Heartbreak Hotel (live in Las Vegas 1970) - Elvis Presley - MP3 instrumental karaoke

According to Elvis Presley lore, "Heartbreak Hotel" is undoubtedly one of the late star's most iconic hits. Penned by the "Queen Mother of Nashville" Mae Boren Axton and steel guitarist and songwriter Tommy Durden, the song features a credit from Elvis Presley who famously secured his first number-one on the US Billboard Hot 100 and million-seller with "Heartbreak Hotel." This eight-bar blues tune—which was inspired by the death of a man who had killed himself by jumping from a hotel window—became a mainstay of Elvis Presley's live shows. "Heartbreak Hotel (live in Las Vegas 1970)" was recorded live from the International Hilton Hotel, where "the King" completed hundreds of shows from the late 1960s up until 1976 and captures all the rambunctious energy of Elvis Presley's notorious performances. In 1995, "Heartbreak Hotel" was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame and has been covered by countless artists over the years, including Justin Timberlake and Bob Dylan.
