What a voice . I was in a Hospital Navy ship in Vietnam when i heard this song Played over the PA system taking care of my wounded Veterans . I said Wow! What A voice. I still heard that song in my head. Im 73 and i still remember. They dont make Music not even close to that. What they have now is total trash. RIP Terry. Thanks
I was 3 yrs old when this song came out. I remember hearing it as a young boy as my mom cleaned house. I kinda always liked it. Haven't heard it in 40 plus years. It came across my feed today and now i absolutely love it. 😎
Am I the only American who feels that the singers from the late 50s and the early 60s were the greatest rock and rollers of all-time and put to shame 95% of "modern" rock and roll? StocktonRob
@@timothyernest6429 Actually he was only 54, 8 months before his 55th birthday. He was born on November 22, 1941 and died March 17, 1996. I knew Terry well back in the 70's as I worked for Atlantic Records his label when he recorded Amarillo By Morning. He was a dear soul and an extraordinary talent.
Whoever gave this song for me to listen to, I wish you the best life. It has been added to my favorite songs of all time. That is very important, because music has been a big part of my precious life. Know that you are much loved for that. Have a blessed Sunday.
This song is haunted. Just plain gorgeous...with all today's technology, there's nothing more engaging.. at the end, it just goes around the bend into eternity..
@@carolyncordes9262 HEY! it sure was! I was a little kid in the 60's didn't turn 13 years old till 1969, and technically my music is the 70's which pumped out some really great songs along with the 80's HOWEVER, those dang 60's songs can really beat it all to heck and back. I also liked the later part of the 50's songs to. Jerry Butlers song For Your Love, can really put ice in your veins. That's why they call him, THE ICE MAN! The 1962 song, Make It Easy On Yourself kicks some butt out there to, and who could ever forget the song Let It Be Me by Jerry Butler and Betty Everett, blow the doors off you when you listen to that great 60's sounded music to, and I can think of a lot other 60's music that's really timeless to.
Agreed. It was the sax part, hypnotic. Also, it had a Phil Specktor "wall of sound" tone, like the Chiffons, Ruby & the Romantics, etc. Typical 60's 45 rpm tune.
I'm 70 but I still listen to this stuff because it gives me flashbacks to my teens, when everything in my minds eye and heart was possible in the future!
Oh deer i am 76 and this is one of the best at the time, beetles ,,,,,,,,,,,,songs to simple success on young teens girls, elvis ok buuuut i like this guy, sorry he passed on.
Why oh why can't we have polite, well dressed and handsome singers like this today. What a voice. $what lyrics. Well before my time, but this song is timeless !
This guy also wrote and sang the originals of Pocketful of Rainbows, which Elvis had a big hit with, and Amarillo by morning, George Straight had a big hit with it!!
ya i am in England but as a German i think all of the western countries suffer this,because our culture is eradicated in favour of migrant cultures that are basically ...........
I first heard Terry Stafford sing Suspicion on the radio. His voice resonated with my soul. To this day I love to hear him sing. He died young too. All good singers are dead and we just have to compromise listening to screaming singing.
In the early 1960’s I saw Terry Stafford on stage performing this. He was on with Jackie Wilson and others. It was a wonderful show and I’ll always remember it because I was a huge Jackie Wilson fan and when I saw Terry I also became a fan of his as well. I’ll always remember his soft voice and demeanor!
I grew up listening to these songs my Dad played on 45’s on the Livingroom hi-fi… great voices in them days were discovered and here we are in the 2020’s discovering new ones… music is such a foundation in living
The music from the 50’s and 60’s were the best. I have so much of this music recorded and enjoy it very much. My daughter and son are in their mid 40’s and they would play this music just for me when they are around. Love it.
Terry Stafford, Great personality, singer, song. Never heard this version before. i think his performance sums up that whole era of fabulous music. Before the rot set in! Now one of my top 5 songs any era. Thanks for the posting.
"Suspicion" is a 1962 song originally recorded by Elvis Presley written by Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman which became a major hit in 1964 in a recording by Elvis Presley sound-alike Terry Stafford."
@@ElvLeg I remember hearing this for the first time when I turned on my new 6 transistor radio. Wow! But hey, it's all we had back then. Couldn't afford to buy 45's every week.
I found out ONLY today that this was not an Elvis original! This guy is amazing, but maybe his voice too similar to Elvis' voice? However.....beautiful voice!
