The track was released on August 20, 1955, making Elvis 20-years-old, and quickly went to the top of the country and western charts.

Elvis first single to get to the top of the Billboard Hot 100, the chart which goes across genres, was Heartbreak Hotel, which was released on January 27, 1956 - making Elvis 21-years-old.
The song was written by high school teacher Mae Boren Axton and singer-songwriter Tommy Durden and is based on a newspaper article which described the suicide of a man who jumped from a hotel window.
