Elvis scored his first million seller and the biggest hit of 1956 with "Heartbreak Hotel." The song is based on a man's suicide. Apparently, the poor soul jumped out a hotel window after his woman left him. The song spent seven weeks at #1 on the pop charts and also hit #1 on the Country charts. Both Keith Richards and George Harrison credit "Heartbreak Hotel" with motivating their entry into rock n roll.
