I haven't heard this song since I was little, and it really reminds me of my Dad. And how he got after our mom left us, and my little brother. That was 18yrs ago . . . and he still hasn't got over her, she ripped his heart out =(
And, to think Elvis said "I do not know what music is. In my line you don't have to know it" Was he being humble? Or, did he rightfully claimed his place as THE KING? Do you know, I named my son Elvis (though he can not sing like Elvis). But then who can? I still love him
You think this version is sad, you ought to hear the version that his daughter made with him singing this beautiful song and the Ghetto as well. I've known of this song for many, many years and from the first time I heard it to this day it still brings me to tears to hear it. And more so when it is sung with Lisa Marie who has her Dad's sweet talent as well!!! Lovely version here and lovely version with Lisa as well!!! Check it out on You Tube.
nice song , a song my dad dedicated to me as a child, to this day now it sticks . love you loads dad you have always stuck by me and been there to hold my hand never let me fall , xxx
was listening to this with mum last night she was half in tears poor elvis his mother died to quickly same with him he was just 42 hen he died my mum was just born then. sad story but he had a grate live most of the time when he was alive he has a lot of fans who would never leave elvis for anything
i love this song cuz i use ta say this ta my dad but isted of me nd littlet tommey i would say u still got me nd little dude nd i'm da older 1 nd i think it is tru how kids always feel da pain nd hort da most it sucks nd now my dad fond some1 nd he dont ever have time 4 me nd my brother no more it feels like :'(
one of the most heartfelt and saddest songs Elvis ever sang,leave it to Mac Davis to write this song ,Eddie Rabbit wrote songs for Elivs as well,most people don't know that i bet:)
Great job as always Jackie, 10 Stars. This has always been one of my most favorite songs that Elvis ever recorded. This song was written by Mac Davis. The other three songs that Elvis recorded that were written by Mac Davis were "A Little Less Conversation", "In The Ghetto" and "Memories". Mac Davis hosted his very own music TV Show for a couple of years back in the 1970's and my parents have attended one of his concerts.
It is available on Always on My Mind, Elvis: Worldwide 50 Gold Award Hits, Vol.1, The Memphis Record, The Top Ten Hits, From Nashville to Memphis: The Essential 60s Masters, 2nd to None, Artist of the Century, The 50 Greatest Love Songs, and Suspicious Minds (1999).
Written by Mac Davis. Elvis recorded it January 15, 1969 at American Sound Studios in Memphis. Ronnis Milsap sang harmony and Ed Kollis played harmonica. The single release had a 13-week stay on Billboards Hot 100 chart, peaking at #6. It reached #13 on the country chart, and sold over 1,000,000 copies. It was the A-side to Rubberneckin.

Elvis is the only artist that can make people cry with a few words, this and In The Ghetto made me cry :(
I wish I lived in his time and saw him live. A true legend and he will never be forgotten.
