Pino Donaggio, Italian singer-songwriter, in an interview with quelliche...ilcinema, dated 26 May 2016
“

One day, I got a phone call and the guy said "Hey look what Elvis Presley has done, he's covered your masterpiece". I was all shook up, first because I was his fan, and also because I would do covers of his songs, albeit in my terrible English. Years later, I went to Graceland and saw the RIAA Award for "You don't have to say you love me" and naturally, I again felt so honoured.
