The story behind the song
Stuck on You was released on March 23, 1960, just weeks after Elvis’s honorable discharge from the U.S. Army.
Written by Aaron Schroeder and J. Leslie McFarland, it was specifically chosen to prove to the world that “The King” hadn’t lost his magic while away in uniform. RCA Victor was so confident in its success that they printed over 1.4 million custom picture sleeves proclaiming it as “Elvis’ 1st new recording for his 50,000,000 fans all over the world” before the song was even recorded!
