An American Studio contemporary country recording from February 19, 1969, released as a single in January 1970 with " My Little Friend " on the B-side.
This Eddy Rabbitt / Dick Heard composition, the fourth single from Elvis` Memphis recording sessions, sold 600,000 copies on initial release but failed to scale the heights of previous singles, peaking at #16 in the charts.
Nevertheless, " Kentucky Rain " became Elvis` 50th gold record, and stayed on the chart for nine weeks.
In early 1970 Elvis incorporated " Kentucky Rain " into his stage act.
Live versions have come out on Elvis Aron Presley, The Live Greatest Hits, Live In Las Vegas and on FTD releases Polk Salad Annie and Writing for the King, in addition to the inevitable bootlegs.
June Juanico (born 1938) is a former beauty queen and an Elvis Presley fan from Biloxi, Mississippi, whom the famous rock 'n' roll singer dated in 1955 and 1956, for instance, when he took three weeks of vacation after having recorded his songs "Hound Dog" and "Don't Be Cruel" in the studio in Memphis, Tennessee.
Juanico didn't doubt that Elvis loved her.
She wrote a book on Presley entitled, Elvis in the Twilight of Memory (1997). According to the New York Times review, the book reads "like a high-school diary.

Playing piano and singing harmony on this song is none other than Ronnie Millsap. I saw Ronnie in concert a few years ago and he told the story how Elvis told him to pound the piano to sound like thunder in the chorus. One of my favorite Elvis songs.
