Elvis sung it for Priscilla, while he was running around on her (and for some reason people think he is in heaven bc he sang a few gospel songs; that doesn't qualify). That is why Elvis' version is so heartfelt; it is not theoretical. It was sadly true. A great artist; a very poor role model, albeit passionate and gifted.
seems our comments should be about this song done by Brenda Lee, not fighting over other artists as to how good they are, or aren't. I love this version. RIP Brenda
Elvis' version is great, no question about that - simply because its ELVIS ! the King!
but for female, original or not, I love all Brenda's song - its because, she's Brenda Lee the one and only Brenda Lee! Thanks for liking her song folks
@1002anna - Really? Biggest selling recording artist in history (1.5 billion and counting) says you're wrong.
Also a qote from RS's Encyclopedia of Rock: "His (Elvis') legacy is not just his own incredible body of work - it's the entire music industry as we know it today"
@AlaCarcuss do you really believe that?? how dumb can one be. for example, Beatles is said to have sold 1 billion records, but the truth is 245 million. record companies are liers
Hi desert3347. love this song and love the singer , but in todays downloads 1 million is nothing , check out Shakira's' Waka Waka' ( This Time For Africa ) at 424 million hits and Miley Sirus Party in the U S A 260 million hits. i.m not saying that those songs are better than this just trying to put it in perspective for you . wish this track also had 400 million hits because its as good if not better than others , fingers crossed.
@TheNigelc8 Yea Nigelc8, I see that Adele has Millions of Hits. I have noticed that many of the 50 & 60's Music have very few people watching/listening. I attribute it to Age. So many of us Baby Boomers, like myself, are dying & HUGE groups like the "Four Seasons", even "Rolling Stones" have minimum hits on their Biggest selling songs. Generation X is in control now. You've made a good point.
Skomentuję wszystkie Jej piosenki:cudowne,jak cała nasza młodość.Z każdą piosenką związane jakieś wspomnienia,nastrój,przeżycia.Dobrze,że się jeszcze o Niej pamięta.!!!
usually if the original isn't a big hit, then it's forgotten about it but this song went on to be covered over and over and made into hits by differant artist.
I GREW UP LISTENING TO BRENDA LEE SWEET VOICE. HIGH SCHOOL SOCIALS,A QUICK FEEL THAT LASTED ALL SUMMER LONG, SLOW DANCING TO FLOYD CRAMER S' "LAST DATE". THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES, BRENDA,
Since She started to sing like me and that continues today and will remain for me and many others, the only one. YESTERDAY, TODAY AND FOREVER IN MY MIND WILL BRENDA LEE. BRENDA ES INCOMPARABLE EN TODAS SUS CANCIONES.
Brenda Lee is always on my mind when I hear this song. If I made her feel second best, I'm sorry I was blind. She is always on my mind. She is always on my mind.
I've never heard this original recording until now. Its nice but I think it works better (lyrically) as a song sung by a male artist. The Willie Nelson version, in my opinion, is still the best as he just gives it far more depth than Elvis (regardless of his talent) did.
"Always on My Mind" is an American country music song by Johnny Christopher, Mark James and Wayne Carson Thompson originally recorded by Brenda Lee.
Allmusic lists over 300 recorded releases of the song in versions by dozens of performers.[1] The most successful US version was performed by Willie Nelson.
@SokSa Well, she was the first to record it, but it actually BELONGS to Johnny Christopher, Mark James and Wayne Carson - they WROTE it and still hold the rights.
But yeah, she is the original artist that Willie, Elvis & PSB covered...
@empath69 I stand corrected. what I meant was that she is the original "singer" and owns in that sense, not the songwriter. thank you for setting it straight empath69
aaah!...Brenda Lee....on of the greatest artists of all time. A great country singer, a singer in the ealry Rock and Roll, immortalized in a Chuck Berrry Song. She was popular in the UK before the US and actually once toured the UK with the Beatles as her opening act-that's how big she was and always will be.
I came here via Willie's version. I don't think one has to declare for one or the other. It's a very powerful song and each rendition offers a rich experience.
Estimated friend, if you want to listen again this song and an endless number of successes of the love I suggest you to visit Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS - looks for his direction URL in Google ( search Musica para Mimos in Google)-. best romantic music of all the times in Internet, is great, is very good ...!!!
Ask anyone in the "know" and they'll swear Willie wrote this one. I heard Elvis' version and now, Brenda's-- they stink compared to Willie's. Who the hell can truthfully wash away their prejudices and stick to believing Elvis and Brenda can touch Willie. I'm NOT a country fan, but I know good renditions when I hear it-- Willie wins hands down. Write what you want-- but you're wrong, wrong, wrong and no amount of bull---- will change that. Look at the stats on Willies sales of the song! Yea
@zaputzaput1 Don't you think all these great artists wanted their audiences to appreciate the writers of the songs they performed? I don't think great singers want to be compared to each other. That misses the point of what they're singing about.
@KuyaTino Pet Shop Boys' version is the most popular version in Europe. It was a 87 Christmas number one smash it and PSB's most successful single in their catalogue. It is one of their creative anthems in their cannon, and it was chosen as the second best cover of all times by UK Telegraph. Ask one of every two people on the street "what is always on my mind?" and they will say one of PSB's best songs.
@harisbaki Mate, you have to be kidding. While I love PSB's version (and Willie's and Brenda's) I think you'll find almost everyone on the planet associates this song with Elvis. One of the (many) Elvis versions on this site has almost 30 Million Hits!! So many in fact they had to disable the comments due to overload - that should tell you something.
@AlaCarcuss Don't be that sure. Until PSB covered this song, many young lads were unaware that Elvis performed it. This is not popular one of songs by him. As to why 30 million hits: American singers or singers who are popular in the USA always get the highest hits. It is directly proportional with population. Look at Justin Bieber look at J. Lo disgusting singers but reach 100 million hits because you Americans love those untalented singers very much.
@AlaCarcuss Are you suffering from dysplexia? Who said Elvis was untalented? I just said the number of views does not matter because America's population is huge and whenever an idiot becomes number one in USA, his Youtube videos are automatically watched ten million etc. I just meant that a high number of views does not automatically warrant that what is viewed is of high quality. So you are Australian you are a native speaker of English but you still have problems.
@harisbaki (continued from the last message) So you are Australian you are a native speaker of English but you still have problems in understanding. In Europe PSB version is more popular than Elvis version that's a fact. As to Brenda or Willie version, a handful of people should know this song was also performed by them.
@AlaCarcuss no, actually most people that I know of that have ever heard Always on my mind, the associate it with PSB. Period. I fucking love music, I know tons of weird obscure facts, and I didn't even know that this wasn't the PSB's original song. I didn't know Elvis sang it, and I'm a fan of his. So no, not almost everyone on the planet associates this with Elvis. There are nearly 7,000,000,000 people on this planet. Most of them know this song from PSB.
Whilst this (Brenda Lee) is the original singers version, clearly the Willie Nelson version with a US no. 1 outshines the others for it's tenderness and emotiveness. The flat, commercial Elvis version (only) rated no. 16 by comparison. Everyone do themselves a favour and check out Willie's performance "The Highwaymen - Willie Nelson - Always On My Mind" while Johnny Cash, Waylon & Kris look on.
My friend Wayne Carson wrote this song way back in the seventies, and I thought it was a great song, and still do. Wayne got a real shot in the arm when Elvis and Willie recorded this. Brenda has a good cut too.
TRUE!!! it´s really what happens!!!! you were and are and will on my mind!!This is one of my musicas when I felt in love with you!!!!It´s so beautiful and lovely!!!!

