LOVE ME TENDER - COVER (SHORT CLIPS) A video taken last week with The Usual Suspects. Dodong on Keys, Charles on Bass, Boy on Drums, Razak on Sax Please excuse the video angle & sound quality (the ballroom was packed to the brim, and we didnt have any space where we could find to place the video camera in front of us) Love Me Tender is a song recorded by Elvis Presley and published by Elvis Presley Music, adapted from the tune of Aura Lee (or Aura Lea), a sentimental Civil War ballad. The words and music are credited to Ken Darby under the pseudonym Vera Matson, the name of his wife, and Elvis Presley. Ken Darby described Elvis Presleys role in the creation of the song: He adjusted the music and the lyrics to his own particular presentation. Elvis has the most terrific ear of anyone I have ever met. He does not read music, but he does not need to. All I had to do was play the song for him once, and he made it his own! He has perfect judgment of what is right for him. He exercised that judgment when he chose Love Me Tender as his theme song.
