Until you came to me
But now I know that
I will go on loving you eternally
Won't you please be my own?
Never leave me alone
'Cause I die Every time we're apart
I want you, I need you, I love you
With all my heart
I thought I could live without romance
Until you came to me
But now I know that
I will go on loving you eternally
You please be my own?
Never leave me alone
'Cause I die Every time we're apart
I want you, I need you, I love you
With all my heart

For you who will pass by here..
💝🍀💝
This song is for you.
She says everything
I want to tell you.
You are all I have.
I need You as much as You need me.
❤️❤️
I want you for myself and forever. 💝💝
I want you so much...
Do not leave me alone.
Never leave me alone.
Let me slip my hand into yours.
Tell me again: "Welcome to my life" ☀️💝☀️ 2:22
With you,
I'm no longer afraid.
With You,
I will heal quickly...
With me,
you will find calm, peace.
Both of us will become teenagers again full of joy of life, of imagination.
Every day will be a celebration
so that you never know the boredom of routine. 2:44
We will grow old together
and we will see Verona. ❤️❤️
It was “Mon message d'Amour” for this evening...🎉 The three Wise Men will be there tomorrow. ✨✨✨
They followed the lucky star.
Like me, I followed this star which led me from the Ocean to your mountains.
Is it possible ?
Such a long road
💖💖
I miss you

Thanks Elvis. Your songs are so beautiful 2:44

I grew up listening to this on an 8- track my dad had in our van. I knew all the lyrics to several Elvis songs. I still know this one. ❤❤❤

In the summer of ‘56, I was 12 yrs old. My parents went in with my aunt and uncle to rent a beach house on Lake Michigan for 2 weeks. The big Elvis song that summer was “Hound Dog”. It was on the radio all the time.
When we got home, I went to the record store to buy it, but it was sold out. Not wanting to leave empty handed, I bought this earlier Elvis hit, which became my all-time Elvis favorite!

Chet Atkins performed on several Elvis hits.
The first time Elvis worked with Chet Atkins was January 1956 at RCA's Nashville studio. Chet worked with Elvis and his band, including Bill Black and Scotty Moore, who was a big fan of Chet's, on tracks like "I Got a Woman," "Heartbreak Hotel," "Money Honey," "I'm Counting on You" and "I Was the One." He also recorded with Elvis in April, when the king cut "I Want You, I Need You, I Love You." Later in 1956, Elvis recorded the Atkins-penned tune "How's the World Treating You."
Atkins played on Elvis' studio sessions for RCA on June 10, 1958, recording "I Need Your Love Tonight," "A Big Hunk O' Love," "Ain't That Loving You Baby," "(Now and Then There's) A Fool Such as I" and "I Got Stung." For this session, Atkins assembled Nashville's "A-Team" of session musicians, including Hank "Sugarfoot" Garland on guitar, Bob Moore on bass, Buddy Harmon on drums, Floyd Cramer on piano and, of course, the Jordanaires.

Whenever I need to explain 6/8 time to a new music student I play this song for them.
