The story behind the song

"Love Me Tender" is a ballad from the 1956 20th Century Fox film of the same name, recorded by Elvis Presley. The song adapts the melody of the Civil War ballad "Aura Lea," which was originally composed by George R. Poulton. While the lyrics are credited to "Vera Matson," they were actually written by Ken Darby, who also adapted Poulton's tune. Due to a publishing deal, Elvis Presley received co-songwriting credit.
