"Love Me Tender" tops poll

Love Me Tender has been voted the best Elvis song of all time, beating Heartbreak Hotel and Jailhouse Rock. Fans were asked to vote for the King's finest record on the eve of the 50th anniversary of his first single.
Despite only reaching no 11 in the charts when it was released in 1956, Love Me Tender topped the poll. Heartbreak Hotel was second and Suspicious Minds third.
Fourth was A Little Less Conversation, which made no impact when released in the 1960s but went straight to number one in 2002 after it was remixed and featured in a Nike advert. Jailhouse Rock was in fifth place, Always On My Mind was sixth and The Wonder of You seventh.More than 3,000 people took part in the internet poll conducted by Woolworths.
