Elvis Presley - Suspicious Minds (Take 1-5)
Elvis Presley - Suspicious Minds (Take 1-5)
Recorded: January 23, 1969
-About:
"Suspicious Minds" is a 1968 song written and first recorded by the American songwriter Mark James. After this recording failed commercially, it was recorded by Elvis Presley with the producer Chips Moman. Presley's version reached No.1 on the US Billboard Hot 100, his 18th and final no. 1 single on that chart. In 1999, the 1969 recording by Elvis Presley on RCA Victor Records was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.
The song is about a mistrusting and dysfunctional relationship, and the need of the characters to overcome their issues in order to maintain it.
Written in 1968 by Mark James, who was also the co-writer of "Always on My Mind" (which Presley would later record), the song was first recorded and released by James on Scepter Records in 1968.
Chips Moman had asked James to come to Memphis to write songs for American Sound Studio. At the time, James was residing in Houston. He had written three songs that became No.1 hits in the Southern United States. American Sound Studio was gaining a reputation in the industry, as the Box Tops had just recorded "The Letter" there, so James relocated to Memphis.
James said that late one night, he was fooling around on his Fender guitar and using his Hammond organ pedals for a bass line and came up with what he thought was a catchy melody. At the time, he was married to his first wife but still had feelings for his childhood sweetheart, who was married back in Houston. James's wife had suspicions about his feelings. He felt it was a confusing time for him and that all three were "caught in this trap that they could not walk out of." At the recording session, James sang the lead vocals and the studio band backed him; Moman produced. The horns, strings, and vocals of the Holladay Sisters were later overdubbed. After the tape was mixed, James and Moman flew to New York, where James's manager had contacts with Scepter Records. The label loved the song and put it out, but Scepter did not have the money to promote new artists and the song did not make the charts.
Later that year, Don Crews, Moman's partner, told James that Presley had booked their studio to record what would become the From Elvis in Memphis album. Crews kept asking James if he had any songs that would be right for Presley. James felt Presley needed a mature rock 'n' roll song to bring him back, as Tom Jones was a popular artist at the time. Crews and James thought of "Suspicious Minds" and James began urging others to get Presley to hear it. Though James's recording had not been commercially successful, upon reviewing the song, Presley decided he could turn it into a hit.
- Background:
Presley had not recorded in Memphis since 1955. Presley's 1969 recordings at American Sound Studio were a direct consequence of the '68 Comeback Special, that interested Chips Moman in producing recordings in Presley's new style; he was making his comeback to the Memphis musical scene by recording rock, gospel, country, rhythm & blues, and soul. Marty Lacker, a close friend of Elvis, suggested the record at the studio. These sessions produced the album From Elvis in Memphis.

Beautiful Elvis
Спасибо за предоставленный вариант моей любимой песни Элвиса. Я так понимаю это репетиционный вариант. Но я готова это слышать вновь и вновь. Раньше я слышала эту песню несколько в другой аранжировке и более быстром темпе и страстном исполнении.
Súper genialll ❤
What a dream of a man... GORGEOUS photo....🥰❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️🥰💘💘💘
Przystojniak w tych czarnych okularach.
He worked so hard to get it so perfect. Great talent, unique voice and handsome on top of it. He always sounds like he meant every word of his music when he sang it. 😊😊❤

I remember where I was too. I was 12 years old and in the backseat of my parents car, I was sick with a bad cold which turned out to be severe allergies, we were on the way to Myrtle Beach, S.C. Love, love, love Elvis, this may possibly be my favorite song ever. 💕💕💕💕💕💕

@@dianejohnson1836 It's funny how some things stick in your mind isn't it and other things have no importance whatsoever.There are probably only a handful of songs that I could tell you where I first heard them. I was in a shoe shop with a friend and we were buying a pair of Loafers for school when I first heard this. I remember thinking Wow! this is a great song. 😍
Love hearing the outakes, learning new songs etc sounds so fresh
Fantastic,perfectionist I liked this rehearsal version without all the backing vocals,all you can hear is Elvis' beautiful voice ❤️ love it ❤love him ❤️
