"Nothing affected me until I heard Elvis. Without Elvis, there would be no Beatles.” -John Lennon

The older I get the more I love Elvis.

Paul McCartney was recently asked, if he was stranded on an deserted island and he could have only one song that he could listen to, he chose Heartbreak Hotel by Elvis Presley.

I think there is no one who says "baby" sexier than King Elvis

Happy heavenly 89th birthday to the King of Rock and Roll, Mr. Elvis Aaron Presley!

I'm an unborn fetus and I love Elvis.

New Elvis fan here 26 years old. Gosh I don’t know what he’s doing to my head but lately I have been listening to him like non stop

First time listening to the King.

“Leave me alone to die” -Lilo

Nani- "Lilo! Open the door Lilo!" Lilo- "Leave me alone to die."

One of the greatest vocals ever laid down. There are many stories out there from famous people who were around when this first hit the UK, it stopped people in their tracks and literally changed the world. Elvis had just turned 21 when he recorded it. It still sounds just as amazing 68 years later. Incredible.

The piano parts in this song are genius level insane. Just incredible

Can we just talk how good this song is and not about how or when we got here.

"OPEN THE DOOR LILO!!!" Lol Edit: Lilo: Go awayyy... Nani : Lilo! We don't have time for this!

How low can your voice go and still sounds remarkable and not flat? E. P. : Yessss

Right there I knew I had to play guitar. 🤘🏻

I'm a velociraptor and I love Elvis.

Well, since my baby left me Well, I found a new place to dwell Well, it's down at the end of Lonely Street At Heartbreak Hotel Where I'll be--where I get so lonely, baby Well, I'm so lonely I get so lonely, I could die Although it's always crowded You still can find some room For broken-hearted lovers To cry there in the gloom And be so, where they'll be so lonely, baby Well, they're so lonely They'll be so lonely, they could die Well, the bellhop's tears keep flowin' And the desk clerk's dressed in black Well, they've been so long on Lonely Street Well, they'll never, they'll never get back And they'll be so, where they'll be so lonely, baby Well, they're so lonely They'll be so lonely, they could die Well now, if your baby leaves you And you have a sad tale to tell Just take a walk down Lonely Street To Heartbreak Hotel And you will be, you will be, you will be lonely, baby You'll be so lonely You'll be so lonely, you could die Well, though it's always crowded You still can find some room For broken-hearted lovers To cry there in the gloom And they'll be so, they'll be so lonely, baby They'll be so lonely They'll be so lonely, they could die

On this day in Music - 27 Jan 1956 Elvis Presley's single, 'Heartbreak Hotel' was released by RCA Records, who had just purchased Presley's contract from Sun Records for $35,000. The song sold 300,000 copies in its first week and would eventually sell over a million, becoming Elvis' first Gold record.

There is nothing that has ever sounded like this... It's a masterpiece

Nani: "OPEN THE DOOR LILO?" Lilo: "leave me alone to die" The best movie ❤️❤️

[Verse 1] Well, since my baby left me Well, I found a new place to dwell Well, it's down at the end of lonely street At Heartbreak Hotel [Chorus] You make me so lonely baby Well, I'm so lonely I get so lonely I could die [Verse 2] Although it's always crowded You still can find some room For broken hearted lovers To cry away their gloom And be so [Chorus] You make me so lonely baby Well, I'm so lonely I get so lonely I could die [Verse 3] Now the bellhop's tears keep flowing The desk clerk's dressed in black Well they've been so long on lonely street They'll never look back [Chorus] You make me so lonely baby Well, I'm so lonely I get so lonely I could die [Verse 4] Well now, if your baby leaves you And you got a tale to tell Just take a walk down lonely street To Heartbreak Hotel

I CANT Believe that Elvis Presley has been gone 45 years

This very unique among Elvis songs. He never did anything like it before or after. Probly he was true take on Jazz rock

Elvis Presley could sing any song that is why he's the king

I'm 15 years old and the first time I heard Elvis Presley's music was back in year 6 when my teacher played us "The wonder of you" and from that day forward Elvis has been my go to musician to listen to if I've had a rough day.