I really like her voice, but I don't like her version of this song (my favorite version is Willie Nelson's). She makes it sound too much like a happy song.
Brenda dear dear BRENDA how wonderful to hear your beautiful voice you were such an inspiration to me when I was younger I was about the same age as you however I had been singing from the age of six when you came on the scene. I know it sounds as though I am writing to Brenda and I am also to the wonderful EBK who uploaded this and allowed many people maybe who never experienced the velvet voice of Brenda Lee as she was only fourteen I believe when she cut her first record. GOD BLESS YOU. Hugs
Au contraire!! Brenda's release was before Elvis BUT it was NOT the first released 45 of this song. Gwen McCrae released this in Jan. 1972, several months before Brenda's 45. Not to hijack thread but I've uploaded Gwen's version.
Ahora que se cumple un año de la partida al cielo de mi padre escuchar esta cancion es evocarlo sentado en su sillon favorito de su casa escuchando musica de antaño que nos agradaba a los dos;no me resigno a su ausencia y lo tengo siempre presente en mis pensamientos.
Maybe it's the influence of Elvis and Willie Nelson's more famous recordings of the songs, but I've always heard this as a song sung by a man to a woman. To hear Brenda Lee's version as the *original*, with a woman singing it to a man, is a revelation.
Wouldn't it have been wonderful if Elvis had lived beyond the controlling Colonel and stayed healthy. What a great duet this could have been. Even better than Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers!
All of us have our favourite singers.
Brenda Lee
Shirley Bassey
Ann Murray
Patsy Cline

