Elvis recorded this song in January 1956 and it became his first # 1 and gold record. "Heartbreak hotel" is one of the greatest rock songs of all time.
It launched Elvis and everything that followed, from more gold records to movies. I learned later that Chet Atkins played guitar and Floyd Cramer the piano in this recording.
