From the lner notes:
When Elvis first entered a recording studio in 1953, it was to record two love ballads for his mother, "My Happiness" and "That's When Your Heartaches Begin"'. The second and third times were to record ballads too. During his formative years, the great pop stylists of the 40s and early 50s influenced Elvis. He made no secret of his admiration for Dean Martin, the Ink Spots, Patti Page and Kay Starr. In 1956, even as the controversy about his Rock 'n' Roll gyrating raged around him, Elvis sang ballads like "Love Me Tender" alongside "Heartbreak Hotel" and "Hound Dog". Early in his career he once commented to a reporter, "I can't do ballads nearly as well as I can do the other kind, because I don't have the voice for it". However, the Elvis love song soon became a cornerstone of popular music's most enduring career. In 1992, the Estate of Elvis Presley was presented with 111 gold and platinum disc upgrades by the RIAA, the largest amount ever awarded to a single artist or group. Many of these are for his greatest ballads and the songs an this album provide a befitting testament to the greatest popular recording artist of all time.
