"It's Now Or Never" was based on the Italian song "O Sole Mio" and while Elvis was based in Germany, he made a home recording while he sang Tony Martin's "There's No Tomorrow" which was also based on "O Sole Mio".

During an interview with the Memphis Press-Scimitar, Elvis said grudgingly of his new stepmother, "She seems pretty nice," then added: "I only had one mother and that's it. There'll never be another. As long as she understands that, we won't have any trouble." Of his father Elvis said, "He's all I got left in the world. I'll never go against him or stand in his way. He stood by me all these years and sacrificed things he wanted so I could have clothes and lunch money to go to school."

Elvis earned his first-degree Chito Ryu black belt in karate. From anecdotal evidence it appeared as if he got this certificate at an exhibition put on by his tutor Henry 'Hank' Slomanski in Memphis and that it was largely ceremonial. Slomanski also presented Elvis with a Chito Ryu pin.
