"I Want You, I Need You, I Love You" is a popular song written by Maurice Mysels and Ira Kosloff, and most famously performed by Elvis Presley.
In April 1956, RCA Victor producer Steve Sholes was looking for a strong single to follow up Elvis Presley's colossal hit "Heartbreak Hotel". Due to Elvis's busy touring schedule, Sholes needed to get him into the studio as soon as possible. Elvis and his band chartered a small prop plane to Nashville for one day of recording between shows.
En route from Amarillo, the plane developed engine trouble and fell through the sky several times. Upon arrival in Nashville on April 14, Elvis and the band were shaken up. Elvis arrived at RCA Studios with no ideas for the recording session and therefore had no choice but to take Sholes' suggestions, one of which was "I Want You, I Need You, I Love You".
