What do you think of this love song, most popularly covered by Elvis? It's one of the only Elvis songs I like, and I think it's a really sweet song. What about you?

u should check out you were always on my mind, in the ghetto, marie's the name etc.

but in general if u listen to elvis's songs, with the right kinda sonic power, they could be brilliant, like hunk o' love, hound dog, treat me nice, these songs r dyin for a little punk force to em.

it's a good song. very soothing sound to it. tremendous vocal performance. the talking bit in the middle is very dated, but like you said, it's an old song. written in the 20's i believe.

bit of trivia; Elvis recorded that song at Colonel Parker's request. the only time he did so in his career. the Colonel's wife loved that song and asked her husband to ask Elvis to sing it. from the '68 Comeback Special and throughout the rest of Elvis' life whenever Elvis got to the talking part, he would always joke his way through it as a vague dig at his manager with whom he had a very strained relationship with. often Elvis referred to Colonel Parker as Colonel Sanders and would make references to his bald head during the song.
