Presley was more likely to have heard a tune on the radio or jukebox, become obsessed with it, and to have worked up a novel arrangement with Scotty Moore and Bill Black. Although this gave music journalists something to write about, it was a costly procedure for Sam Phillips. Every Presley record pressed on Sun provided income for a music publisher. That income out of Phillips' pocket. By the third record Presley recorded for Sun, Phillips was determined to get at least one of his copyrights on the disk. This resulted in ''You're A Heartbreaker'', one of the weakest, least reissued tunes in the Presley/Sun archives. (HD) Name (Or.
