abstract
  • %22Heartbreak Hotel%22 is a song recorded by American singer Elvis Presley. It was released as a single on January 27, 1956, Presley's first on his new record label RCA Victor. It was written by Tommy Durden and Mae Boren Axton.A newspaper article about the suicide of a lonely man who jumped from a hotel window inspired the lyrics. Axton presented the song to Presley in November 1955 at a country music convention in Nashville. Presley agreed to record it, and did so on January 10, 1956, in a session with his band, the Blue Moon Boys, the guitarist Chet Atkins, and the pianist Floyd Cramer. %22Heartbreak Hotel%22 comprises an eight-bar blues progression, with heavy reverberation throughout the track, to imitate the character of Presley's Sun recordings.The single topped Billboard‍ '​s Top 100 chart for seven weeks, Cashbox‍ '​s pop singles chart for six weeks, was number one on the Country and Western chart for seventeen weeks and reached number three on the R&B chart, becoming Presley's first million-seller, and one of the best-selling singles of 1956. %22Heartbreak Hotel%22 achieved unheard of feats as it reached the top 5 of Country and Western, pop, and Rhythm 'n' Blues charts simultaneously. It would eventually be certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. Presley had first performed %22Heartbreak Hotel%22 during a live show in December 1955 during a tour of the Louisiana Hayride, but the song gained strong popularity after his appearance on Stage Show in March 1956. It became a staple of Presley's repertoire in live appearances, last performed by him on May 29, 1977 at the Civic Center in Baltimore, Maryland.In 1995 %22Heartbreak Hotel%22 was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame, and in 2004 Rolling Stone magazine named it one of the %22500 Greatest Songs of All Time%22. That year it was also included in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's %22500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll%22. A rock and roll standard, since its original release %22Heartbreak Hotel%22 has been covered by several rock and pop acts, including Willie Nelson and Leon Russell, who recorded a duet version that topped the Country charts in 1979.
