On April 3, 1960, Presley laid down "It's Now or Never" during a late-night session that ran from 7:30 p.m. to midnight. The recording was produced by Steve Sholes with assistance from Chet Atkins, engineered by Bill Porter and backed by the Jordanaires. But it wasn't the technical setup that made this session legendary. It was the song's unlikely origin story and the sheer determination Presley brought to the microphone.
The session itself was intense. Presley insisted on nailing the song's dramatic vocal climax in a single take without any splicing. Co-writer Schroeder later recalled that Elvis "wanted everything to be right, almost to the point of having tears in his eyes because he felt himself to be struggling to get the result that he envisioned."
