  • As awesome as Elvis was and still is I think Willie Nelson did this song better.

  • This IS my 'ALL-TIME ' favorite Elvis song....I know many others have sung it ....but heyyy,,,,come on, listen to the KING ....enough said !!!!!

  • elvis version is the best

  • @kcelvisfan11

    Although most like Willies version best...I agree with you.

  • i just listened to eva's version..not one of my favorites.

  • Sorry people, but Eva Cassidy's version is the best.

  • Hats down for the greatest singer ! ...

  • But he's singing false...

  • I prefer Willie's version, but it's still a fucking masterpiece.

  • Willie the best and Elvis for sure the greatest.....Scarly

  • Most beautiful song ever sung.....I like the Elvis version best, it is lifted from "simply" C&W to being near Blues in true Elvis style.

  • @Interceptorsaurus

    I like his version too simply because I don't care for Willie's voice. Thank you and have a great Thanksgiving!

  • Willie Nelson owns this song, no-one will ever dis-own of it.

  • check out Eva Cassidy's version!

  • @NovaGreenGaia I did and I prefer Brandi Carlile's rendition over Eva's.

  • Johnny Cash are so much better, just sayin'...

  • 3:08-3:15 = Damn, that's gorgeous!

  • @infernokid1990

    Thank you! She's my daughter.  I'm sure she'll appreciate your comment!

  • seen elvis & hank snow 1955 miami FL. i was playing at the ball & chain.......at that time...just knew he would be the greatest........willie shane n.y.

  • Really great video elvis was truly inspiring

  • @hilljoe88

    Yes he was! He will always be remembered. Thanks for your comment.

  • Drugs are great!

  • Undoubtedly - the best version of the song !!! TNX !!!

  • To think this was the last song he was heard singing, sitting at his Piano in his Racket ball room, just before he went back to the house to go to bed, a few hours later, they found him and he had already passed away :( GOD BLESS YOU ELVIS A. PRESLEY

  • @carann5 Ok good. Your welcome mate!

  • It was also recorded by Ferlin Husky in the 60's and is perhaps the best version!

  • After reading some of people's comments. I admit I don't listen to Willie Nelson, Gene Vincent, Hank Williams and other peoples song. But I thought Elvisdid a good job covering this song but not the best.

  • @19GirlBad

    Maybe not the best but his version is the only one I have in my collection and I loved Elvis! Thanks so much for commenting!

  • Who would think that one of my favorite artist ever could recored the worst cover I heave ever heard.

    

  • I love this song. AND, I love me some Elvis. But this is just plain bad - no emotion, just cheese. Also, as great as Willie Nelson's version is, I'd say his is a tie for best rendition ever with that of Hank Williams, Sr. If you haven't heard him sing it, do yourself a favor, and check it out.

  • @guitarbill71

    I have heard Willie's version and although it's the most popular, I just never liked the sound of his voice.

    But I will listen to Hank William's version. Thanks Bill.

  • I love Elvis with all my heart. But my vote on this song goes to Gene Vincent.

  • Not one of E's best, but it still beats Hank Williams' version.

  • Elvis can sing the phonebook and it would be good, but he has no real feeling on this song. Willie's is best!

  • @hiredguns1

    Most people would agree with you on this one, but I never cared much for the twang and tone of Willie's voice.

  • @carann5  what is wrong with you people

  • @hiredguns1

    I agree with your first statement. I disagree with the second. I hear much pain in Elvis' voice here. Like whatever version you choose =) But there is real feeling here.

  • Go find a clip of Brandi Carlile singing it. Beautiful!

  • @thofman09 She does a nice version agreed, still think Willie Nelson is the master performer of this beautiful song.

  • Elvis made a monument to Willie with his version of this beautiful song...! As a matter of fact, it happened so that Willie is still alive, travels and sings, but the King left us....Elvis will resurect! In the Paradise on the Earth, of course!

  • @sasodcfred

    Yes I believe that. In a resurrection and a Paradise on earth. Thank you Mickey!

