A major reason for Elvis Presley’s massive, unprecedented appeal to women audiences of all ages was his love songs. Always a true romantic, Elvis recorded many, many love songs throughout his career, beginning with “I Want You I Need You I Love You” in 1956 and running the entire span of his life. Entire eras of his remarkable life and career can be evoked by the mere mention of the title of one of his many love songs. Mention “Love Me Tender” and a hundred images spring to mind. The same can be said for his many other songs of romance. Elvis and his love songs had remained an unexplored area of Elvis’ remarkable career. Now, “Love Me Tender - The Love Songs of Elvis” tells the warm story of the tender side of the King of Rock and Roll. Narrated by Ashley Judd, “Love Me Tender” is Elvis as you’ve never seen him.
A reminder from presenting station WKNO, on behalf of Elvis Presley Enterprises and the producers of Love Me Tender - the Love Songs of Elvis, He Touched Me: The Gospel Music of Elvis Presley and Elvis Lives: The 25th Anniversary Concert. Elvis impersonators do not represent the life and legacy of Elvis Presley as protected and preserved by Elvis Presley Enterprises and his family. It is important that stations refrain from using impersonators in the studio or on-air during live pledge breaks during Love Me Tender -- The Love Songs of Elvis or any of the Elvis pledge programs.
