Answer: Love Me Tender

The melody for "Love Me Tender" was based on the 1861 song "Aura Lee", which was originally written by George R. Poulton with words by W.W. Fosdick. Elvis performed it on the "Ed Sullivan Show" on the 9th of September, 1956, a month before it was released as a single (and before the movie came out).

Written by Tommy Durden and Mae Boren Axton, "Heartbreak Hotel" was released as a single on the 27th of January, 1956. The album of the same name was Elvis' first number one album and also became his first million-selling album.

Answer: Return to Sender

"Return to Sender" was a 1962 release hit for Elvis, written by Otis Blackwell and Winfield Scott. He also performed the song in the 1962 film "Girls! Girls! Girls!" In 1993, the US Postal Service issued a commemorative stamp featuring Elvis, partly in honor of this song, but mostly (of course) in honor of Elvis' impact on the world of rock and roll.

Answer: Suspicious Minds

"Suspicious Minds" was written by Mark James. James recorded it himself first in 1968, but it didn't make it big until it was recorded by Elvis the following year. Unfortunately, "Suspicious Minds" would end up being the last number one release for Elvis before his death.
