Elvis Presley version

The earliest and easily most prominent recording of Have I Told You Lately That I Love You in the early Rock era was the one by Elvis Presley. According to the book of the CD-boxset "Elvis - The Complete 50's Masters" Presley cut his recording of it on Jan. 19, 1957 at RCA's Radio Recorders in Hollywood for inclusion on his Loving You album. Session musicians for the song included himself on rhythm guitar, his usual lead guitarist Scotty Moore, with Bill Black on bass, D.J. Fontana on drums, piano by Dudley Brooks, organ by Hoyt Hawkins, and background vocals were of course The Jordanaires. When the song was included on the Loving You album release in July 1957 it precipitated both Ricky Nelson and Eddie Cochran to rush to immediately record cover versions of the song. Nelson's was the "b" side of a hit single ("Be Bop Baby") released Sept. 16, 1957, while Cochran's (recorded in Aug. '57) was an album cut (released Nov. 1957). The impact of the Elvis version was felt across the Atlantic.
