<no-blank> I haven't seen a correct article about this yet. Elvis' first national hit was "Heartbreak Hotel" in 1956, not "Love Me Tender" or "Jailhous Rock". He was already an established superstar by the time he put out those last two songs. Yes, he did have a few regional hits before this. The most well known of these being "It's All Right". -- Is I is, or is I aint, John V. Smith
