During the selection of material for the sessions, Presley's manager, Colonel Tom Parker, suggested "Are You Lonesome Tonight?". The favorite song of Parker's married woman, Marie Mott (who knew the song from Gene Austin's human action, since he was also managed at the time by her husband),[24] information technology was the just time he intervened in Presley's option of repertoire. Presley returned to the studio with his band, consisting of Scotty Moore, drummer D. J. Fontana, pianist Floyd Cramer, guitarist Hank Garland, bassist Bobby Moore, percussionist Buddy Harman, and the Jordanaires, on April 3.[25]

After the eight songs Parker needed for Elvis Is Back! were recorded, Presley moved on to his manager's request. At iv am on April 4, the vocalist began recording "Are You Lonesome This evening?", accompanied by acoustic guitar, drums, bass, and the fill-in grouping. He asked everyone else in the studio to leave the session, told Chet Atkins to plow the lights out, and performed the song with the spoken bridge. After the second have, Presley said to producer Steve Sholes, "Throw that tune out; I tin't do it justice". Sholes told engineer Pecker Porter to ignore Presley'south order and asked the singer to do a new accept, explaining that the Jordanaires had bumped into their microphone stand while recording in the dark. Presley performed the song again, and that take became the principal for the single.[26]
