"Heartbreak Hotel", recorded in 1956, was Elvis Presley's first Number 1 on the Billboard Pop Singles Chart and the biggest selling song of the year.
When Elvis arrived at the studio to record the song, producer Steve Sholes and other executives at RCA Victor thought it was a mistake since it sounded nothing like his earlier work. But they trusted Elvis's instincts. "Heartbreak Hotel" is ranked #45 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time and is in the Grammy Hall of Fame.
