So sad - FIRST TIME HEARING ELVIS PRESLEY - ALWAYS ON MY MIND

[@seamuslannon6972]

Willie Nelson won a Grammy for this song, why Elvis never got a Grammy for his version of the song is beyond me. As Elvis kills Willie Nelson's version in my humble opinion. But then again the Grammys are anti Elvis, only won three Grammys in his lifetime and all for Gospel. Not one Grammy for Rock 'N' Roll if that's not anti Elvis what is!!!

[@maryrowell1122]

Still pisses me off to this day He was so high above everybody else he's still up there nobody's ever gonna catch him He was so good that the industry was jealous and didn't give him all the rewards he should have got

[@marthahanley6650]

Elvis was just the King; although he said the real king was God. He had four genres of music *rock, GOSPEL, country and rockabilly* . In four Hall of Fames. If you've never heard him sing gospel you are missing a lot. I'm 64 and his start in music was before I was born.

Harri you are 100% right when you said that if Elvis was still with Priscilla at the time of his death, his life might have been saved. Certainly she would have pressured him to take a break or get a health check when his physical body was deteriorating. Love your great comments.

[@wrestlingterrier8366]

All those who knew Elvis very well, do insist that the only woman who TRULY loved Elvis was Linda Thompson and if she had been around those final months and weeks, Elvis would have been saved. I´m not saying that there was no love between Elvis and Priscilla but I´ve always felt that Priscilla was too young when she met Elvis and as years went by so did her love for him. Linda met Elvis when he was not in his best shape, he was already ill and had it not been for Elvis´s lack of commitment, Linda would have remained with him no matter what. Again, those who knew both of them always felt that Linda really loved Elvis as a man he was and not as the celebrity. Did Elvis love Linda as much? I don´t know. Elvis left this world was too soon. May God bless his beautiful soul.

After his February separation from his wife, Priscilla, Elvis recorded "Always on My Mind" on March 29, 1972. The song was released as the 'B-side' of the "Separate Ways" single, which was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for sales in excess of one million units. It was listed as a double A-side single.

[@naomiwarner7117]

You are right about this. He and Priscilla were already separated she was seeing someone else. The divorce was finalised in 1973

A clip of this video is in the movie "Elvis On Tour" and I believe that was released in 1972. He recorded the song in March of 1972. Priscilla left him in Feb of 1972. So it was all fresh. The divorce was final October of 1973

[@OverandOutChief1]

Try Separate Ways by Elvis. It has the same sentiment and is from the same recording session.

[@diandiaz9026]

Even though it is speculated and I believe truth that he had many affairs during his marriage there has to be a reason that Priscilla has always loved him and keep his legacy alive outside of the money

Wonderful song🙏🙏

[@dulceseco4191]

Many people they think this was dedicated to Priscilla but wasn't. I saw a video of an Elvis concert on youtube where Priscilla was in audience and Elvis talked about it, saying it had nothing to do with her. He asked her from the stage if it was true and Priscilla replied that the song had nothing to do with her. Elvis simply said that it was a song he liked, nothing more.

[@lindacorreia428]

Elvis did tell Pircilla he recorded that song for her, he never was the same after his divorce, theres also a recording where his performing in Las Vegas, after his divorce, Pircilla is in the audience, and he sings the Song It's Midnight, and as his singing the song he says Listen Cilla as he sings Its midnight, a very sad song ! The King Elvis ! The Greatest Of All Time !

[@naomiwarner7117]

HE SURE HE DID MISS HIS FAMILY BUT, ELVIS WAS NEVER THE SAME AFTER HIS MOTHER DIED! ELVIS DIVORCED CILLA, SHE DID NOT DIVORCE HIM AND, HE DID NOT WANT HER BACK AS A WIFE! HE DID LOVE HER BUT, HE WAS NOT IN LOVE WITH HER! SHE WAS THE MOTHER OF HIS ONLY CHILD.

“Always On My Mind,” (made famous by Willie Nelson) a hit that won the Country Music Association’s 1982 Song of the Year and Single of the Year awards as well as the Grammy Awards for Best Male Country Vocal Performance, Best Country Song, and Song of the Year. It was written by Wayne Carson. Songwriter Wayne Carson explains how the beloved song came together : “I wrote those two verses of ‘Always On My Mind’ living in Springfield, Missouri, and I usually write from the melody. I’ll think of the melody or the chord structure or something … If the melody is singable, the words are not far away. It’s only a story, you know. In this case, ‘Always On My Mind’ happens to be one of those things that, universally, everybody on the planet has been there, you know. And it struck all at one time. Everybody touched base with that one. It was just magic that it was so simple and so right on the button." I like your reaction because it is authentic and original. Do you do suggestions for reactions? Could you please do a top #1 hit called " I Go Crazy" by Paul Davis!! Find the live version. Thank you!!

This Elvis version was the key song played at my Dad's service .. It was our way of acknowledging to him that although we loved him and often thought about him, we ( and particularly me ) probably didn't express it enough to him in words and actions when he was alive .. And we believe he felt the same way towards us .. He used to sing along to this multiple times in a row, emphasising various words .. I'm sure he was thinking about my mum when he did .. RIP Dad .. I love you dearly .. Wayne

Even Ike and Tina Turner recorded his song Soul Deep, and another huge hit was The Letter done by the Boxtops and Joe Cocker. He has many others.

Priscilla was the only woman that he really loved...and she him

[@juanita6479]

Maybe this one has something to do with Priscilla, but there is one he definitely dedicated to her but couldn't record it 'I will always love you' from Dolly Parton. Elvis sang it as they were leaving the courtroom after getting divorced, she said that was the most unusual divorce ever, he held her hand the entire session and sang this song beautifully. Elvis wanted to record it officially and Dolly was more than willing to accept, but the Colonel asked her for half or all the royalties, I don't remember well, and she had to refuse of course. Dolly said she cried that night because she saw the sadness in Elvis face, and also she would've liked to hear her own song with that wonderful voice.
