"It's Now Or Never" #1 8/20/1960

Originally known as "O Sole Mio," this Italian song from 1907 was first done in English by Tony Martin in 1949 under the title "There's No Tomorrow." Elvis heard that version while stationed in Germany with the Army; he asked for a different translation and RCA Records made it happen. The co-composer and producer here, Aaron Schroeder, eventually wrote a total of 17 songs for the King, including five #1's.
