According to the book of the CD - boxset `` Elvis - The Complete 50 's Masters '', Presley recorded it on January 19, 1957, at RCA 's Radio Recorders in Hollywood for his Loving You album. Session musicians for the song included Presley himself on rhythm guitar, his usual lead guitarist Scotty Moore, with Bill Black on bass, D.J. Fontana on drums, piano by Dudley Brooks, organ by Hoyt Hawkins, and background vocals were of course The Jordanaires. When the song was included on the Loving You album release in July 1957, it immediately prompted both Ricky Nelson and Eddie Cochran to record cover versions of the song. Nelson 's was the `` B '' side of a hit single ( `` Be-Bop Baby '', released in September ), while Cochran 's was an album cut ( released in November ). The impact of the Elvis version was felt across the Atlantic.
