Listen to the 1971 version too. His voice had matured a bit by then. Great version too.

I have known several ppl who knew Elvis, everyone said he was so respectful and kind. Of course never forgetting where he can from but a big help. Most ppl who weren't half as famous as he was thought the ppl they once knew where in the same league.

Beautiful! His voice just mesmerizing. Thank you for this wonderful reaction. I listen to this one often. Elvis liked this song a lot, too. He recorded it again in the 70's and sang it live at times..❤❤❤❤

Going to church, as we would say. Very gospel vibes.

Here is the story of Elvis and his first backing vocalists The Jordanaires who you can hear on this track, together with the famous Imperials. Loyalty is a word synonymous with Elvis. “One Sunday afternoon, in 1955, the Jordanaires played a show in Memphis with Eddy Arnold. They had just completed the 'Eddy Arnold Show' for TV in 1954, and, were in Memphis, publicizing the series. The Jordanaires had sung 'Peace In The Valley' on the show that afternoon. When the show was over, a young man, blond, quiet and courteous, and, plenty of combed-back hair, came backstage to meet them. He was Elvis Presley, a young, practically unheard of singer, just getting his start in the area. There were a few polite exchanges, then Elvis said, 'If I ever get a recording contract with a major company, I want you guys to back me up'. He was on 'Sun' at that time. Thinking back to that night, The Jordanaires' first tenor, Gordon Stoker, remembers wishing Elvis well, 'But we never expected to hear from him again', he said. 'People were always coming up and saying that. We're still told that'. Sure enough!! Elvis recorded his first session with RCA on January 10, 1956, with Scotty Moore, Bill Black, and, D. J. Fontana. That day, 'I Got A Woman', 'Heartbreak Hotel', and, 'Money Honey' were recorded. On January 11, 1956, Gordon Stoker was called by Chet Atkins to do a session with a 'new-probably-wouldn't-be-around-long kid, named Elvis Presley '--- oily hair, pink shirt, black trousers. RCA had, also, just signed 'The Speer Family'. Chet asked Gordon to sing with Ben and Brock Speer so he could use them. On this day Elvis recorded just two songs, 'I'm Counting On You' and 'I Was The One' with - with The Jordanaires - this being the first recording session that Elvis did with vocal background. By April 1956, 'Heartbreak Hotel' was 'No. 1'. After having done several more recording sessions in New York with Scotty, Bill and D. J., Elvis flew to Nashville on April 14, 1956, to record 'I Want You, I Need You, I Love You'. Gordon was called, again, to sing a vocal trio with Ben and Brock. After the session, Elvis took Gordon aside and told him (not knowing, at the time, why all the Jordanaires were not there) that he wanted 'the' Jordanaires on all his future recording sessions. This time, Stoker saw to it that it was known - and - true to his word - Elvis used the Jordanaires on nearly every one of his recording sessions for the next 14 years. At a time when no backing musicians, producers, or engineers received a name recognition on any records, Elvis insisted that he have the 'Jordanaires' on the 'labels' of his records. The reflected glory was enough to earn the Jordanaires 'Group of the Year' awards well into the Beatles era.”

Elvis’s voice was unbelievable. No one imo compares. If you haven’t yet you must watch “If I Can Dream”. It will blow you away!

My connection to Mr. Elvis Presley. My Father was stationed to Germany and the family was able to go with him on this overseas deployment for a change. Turned out there was a celebrity on board the ship that was bringing us overseas, Elvis Presley. I was only 4 years old and seasick so I didn't get the chance to meet him but my older sister was able to get a photograph and autograph when he came to the day room. She says he played piano and sang for everyone when he could. Also she said he was so handsome and kind to everyone especially the little children. Fast forward 40 years and another one of my sisters dug into our family genealogy finding out Elvis is our distant cousin, 12th cousin once removed going back to Elizabeth Woodville Queen Consort to Edward lV aka The White Queen.

The lyricist is actually Edward Heyman. Victor Young is the composer. Together they created this tune in 1945, probably in response to all the military service personnel who were separated from their loved ones. The song has been recorded by at least 335 artists!

[@Jj48unconditionallove]

The 70s version blows this one away..its so good.

[@marciaduffy1864]
