This was Elvis' first post-army single which was rush released by RCA in the United States. It was the first Elvis record to use the new 4 prong 'knockout centre' as the regular 'triangular centre' was phased out.
​He sang both of these songs on his recent appearance on 'The Frank Sinatra Show'. Elvis' voice had matured over the past couple of years and knew how to control the sound he was creating.
