"Stuck on You" wasElvis Presley's first hit single after his two-year stint in theUS Army, reaching number one in 1960 in the US.
He recorded the song during March 1960, and the single was released within weeks and went to number one on theBillboard Hot 100 chart in late-April 1960, becoming his first number-one single of the 1960s and thirteenth overall. "Stuck on You" also peaked at number six on the R&B chart.[4] The song knocked Percy Faith's "Theme from A Summer Place" from the top spot, ending its nine-week run at number one on the chart. The record reached number three in the UK.
The song was written byAaron Schroeder andJ. Leslie McFarland and published by Gladys Music, Elvis Presley's publishing company. The single had a special picture sleeve with the RCA Victor logo and catalog number on the top right corner and included, in large letters, "ELVIS" in red on the top right. On the bottom left appeared the statement: "Elvis' 1st new recording for his 50,000,000 fans all over the world," in reference to his previous hits compilation50,000,000 Elvis Fans Can't Be Wrong. The U.S. picture sleeve had photos of Elvis on the left top corner and the lower right corner. The New Zealand sleeve did not have the photographs on the corners but had the "45 R.P.M." designation on the top right corner.[5]