Mr. Elvis The 👑 Aaron Presley 🎵🎼🎶🎤🎸💪👊😎

Imagine what his dm’s would’ve looked like 👀

This is such a special song. Elvis was innovative with this record. It was written by 2 people who made a demo for an artist to sing it but no one saw potential in that song. Elvis was the only one who loved the record and who knew what he wanted to do with it. He recorded it and they said it sounded totally different from the Demo version. Everyone at the label told Elvis to not put that song out because it was too different from the typical rock and roll sound of the Era but Elvis insisted that this song would change rock and roll. Now it's one of the most famous rock songs and it inspired most of the artists who followed. Paul McCartney always said this song made him become a musician. This is the proof that elvis was amongst the pioneers of rock and roll and was ahead of his time

The king was also the king of expression. He was smart enough to realise that, of course.

Why do I ALWAYS get chills listening to his songs?

I'm 34. grew up in the "ghetto" and grew up with rap and r&b, which is fine and all but elvis has captivated me since I was a older toddler in 1993. my parents thought I was weird but I think I saw a TV show or documentary when I was a kid. actually, it might have been my grandfather playing Heartbreak Hotel but for whatever reason I organically loved Elvis as a young kid a couple decades almost after he passed. Nothing is more beautiful then finding something different than what is around you and loving it on your own without it being pushed on you

It's a really scary sounding song in many ways. I can't even imagine what is was like to hear this for the first time back in 1956

Growing up with him he was something of a mystery since Parker didn't let him out much. But his talent and spirit could not be contained. I miss him my youth the world that was and will never be again.

King rock Elvis Presley

Leave me alone to die :( *turns volume up * *lip syncs the song*

Lilo and Stitch: Nani realizes she is locked out of the house. Nani: “Lilo! Open the door, Lilo!! Lilo proceeds to turn up this song and mouth the words perfectly.

The greatest intercontinental champion of alllllll time

The sexiest song ever.... Elvis, you really are the King Rest in peace, you angel

IN the 50's no one came close to Elvis, all his 50's tunes blew me away

his voice is unbelievable, amazing

Elvis is absolutely the King of Rock. Please share his music with todays youth. His music can never die. Truly the King!!!

During our 3rd grade program, I was singing solo #2 for “Blue Christmas” which is one of the Elvis Presley songs. I only sang “But I’ll have a blue,blue blue blue christmas ” That was last year in December 4th

Elvis Presley is the only name in music that matters... Everyone else is secondary. I miss Elvis.

The true king of rock and roll

That bass is deeper than my depression that Elvis' music is currently curing.

"Before Elvis there was nothing"-John Lennon

That early rock ‘n’ roll from 1955 to 1958 has a timeless quality. That’s why it still feels so young and immortal, never growing old, never dating. Elvis, Bill Haley, Buddy Holly, Eddie Cochran, The Everly Brothers ... God bless them all.

when you listen to perfection in music, you are in complete awe and joy floods your very soul.

Elvis Presley open up the music industry for everbody.

RIP and long live The King of Rock and Roll Elvis Presley (January 8, 1935 - August 16, 1977), aged 42 You will always be remembered as a legend.

Without this song there would have been NO Beatles !

Can't believe this legend left this world 45 years ago today.

Thank God for Elvis.

""Singing from Heart❤️ ~ he’s not dead ~ he’s singing and playing somewhere in the sky ..."

Being in my 20s in the 70s was a lot better than being in 70s in the 20s

If it wasn't for Elvis There wouldn't be any rock an roll he was the greatest singer a live by c h !

“Without a song the day would never end without a song a man ain’t got a friend without a song the road would never bend so I keep singing a song”-elvis💗

"This record changed my life, and it changed the face of music. My mum bought a record every week, and she said: ‘I heard this record in the store, and I’ve never heard anything like it, so I had to buy it.’ She put it on, and it changed my life and propelled me into my love of rock and roll. It was like, ‘Wow, what’s this?’ Like something from Mars… It changed the world, socially and musically.” Elton John

Love for Elvis Presley from India❤️

Elvis great memories of my love and miss you

There's only one King's birthday I celebrate in January. Elvis.

Born and raised on Elvis, I may be only 14 but that's 14 years of Elvis!

I’ve been an Elvis Presley fan for a long time, since the fifties. When I listen to this song now, I think that this song is basically the story of his life. RIP Elvis and thanks for the music and the performances.

