Elvis Presley Playing for Keeps

Elvis Presley Playing For Keeps
Written by Stanley A. Kesler for Elvis. Elvis recorded it at Radio Recorders on September 1, 1956. Take #7 was used by RCA. The single release had a 9-week stay on Billboards Top 100 chart, peaking at #34. It reached #8 on the Country Juke Box chart. It was a million seller. It was the B-side to Too Much. It is available on Elvis: Worldwide Gold Award Hits, Vol. 1, For LP Fans Only, A Valentine Gift for You, Elvis, and The King of Rock n Roll-The Complete 50s Masters, which is where this version is from.

I'm playin' for keeps
This time it's real
And I want you to know
Exactly how I feel
I'm playin' for keeps
For sure this time
And I won't be happy
Until I know you're mine

There have been others
That could love me true
But no one else
can thrill me like you do
I'm playin' for keeps
Oh love me too
Oh, don't make me sorry
That I fell in love with you

There have been others
That could love me true
But no one else
can thrill me like you do
I'm playin' for keeps
Oh love me too
Oh, don't make me sorry
That that I fell in love with you

Another favourite of mine, Elvis's voice is perfection.

@jacqui4elvis And if they never understand...well...it is their loss not to be able to appreciate such a talent.

Jackie you are the best. I'm 59 and I didn't listen to Elvis until 9th grade when a friend of mine told me about him. And I was the kid who loved music and wrote down all the 100 hits every year while playing baseball in the backfield. Elvis is the King and always will be.  Thanks for all you do on you tube. I did convince my son that Elvis was "it". He thought I was an idiot when I first mentioned it but now he's more of an Elvis fan than me. Thanks again Jackie.
