Love me tender, love me sweet, never let me go. You have made my life complete, and I love you so.
Love me tender, love me true, all my dreams fulfilled. For my darlin’ I love you, and I always will.
Love me tender, love me long, take me to your heart. For it’s there that I belong, and we’ll never part.
Love me tender, love me dear, tell me you are mine. I’ll be yours through all the years, till the end of time.

Following is silent footage of Elvis visiting with George Klein September 1956. In radio station booth.
Elvis Presley talks with Ed Sullivan. Elvis Presley on the Ed Sullivan Show.
Although at first Ed Sullivan said he would never want Elvis on his show, Sullivan changed his mind when The Steve Allen Show with Elvis as a guest had about twice as many viewers as Sullivan’s show that night (they were competing for the same audience since they were in the same time slot). After negotiating with Elvis’ manager, Ed Sullivan paid Elvis the huge sum of $50,000 for appearing on three of his shows: September 9, 1956, October 28, 1956, and then on January 6, 1957.
Elvis’ first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show was a major success. Over 60 million people, both young and old, watched the show and many people believe it helped bridge the generation gap for Elvis’ acceptance into the mainstream. Elvis performed’, Don’t Be Cruel’, Love Me Tender’, Ready Teddy and ‘Hound Dog’.
