❤️ this super great early 1960s song

I love these old tunes they hit the soul

What an incredible voice, at the top with the best.

This song is just up there, we in Barbados love country and western, I'm in Brooklyn now and still listening to this

I don't think I've heard this song in about a half century. Brings back fond memories of my youth.

“I’ll Touch a Star.” That came out in the same year as “Suspicion,” 1964.

What a beautiful song 🥰 Convince my heart ❤

BEAUTIFUL PERSONALITY...N I LOVEEEEEE THIS SONG I HEARD IT ON THE RADIO SOME YEARSSSS AGO...N THEN KZread CAME ALONG ..I'M SO GLAD I WAS ABLE TO SEE THE PERSON WHO SANG THIS SONG...LOVE IT!!!!

There was a time that I thought this was Elvis..lol. Love this song

Hello Tysheen Greetings from Stockport, England ..... Great video that and analysis .... I stumbled across Terry Stafford whilst surfing KZread and was blown away with the song ... The background vocal girls and the music beat also .... Very catchy tune and a great era for what I call proper music ... Proper tunes and songs ..

Hey Tysheen, His suspicion is coming from her actions!!! The song is saying that she keeps acting a certain way that makes him suspicious of her not being trustworthy...Thanks again for your reaction, I truly enjoyed it!!!

Terry eh uma das mais belas vozes da musica norte americana. Em especial, a esta cancao “Suspicion” tem a sua melhor versao na voz de Terry e eh importante comentar tamebm que os arranjos de coral e sopro escolhidos para a versao de Terry sao absolutamente geniais.

“I’ll touch a star” by this same artists, would love to see your reaction to it 😊

the idea that you even KNOW who Dick Clark was shows how intelligent you are compared to other reactors when they see him. That warms my heart. Yes, everyone though it was Elvis singing when the record came out. Elvis did a versions on an album 2 years before but it didn't have full backup vocals and instrumentation, was never released as a single. it was done ins a hurry. In 1964, rural Oklahoma born William Nathan “Bill” Stafford billed himself as Terry Stafford and took “Suspicion” to #3 on the Billboard Hot 100. This was no small accomplishment, as his was the first single to break a lock on the Top five spots at the time, all held by the Beatles. Elvis never did THAT! I was 8 years old at the time.

For some strange reason I thought Terry was an hispanic singer singing in English. I'm not sure why and perhaps it's also the sound of the music.

He sounds a lot like Elvis and Elvis also sang suspicion

He was not an impersonator; he just happened to sound similar. He wrote many of his own songs for himself and others. He had a totally different style and personality. He was not flashy or flamboyant by nature. Laid back in manner and dress. An imitator takes on the dress, manner and persona of the person imitated. Elvis also was not a writer of music. Terry Stafford was Terry Stafford; he imitated no one.

elvis presley hatte eine sehr gute stimme, dieser gentlemen hier singt noch besser !

The production on this song is so goddamned weird, it doesn't sound like any other song that came out at the time, I don't think. It's midway between torch song and rockabilly. There's no discernible normal rhythm guitar or lead guitar on it. You can't even tell what's horns and what's guitar going on in the background, and everything sounds like it's almost reverbed in another room or a cavern or I dunno what. The drummer sounds like he's using brushes but I'm not even sure. It's just a song from Mars! Of course Elvis did it too and his version is also fantastic, of course. But Stafford's voice just slays it. Also see Robert Gordon's various versions of this, he kills it too. I'd also love to know what type of mic they used to record Stafford's vocals.

Actually Elvis sang this I believe after. I like Elvis s version better.

With respect, you have watched the performance above in this old video when Terry was just a kid-I see and hear no "deliberate" anything but just his natural great voice with nothing forced-it is merely a coincidence that he sounded quite like Elvis but it is certainly not identical and I like the overall sound of his version bettter than the Elvis version. If there was any copyright violation/no permission from Elvis or his writers or no licence granted to Terry and his people then we surely would have heard of some complaint and claim from Elvis if he wanted to pursue same. Either there was no copyright with Elvis or he chose not to pusue a claim as he knew Terry had the more popular version and did not want to hurt the kid on his first go round. In other words, Elvis by 1964 was rich and had had lots and lots of hit records and likely just decided to give Terry a break and not make a stink about Terry's cover version.

@@resipsaloquitur1857 I disagree totally, I find it unlikely that he would sound so very similar to Elvis at a time when Elvis was in his prime without intending to. Also, Elvis would hardly be a likely candidate to sue someone for similarity of performance since he routinely sang other peoples' work without getting permission, such as Carl Perkins' song "Blue Suede Shoes" and the Stoller/Lieber song "Hound Dog." Furthermore, since Elvis recorded it first (1962), imitation is not at all unlikely.

Where in his performance do you hear this young guy straining his voice or sounding in any way unnatural or coached in order to imitate anybody? All I hear and see is his natural voice so what are you suggesting-that he took lessons to change his voice somehow to sound as you hear it in the video above-just so it might sound like Elvis to some listeners? What would you suggest he should have done...sit home and not record any songs and not even try to pursue a singing career at all simply because he has a natural voice like Elvis without even needing to alter a thing to sound like him although he is not 100% identical? Your comments about Elvis singing other's songs without their permisssion is interesting-I knew about the Carl Perkins song but have no idea whether he talked to Carl first and got his OK but if he did not, why are you so upset then that Stafford may not have done so re. this Elvis song and Terry or his people may well have talked to Elvis to get his clearance-you and I just do not know. As you say, if he had done so, Elvis could hardly object or are you suggesting that Elvis say to Terry that his voice was too close to his and then try to stop him on that basis??...and when that simply happened to be Terry's natural voice!? Surely not so I see no crime here at all and nothing to be excited about.
