<b>Elvis Presley</b> is one of the most celebrated and influential musicians of the 20th century. He was born on January 8, 1935 in East Tupelo, Mississippi, USA and sadly passed away on August 16, 1977 in Memphis, Tennessee at the age of 42.Commercially successful in many genres such as rock 'n' roll, pop and gospel, Elvis is recognized as the best-selling solo artist in recorded music history with over a billion units sold worldwide. Throughout his career, he won three Grammys and received the prestigious Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award at just 36 years old.

Sixth soundtrack album by Elvis, released by RCA Victor in mono and stereo, LPM/LSP 2697, in April 1963. It is the soundtrack to the 1963 film of the same name starring Presley. Recording sessions took place at Radio Recorders in Hollywood on August 30 and September 22, 1962. It peaked at number four on the Billboard Top Pop Albums chart. Initially booked for August 28 and 29, sessions were delayed as Presley had taken ill, and only two numbers were completed satisfactorily on the first night of August 30.

Ten songs were tackled for the soundtrack, the standouts being two written by one of Presley's favorite songwriters, Don Robertson (who took an active part in the sessions by playing keyboards), and one by Otis Blackwell and Winfield Scott, the team that had written the #2 hit single "Return to Sender" the previous year. "One Broken Heart for Sale" and "They Remind Me Too Much of You" would be released ahead of time on January 29 as a single to promote both the album and the film. "Broken Heart" just missed the top ten, peaking at number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100, with the b-side charting independently at number 53. It became a gold record. Truncated with a verse excised to a very short length of 1:35, "One Broken Heart For Sale" was the first RCA single of Presley's career that did not make the top five, excluding "Shake Rattle and Roll" which did not chart at all after being released on August 31, 1956, simultaneously with Presley's debut album divided up into six singles.
