#22: Elvis Presley – Burning Love
There are some songs that have been around for such a long time that we have grown somewhat accustomed to hearing them without even knowing about their origins. Sure, we can pick up on the voice of the person singing, but aside from that, there isn’t much that helps us understand the meaning behind a certain song if we don’t look for it ourselves.
Did you know that Elvis didn’t even want to put this very famous, and successful song in his repertoire? Can you imagine if “Burning Love” was never performed and loved by the king himself? Well, now you do. Considering that he had just broken things off with his ex-wife, it makes sense why singing a song like this might be a difficult thing to do.
