Rufus Thomas - Bob Dylan - Dylan Thomas? Carl Perkins wrote for Elvis Presley, but he didnt write Love Me Tender. Originally written as Aura Lee (or Aura Lea), a sentimental Civil War ballad with music by George R. Poulton and words by W.W. Fosdick, published in 1861. The song is credited to Presley and Vera Matson because of the publishing agreement reached for the assignment of royalties, but the principal writer of the re-written lyrics was Ken Darby (Matsons husband). The song was published by Elvis Presley Music. He also adapted the Civil War tune, which was in the public domain. When asked why he credited his wife as co-songwriter along with Presley, Darby responded, Because she didnt write it either. youtube/watch?v=jOlkuTBeddg
