Elvis Presley released Heartbreak Hotel in January 1956.  The song hit number one on the Billboard Top 100 and stayed there for 7 weeks.  The crossover hit stayed at number one for seventeen weeks on the Country & Western charts. The song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1995. Many have covered the song, including a duet by Willie Nelson and Leon Russel. 

Why the talk about heartbreaks during the most wonderful time of the year?
