1972: Despite his reluctance to perform Burning Love, Elvis Presley is in the studio recording the song. Elvis has just separated from his wife Priscilla and is in no mood for a song like this one. His producer, Felton Jarvis, talks Elvis into it. Great emotional pain can sometimes coax inspiring performances, no matter the field of endeavor. That is the case here. Elvis’ Burning Love is his final Top 10 hit, soaring to #2 in October of 1972.
