Ben Weisman's place in the pantheon of great American songwriters will never be duplicated or surpassed. Weisman has the rare honor of being listed in the musical history books as the NUMBER ONE Elvis Presley songwriter of all time.  

​

The King recorded FIFTY SEVEN of Ben Weisman's compositions during a fifteen year run of massive worldwide hits.   Weisman was a genius capable of fashioning songs that fit Elvis like a glove across a wide span of musical genres

​

Weisman, "My friendship with Elvis developed during the studio sessions in Hollywood, to which I was always invited to attend. Since they copied my demos note-for-note, Elvis liked to have me around in case there were any problems.

He had a great sense of humor, and used to call me the 'Mad Professor'. He made the sessions fun.  I really loved him, he was a wonderful man"
