[2] Whilst Presley was the first to record "Because of Love", it was first released by English singer Billy Fury in October 1962 as a single.
[4] Earlier in 1962, Fury and Larry Parnes flew to Los Angeles to give Presley his gold and silver discs for Decca UK sales.
[7] Reviewing for Disc, Don Nicholl wrote that Fury "sings darkly for the upper half here with a very Presley-like intonation.
A slow compulsive ballad with a Latin beat in it, "Because of Love" should stir up plenty of emotions in young hearts".
The tempo is a notch above slow and the backing includes girl chorus and a multitude of strings".
