The King returned to the top in April 1962, succeeding his future leading lady Shelley Fabares at #1. However, this single represented a turning point in the career of one Elvis Aron Presley. Co-writer Aaron Schroeder refused to sign over the publishing rights to Col. Parker, as virtually all the other composers of Elvis's songs had done. It wound up in court, and the pipeline of tunes pretty much dried up from those songwriters. The resulting overall quality of his catalog went way downhill and Elvis wouldn't have another #1 until "Suspicious Minds" in 1969.