I’m 60 years old and I’m from Switzerland (Lucerne), I’ve been listening to Elvis since I was 10 years old, I watched Elvis' live concert in Hawaii in 1973. I appreciate many kinds of good music, I also know all the songs of Johnny Cash and June Carter (Great) and other great artists. However, Elvis remains the greatest musician and entertainer of all time, but in all his songs, all the power of his soul comes out. One could also say that he gave his whole heart to his listeners. This way is definitely unique and I think it will remain so. Denis Herger

ELVIS.P 2023 IS ALIVE!!

The first #1 hit for Elvis. Written by Mae Axton, her son Hoyt would write one of the biggest hits of the 70s for Three Dog Night, in 1971 - Joy to the World

Elvis would have completely broken the internet.

Elvis. Man. Elvis.

THE KING ! I WAS 9 Y/O, IN THAT SPRING /SUMMER, OF '56, WHEN HE EXPLODED ON THE SCENE, WITH THIS CLASSIC . EVERYONE WAS SINGING ALONG. I SURE WAS . NOTHING WAS EVER THE SAME, AGAIN. ----------------MJL, 76 Y/O

Heartbreak Hotel (my interpretation of this exact version after detailed examination): Well, since my baby left me, Well, I found a new place to dwell. Well, it's down at the end of Lonely Street At Heartbreak Hotel, Where I'll be-- I'll be getting so lonely, baby. Well, I'm so lonely. I'll be so lonely, I could die. Although it's always crowded, You still can find some room For broken-hearted lovers To cry there in the gloom And be so-- they get so lonely, baby. Well, they get so lonely. Oh, they're so lonely, they could die. Now, the bellhop's tears keep flowin', And the desk clerk's dressed in black. Well, they've been so long on Lonely Street, They'll never, they'll never look back, And they get so, and they get so lonely, baby. Well, they're so lonely. Well, they're so lonely, they could die. Well now, if your baby leaves ya, And you've gotta tale to tell, Well, just take a walk down Lonely Street To Heartbreak Hotel, Where you will be-- you could be getting so lonely, baby, Where you will be lonely. You'll be so lonely, you could die. Oh, although it's always crowded, You still can find some room For broken-hearted lovers To cry there in the gloom, And they'll get so-- and they'll be getting so lonely, baby. Well, they're so lonely. They'll be so lonely, they could die.

On this day in 1956 {May 25th} Elvis Presley performed in concert at the Fox Theatre in Detroit, Michigan... At the time his "Heartbreak Hotel" was at #1 on Billboard's Top 100 chart, Best Sellers in Store chart, and Most Played by Jockeys chart... In addition he had four more records on the Top 100; "I Want You, I Need You, I Love You" {at #19}, "My Baby Left Me" {at #34}, "I Was The One" {at #67}, and "Blue Suede Shoes" {at #68}... And on Billboard's all three country charts, Best Sellers, Most Played in Juke Boxes, Most Played by Jockeys, it was in the #1 position... Plus on Billboard's Best Selling R&B Records in Stores chart it was at #7... Across the pond, it was at #14 on the United Kingdom's Official Top 30 Singles chart...

Really really really really really really really really good Elvis song one of my favourites

Elvis...definitely love this trailer and Austin Butler, loved him in Once Upon A Time in Hollywood and yeah he may not look like the King down to a tee. But he sure moves like him and can definitely song. A damn good biopic and it helps that you have Tom Hanks as the Colonel.

I am 81 years old and Elvis is still the best.

There will never be a song released in 2020 that sounds like this.

Started as a a fan of Nirvana and Pink Floyd, both of whom were big fans of the Beatles Then I got really into The Beatles, who were huge fans of Elvis Now I'm here, listening to the King for the first time! I just wanted to mark the moment before I started!

I like how stark and simple the instrumentation is for this song. Mostly it's just Elvis and his voice.

The best of the 50s

Thank you Thank very much.

I find elvis when I was 8 years old and he became my favorite singer and this was the first song I played thanks to lilo and stitch

One of the most important moments in the history of music.

Cool song.. Elton John's book got me to look it up and I'm glad I did 😊

This man is not ordinary I swear. He is extraordinary.

If the 1950s were a song, this would be it

I'm into hardcore heavy metal like SlipKnot, Dethklok, Slayer, Anthrax, Metallica and yet I still love the classics like Johnny Cash and the esteemed Mr. Presley

I'm listening to Elvis in Korea.
