Of all the fun, upbeat love songs, Elvis Presley had his way of making them unforgettable. “I Need Your Love Tonight” carries energy, excitement, and charm allover. It is one of those tracks you want to dance to and sing along with, regardless of its age.
“I Need Your Love Tonight” was released in 1958 during a break in Elvis’s military service. Written by Sid Wayne and Bix Reichner, it’s a fast, catchy rock and roll song about young love and the feeling of needing someone close. The lyrics are playful and fun, with lines like “Oh gee, the way you kiss, sweetie, too good to miss!” Elvis recorded it with his usual spark, and the guitar solo by Hank Garland adds even more power to the track. The song was released as a double A-side with the slower song “Now and Then There’s a Fool Such as I.”
