Love me tender - Elvis Presley (Perf. Adolfo Amaro)

“Love Me Tender“ is a 1956 ballad song recorded by Elvis Presley and published by “Elvis Presley Music“ from the 20th Century Fox film of the same name. Lyrics are credited to “Vera Matson“ (though the actual lyricist was her husband, Ken Darby). The melody is identical to the sentimental Civil War ballad “Aura Lea“ (sometimes spelled “Aura Lee“) and therefore credited to Aura Lea’s composer, the Englishman George R. Poulton. The RCA Victor recording by Elvis Presley was No.1 on both the Billboard and Cashbox charts in 1956.