  • @sasodcfred

    True. Via satellite Elvis was sued. The broad cast was Via Satellite is a live concert album by Elvis Presley, released by RCA Records in February 1973. Dean Martin was said to purchase owner ship rights to RCA and later went on to pursue imporant matters of lawsuites. Dean Martins son died in a plane crash. Elvis blocked Nasa singals to broadcast and later tax deducted said mental issues but never game Bankruptcy notice. The most important thing Elvis via Satilite. Wow.

  • Is there a singer who can mess up "Blue Eyes Cryin' in the Rain"?

  • Wow, I was sure I wasn't going to like this version, being that Willie sings this so beautifully. But Elvis' is not so acoustic. I like the gospel feel in Elvis'. I like Willie, and Elvis. While Willies is simple, intimate, poignant, Elvis is full, and gospel driven. The piano and the sweet Inspirations sound awesome, add so much to the effect the King was going for.

  • One of the most upbeat versions of this song you will ever get!

    Great and awesome lead guitar work from James Burton and Elvis happens to play bass on this song as well, according to his cousin Billy Smith!

  • worst version ever.

  • @shoehornchester

    Well Clint, that's your opinion but I don't like Willie's voice so I have to say I like this version by Elvis better.

    Thanks for commenting.

  • @shoehornchester

    OK, smart arse, I don't see you superior version up here on You tube. Or maybe you can't sign or play anything at all

  • this is not the greatest version!! try shania and willie singing it!! that is the absolute breath taking moment of all!!!!!! sori elvis!! love you to tho!!!

  • @twinkuls

    I've heard Willie's version but not with Shania. I will give a listen. Thanks!

  • Hi,

    Never a fan of early Elvis Presley music but I did become to favour a few of his later 'Love Songs' and 'Country Ballads.' I had never heard Elvis sing this song until you uploaded it, and for this I truly thank you for a very professional and pleasing presentation, which I enjoy repeating. As a Willy Nelson fan, I think Elvis's rendition of this beautiful classic song is by far the best; it has become my firm favourite, being played many times. Thank you once again.

  • @laurencefurlong

    Thank you so much, Larry! Most people prefer Willie Nelson's version of this song but I'm with you on this because I never cared much for Willie's voice.

  • Thanx a bunch! I thought I was an Elvis fan. I didn't know he recorded this song. Thanx again!

  • Original Writtn by the great Hank williams sr

  • in a land that knows no parting

  • Hey, its a wonderful good song.

    Elvis and whoever has a right to sing it. Lord help us all. JP

  • this cat can sing any song he wants and NAILS it!!!!!!!!

  • he should leave this one to Willie

  • @1971greenvelvet

    Many others would agree with you on this one. Thanks for commenting!

  • Thank you for the video, very professionally done. 

  • @carrvy1

    Thank you so much! I really appreciate your kindness.

  • @carann5, your welcome. Merry Christmas an a Happy New Year.

  • 3 WORDS::: "VERY GOOOOD VIDEO!!!!!!!"

  • The last song Elvis performed in private was a rendition of "Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain," done on his piano in Graceland hours before his death.

  • Blue eyes cryin in the rain..

    good one.

  • @its1976ME

    Thanks so much!

  • @fraaaaaag

    Thank you Lazza!

  • carran5 - BECIR - "My Road" I'm sittin' pond side, in Mississippi, next to a frog, fishing, to throw the little bugger back, in the water. That's BECIR - sittin' next to a stranger frog, who is whooty, who, realizin' i cong all this way, just to catch a fish and throw it in the water again. But, then I get me some John Steinbeck, visit his house, 'n stuff, far away from Earnest Hemingway's pad, in Key West, and i'm like, can't wait to flop on bed rental, to read and depress.

  • Best song Ever

  • Nice job! One of my favorites.

  • @midgetcub134

    Thank you Shane! The girl in the video, except for Priscilla, is my

    daughter. I don't get many comments on this video because most people like

    Willie Nelson's version better. I'm not crazy about his voice so I have to

    say I like this one better. Thanks again!

  • Brilliant song, his last.. It's amazing and your vid is superb

  • Thanks for making this video - I love Elvis and I love all his songs, but this one is special to me because I can relate to it . I have Blue eyes and they've been left crying in rain.

    Yet another Beautiful song by the beloved Elvis - great video carann5
