Brenda Lee - Always on my mind.

[@howiewill]

Listening to music over 50 years and never heard this version. And she she first to record it, second to release it. Grew up listening to Elvis and Willie sing it and Judith hill on the voice. Saw Chris Stapleton’s live version is charting and brought me to KZbin. Way to go Brenda!

[@rurome2151]

Pet Shop Boys covered it too...

[@raywhite4146]

Elvis was the best then Willie. This version that's probably good back in the time because the other two has a recorded yet. Normally the first version of usually the best I'm now you get a guy like Elvis Presley I'm now you get a guy like Elvis Presley come in and make it his own and just make you feel the song Brenda Lee I don't feel it.

Paul E. Walker I had no idea Little miss Lets jump the Broomstick sung this song. Quite lovely.

[@timothythorne9464]

It's really the best. The song was written by Mark James, an incomparable songwriter from Houston who also wrote Hooked On A Feeling and Suspicious Minds, among many others.

[@Chris-zd1bm]

Timothy Thorne I absolutely love Hooked on a feeling. Sad that song writers don’t receive as much credit as the singer.

[@byroncjohnston1]

She stalled at # 45 on the country charts. Several other versions reached the top 20's. Elvis's version reached # 16. (According to Wikipedia.)

[@alexanderschestag3247]

Actually, it's the original version.

It’s not a version- it’s the original recording…

[@sandsoftime1954]

What can i say. It’s a brilliant song. I didn’t know Elvis wasn’t the first singer get to sing it. Brenda’s version is very sweet indeed. I think I’m just in love with this song tbh. So simple but so deep and human.
