Information
Takes 14 and 17 were the ones that finally served to make the master of I Want You, I Need You, I Love You; a theme that managed to stay two weeks in the number three position of the Billboard Top 100. In Country charts it would reach the first position, also being number three in the Rhytm and Blues charts. This would be one of the two themes, along with Hound Dog, that Elvis would perform on July 1, 1956 on Steve Allen’s television show.
For its B-side, a song with beats very similar to That’s All Right Mama and My Baby Left Me is another composition by Arthur “Big Boy” Crudup. It was take number 9 that would reach position thirty-one on the Billboard charts for two consecutive weeks, and position number thirteen on the Country charts.
