abstract
  • %22A Big Hunk o' Love%22 is a song written by Aaron Schroeder and Sid Wyche, aka Sid Jaxon. The latter is best known for writing the jazz standard %22Okay, Alright, You Win%22, whereas Aaron Schroeder co-wrote a whole bunch of hits from the rock`n`roll area, from %22Fools Hall of Fame%22 (Pat Boone) to %22Because They're Young%22 (Duane Eddy). In an interview conducted by Jan-Erik Kjeseth, he also revealed that in fact he worked with his partner Wally Gold in order to improve a song submitted by another writer, and the end result was %22It's My Party%22, a big hit for Lesley Gore. Schroeder and Gold tossed a coin as to whose name should go on the record, and Gold %22won%22. Other titles written by the duo include %22It's Now or Never%22 and %22Good Luck Charm%22; both of which - like %22A Big Hunk o' Love%22 - were originally recorded by American rock and roll icon Elvis Presley. %22A Big Hunk o'Love%22 was released as a single on June 23, 1959 by RCA Victor and later topped the Billboard Hot 100 for two weeks.The song was revived by Presley in 1972 during his engagements at the Las Vegas Hilton in February 1972 and was used in his live shows until mid-1973. It was performed live for the last time on January 26, 1974. The song is included in the 1972 documentary Elvis On Tour and his 1973 show broadcast via satellite, Aloha from Hawaii. During this time period, it was played by the Elvis' TCB Band, and featured Glen D. Hardin and James Burton.
