Someone else wrote most of Elvis Presley's songs, but Elvis brought them to life. He put everything he had into his music.

[@lindabratcher4457]

Marty Robbins wrote this one. He was a country music singer-song writer.

[@walliegirl2]

What do you mean, someone else wrote most of Elvis' songs. Elvis ONLY co-wrote two songs in which Red West did almost all of the work. Elvis was a very talented guy, but he was not a songwriter.

[@michaelgibson3011]

@@walliegirl2 He chose not to right songs. He could play drums, Bass and piano and chose not to do so. He just wanted to be a entertainer. He rewrote a lot of the words in dozens of songs and changed the words in many more. He did say to Mac Davis once when he handed him a partly written song that "I'm not a song writer I'm a entertainer"

[@walliegirl2]

Marty Robbins can. He wrote the song. Elvis took more of a bluesy approach to the song while Marty's was more country. The lyrics are what Marty faced in his life. Marty wrote over 200 songs of which all but 3 were by himself. I respect Elvis, but Marty was the greater talent as he wrote a lot of music and Elvis wrote none.

Man oh man it's so great seeing the younger generation enjoying Elvis. I grew up listening to Elvis as my mom and sister were major fans even going to his Orlando concerts. I had just turned 16 two weeks before he died and I cried like a baby. He truly is the king of rock and roll. It's been 42 years since he passed and people are still loving him and his music today. His music will still live on after other music has died. Nobody will ever take his place. ✌😎

Elvis is maybe the GOAT singer. And Marty Robbins maybe the greatest singer/songwriter.

[@markhooren5530]

Elvis really felt the music because he experienced some of the things he sung about. He was by far the greatest performer put out on a stage ever. ...and that's why we called him the king.

ELVIS. ALWAYS. THE BEST

[@sandramiller8701]

Elvis Presley was going through alot in the years 1973 until 1977. He was such a kind humble hearted man.

[@walliegirl2]

So was Marty Robbins. I have not heard one say a bad thing about him. And when he crashed into the wall in a Nascar race to save Richard Childress life, all of his fellow Nascar drivers had the utmost respect for him. You can see how his fellow musicians love him on his country talent show.

Have you listened to Paul Simon's Graceland album. Pure genius as he wrote all of the songs and sang them. Simon is about 5'2" and not much to look at. But he brought African music to the US. So OK that Elvis could sing great, arrange and look great, but he never accomplished anything like the Graceland album.

I loved this song, written by Marty Robbins, it tells a great story. Robbins talked about how flattered he was Elvis sang his song. Elvis had so much charisma, so much charm. He really was something unique. A generation loved him !!

[@walliegirl2]

Agree. Marty was the genius songwriter and great singer. Elvis was not a songwriter, but a great singer/performer/arranger. For me, Marty is better than Elvis. Just look at the trilogy of "El Paso", "Feleena" and "El Paso City." - pure genius of Marty. Only a few songwriters can match it.

Elvis Presley does a beautiful sad version of this song it related to his own emotional personal feelings I believe he sung w heart a soul.

The complete Elvis from 1956-1977 RIP is all amazing. That’s the truth. There is never a poor Elvis performance. His voice from young falsetto to 1977 tenor is perfect pitch no matter what song or arrangement. God placed a hand on Elvis shoulder at childhood and must have said, “son, you will be the best”.

[@peterterry9594]

If you ever really watch his hand movements during these songs it looks like he's telling the band what he wants while singing. In a way he's conducting or producing as he's singing. 2:09 he looks as if he's asking for more drum from Ronnie Tutt. That's just one example.

[@theresapisa6085]

I agree with you

[@cherylk6164]

He did all teh music arrangement so he was conducting in a way. he knew what sound was was coming next

[@sandralybrand9407]

He is conducting the band. He does the same with the choir. He puts the whole production together. It might be a look a finger or hand movement. They rehearse until it's right! I've watched his rehearsals how he puts it all together.

[@sandralybrand9407]

He did conduct the band and the singers as well.

[@sandralybrand9407]

@@cherylk6164 If you've watched his rehearsals, you can see him putting the show together. He tells the band what he wants and even the orchestra as well as when he wants the singers to do. He produced all his music and recordings. The only thing he didn't do is write the songs. Everything else was all Elvis!

[@Goddybag4Lee]

This song alone is the reason why you should never dismiss the 1970s of Elvis Presley. He took songs that he knew he could have a lot of fun doing, that was hard to sing, that could be show stoppers and that he knew exactly where to emphasize the words to express the feel of the lyrics the best. In this case he was the true master in building up the story of the song in the right way. Many people have said that one should never say he was the King and that by not writing any songs of his own that he was not musical. When we here can finally see the true impact of arrangements.

Elvis was known to embrace all kinds of music. He grew up loving gospel and blues. His soulful style was a result of that background but most importantly he was a gift from above! He didn't realize his gift. It was said;" that he would rehearse a song over and over because he was his own worse critic". Perfectionist!
