The song earned a second gold record for Presley, with sales in excess of 1.3 million. 3 on the Billboard Top 100 chart, and scoring No. ĭespite the heated public controversy, the single was generally well received, reaching No. On June 5, 1956, Presley performed the song on The Milton Berle Show, as well as an early version of " Hound Dog" that resulted in both overwhelmingly favorable audience reaction and outrage. At the time of its release, Presley had three songs in the Top 20: "Heartbreak Hotel/I Was the One," "My Baby Left Me", and "I Want You, I Need You, I Love You". Pre-orders of over 300,000 were the biggest ever in the history of the company. "I Want You, I Need You, I Love You" was backed with " My Baby Left Me" and was released on May 4, 1956. His cuts were so seamless, nobody at RCA Victor could tell it was not from a single take. Performing what was a very rare and generally unsuccessful procedure for the 1950s, Sholes took parts of two takes he liked (takes 14 and 17), cut and spliced them together to create a take worthy of release. He knew that with Presley's busy touring schedule it could be months before RCA Victor got him back into a studio. It had cost $1,000 to fly Presley and his band in by a private flight, and Sholes let Presley's manager, Colonel Tom Parker, know that he was unsatisfied with the work and required material urgently for a second album. He was not happy with the results of what he considered to be an unprofessional and wasted session. After 17 takes in three hours, Sholes decided Presley and the band were not able to record properly and sent them home.Īfter the session, Sholes listened to the takes again. Presley, usually a very quick study with a song, could not get the lyrics right. Take after take was ruined for one reason or another and the band was not relaxed. īeing used to later working hours, coupled with his traumatic experience during his overnight flight, the recording session was bad.
Presley arrived at the RCA Victor Studios without ideas for the recording session and therefore had no choice but to use Sholes' suggestions, one of which was "I Want You, I Need You, I Love You". Upon arrival in Nashville on the morning of April 14, all four were disconcerted. Įn route from Amarillo, the airplane developed engine trouble and fell through the sky several times. Presley and his band chartered a small propeller airplane to Nashville for one day of recording between shows. Due to Presley's busy touring schedule, Sholes needed to get him into the studio as soon as possible. RCA Victor producer Steve Sholes wanted a strong single for the next release, aware that there was not much good material available. ĭuring April 1956, Variety reported that Presley's sixth RCA Victor single, " Heartbreak Hotel", had sold one million copies. Before the creation of the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1958, there were a number of charts including Jukebox plays, Store charts, and Airplay charts the song reached number 1 on the Billboard Top Sellers in Stores chart. It was released in May 1956, becoming Presley's second number 1 single on the country music charts, and peaking at number 3 on the US Billboard Top 100 chart, an earlier version of the U.S. It is best known for being Elvis Presley's seventh single release on the RCA Victor label, produced by Steve Sholes.
