#1 Song of the Week

This week lets listen to the King of RockNRoll, Elvis Presley from 1958 and his 10th #1 single "Hard Headed Woman". This was from the soundtrack to his movie "King Creole" All of the songs for the soundtrack were recorded in January of that year and when this one hit number one the week of July 21st, Elvis was in Ft Hood, Texas for Army basic training. "Hard Headed Woman" spent 2 weeks at #1. This would be the last we would see Elvis at the top for a year when a song he recorded while on furlough,"Big Hunk O'Love", would top the charts.
I couldnt find a performance of this song but here is montage of photos with the song


and here is the trailer for "King Creole" probably one his best movies and Elvis' favorite of all his films.