Brenda Lee really could sing in different styles and did it quite successfully. I love this version of the song.

Whilst this (Brenda Lee) is the original singers version, clearly the Willie Nelson version with a US no. 1 outshines the others for it's tenderness and emotiveness. The flat, commercial Elvis version (only) rated no. 16 by comparison. Everyone do themselves a favour and check out Willie's performance "The Highwaymen - Willie Nelson - Always On My Mind" while Johnny Cash, Waylon & Kris look on.
The haunting guitar solo is exquisite.

Patty Page, Mary Ford, better pitch. Sarah Brightman, Sarah Vaughn, better singers.
Still, I prefer Brenda.

My friend Wayne Carson wrote this song way back in the seventies, and I thought it was a great song, and still do. Wayne got a real shot in the arm when Elvis and Willie recorded this. Brenda has a good cut too.

I really like her voice, but I don't like her version of this song (my favorite version is Willie Nelson's). She makes it sound too much like a happy song.

Brenda dear dear BRENDA how wonderful to hear your beautiful voice you were such an inspiration to me when I was younger I was about the same age as you however I had been singing from the age of six when you came on the scene. I know it sounds as though I am writing to Brenda and I am also to the wonderful EBK who uploaded this and allowed many people maybe who never experienced the velvet voice of Brenda Lee as she was only fourteen I believe when she cut her first record. GOD BLESS YOU. Hugs

Au contraire!! Brenda's release was before Elvis BUT it was NOT the first released 45 of this song. Gwen McCrae released this in Jan. 1972, several months before Brenda's 45. Not to hijack thread but I've uploaded Gwen's version.
Brenda's version really is a nice tune.

Ahora que se cumple un año de la partida al cielo de mi padre escuchar esta cancion es evocarlo sentado en su sillon favorito de su casa escuchando musica de antaño que nos agradaba a los dos;no me resigno a su ausencia y lo tengo siempre presente en mis pensamientos.

Maybe it's the influence of Elvis and Willie Nelson's more famous recordings of the songs, but I've always heard this as a song sung by a man to a woman. To hear Brenda Lee's version as the *original*, with a woman singing it to a man, is a revelation.

Wouldn't it have been wonderful if Elvis had lived beyond the controlling Colonel and stayed healthy. What a great duet this could have been. Even better than Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers!

Tho' Brenda Lee recorded this a few weeks before Elvis. I thought Mark James,
Johnny Christopher and Wayne Carson wrote this for Elvis. The last time I checked, Willie Nelson had the biggest hit on this song. Thank you.
