Hi! I'm making high degree musical studies at ESMUC, Barcelona, Spain. I'm doing a work about the authory of Aura Lee, not necessary against Elvis, but trying to refresh to the audience that this tune has another origin different from the movie Love me Tender (ugh!) and trying to break the effect of the marketing and "unsportive" attitude of the director and Elvis, whom get the rights like if they were the authors. I don't like brain washing...If someone can help me anyway i'll thank u a lot!
Tom, it happened also to "Plaisir d'amour" . It is funny because this song , to me one of the best interpretaton is Nana Mouskuri's , is generally attributed to Martini, but it looks like he was just one of the composers/musicians that made it popular....
Had to sing this and love me tender, difficult song to sing!

Great sad love tune. Frances Farmer sang it in COME AND GET IT decades before Elvis sang it as LOVE ME TENDER.

The song dates back to 1861, almost a full century before The King sang it.