Every time I hear this song I'm transported back to the 60s, I stop what I'm doing and listen. Then think on all the good times that I had with my friends and family. I think on those that have passed on to beyond the sunset. Music and only music can take you back faster then the speed of light to days that can no more hurt us, make us cry or surprise us. Just make us think on the good times. Amen
lynnkirton...I love to know, from your comments of 2 years ago, of your just coming to know Terry and his beautiful voice from this clip. I am a fan but also a dear friend from when I knew him back in 1973 when he recorded for Atlantic Records in Nashville, where I worked. He was just as sweet and humble as he was in this clip. I adored him and was heart broken when he died tho I didnt know for years. If you want to hear some of my favorite songs of Terry's that you can find on utube, look for Amarillo By Morning which someone else mentioned, he recorded it on his only LP released for Atlantic and it later, in 1991 I think, became a huge hit for George Strait which I'm glad Terry lived to see. Also an old Merle Haggard song Shelly's Winter Love is from the same album. There is also a song called Texas Moon Palace which is both a video of him at age 44 or so, performing it live at a club in Arizona and also a record on a little known label Player Records. It is one of his most poetic and beautiful songs with a wonderful melody which showcases his range. My other favorite that is so beautiful and is near and dear to my heart is called We've Grown Close. It was recorded in 1974 but just prior to being released, Atlantic New York shut down our small country division much to our heartbreak, including Terry's. The song was somehow included in a compilation of some of his songs from the 60's, tho it was from this later 70's era of his career when he looked like the consummate Texas "cowboy" he was. The pictures of him on the Atlantic LP were exactly what he looked like in '73 and '74 when he sang We've Grown Close. If you can, listen thru Bluetooth earbuds/headphones as the sound of his voice is so evocative and beautiful when directly in your ear. I think if you just do a search on say "We've Grown Close" by Terry Stafford you will find it on a channel from an Elmarr Neumann (or similar). Hope you find them, I love expanding his fan base even posthumously when he's no longer here to know it. RIP sweet Terry... I will see you on the other side.
It seems all the songs back then spoke from the heart .clean a child can listen to the music from that era which is why we were not as destructive as this junk they provide today
You're not the only American who remembers Terry Stafford singing Suspicious, back in '65' I was only 10 years old then. I enjoyed his music then. Now at 67 years old in 2022, this song I really can identify with. I'm having the problem today with another woman that I love, but does she really love me???
Wow, Stafford and Elvis both had fantastic versions of this song. Must admit I'm more keen on this version - it has a haunting feeling. Sorry Stafford didn't receive more recognition in his lifetime. Sounds like he did it all, singer, songwriter, and actor. Breaking into the Top 5 when it was dominated by The Beatles was quite an achievement. Thanks for posting.
@@zacharybauer929 Elvis also sang (cover) 'Suspicion': here is the link: ruclips.net/video/m5iRZidRn9A/видео.html Which of the two versions do you prefer?
I was only 5 years old then when this song came out. Now at 67 I have learned some hard lessons in my life. Women weren't always sometimes faithful. I had learned my lessons well.
I was born in 1958 and made it thru all the decades. Now I even listen to trap, rap, punk, afrobeatz, afropunk, dubstep, punkabilly, metal, alternative, funk and international music, etc. I've got 62 years of 100's of 1000's of songs in my head ♫♪...take that millennials...BOOM!
Reminds me when I was little it always came on the radio. Back then my Mom and Aunts had the radio on all day while we played outside having fun with our cousins. Sure miss those days.🙏🏼❤️
My Grammie, Genevieve Paternoster was one of the back-up singers for this song. I remember being there the night they cut this. My Grandfather, Robert Paternoster assisted in the mixing of Suspicion. Good times!!! Miss them forever.
Every time you kiss me I'm still not certain that you love me, Every time you hold me I'm still not certain that you care Though you keep on saying you really, really, really love me Do you speak the same words to someone else when I'm not there. Suspicion torments my heart, Suspicion keeps us apart, Suspicion why torture me. Every time you call me and tell me we should meet tomorrow I can't help but think that you're meeting someone else tonight, Why should our romance just keep on causing me such sorrow? Why am I so doubtful whenever you're out of sight? Suspicion torments my heart, Suspicion keeps us apart, Suspicion why torture me. Darling, if you love me, I beg you wait a little longer, Wait until I drive all these foolish fears out of my mind, How I hope and pray that our love will keep on growing stronger, Maybe I'm suspicious 'cause true love is so hard to find. Suspicion torments my heart, Suspicion keeps us apart, Suspicion why torture me.
Sandy Yuen You love his music. I just found a lot of background on Terry. The instrumentation on his music was with Bob Summers, brother-in-law of the pioneer new guitar. Thus Terry had these big connections in the music world. Reason that his first two recordings hit the charts. Les Paul & Bob Summers were married to two sister of a singing trio that sang Christian music.____ Pace sisters. Thus although Terry appears out of nowhere, to singing success, there were a lot of other people in his life.
Nationally "Suspicion" rose from number 7 to number 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 dated 4 April 1964, when the chart's top five hits were all by the Beatles. "Suspicion" broke the Beatles' monopoly on the top five spots on the chart by rising to #3, its peak position, the next week!
TERRY STAFFORD PULLED AN ELVIS PRESLEY!! I'm a huge Elvis fan, and I know Elvis covered a lot of songs. Now, Terry went and covered an Elvis song... and quite well, I might add!! Rest In Peace to 2 music Legends!!
Terry Stafford was one of my father’s friends and running crew at Palo Duro High School in Amarillo, Texas. He has told me about when Terry got on a bus to LA after graduating high school to further his career. Terry borrowed shoes from my father, and a sport coat and tie from other friends. My father never got his shoes back lol.
In 1975, I was doing a Saturday mid-day shift at KHAP in Aztec, NM. There was a knock on the studio window, it was Terry Stafford dropping in for a promo visit. He spent about an hour visiting with me, just relaxed and casual. He had later success as a C&W singer/writer. One of the nicest recording stars I ever was around.
I was just a baby in the late 50s but the 60s rock and roll music what is the best music of my generation but only one person put them all to shame that was my man Elvis Presley rest in peace Elvis. One of the greatest performers that ever lived Michael Jackson didn't have a prayer. Elvis Presley was rock and roll...
It's a different world today---almost completely different! There was a Freshness in the air back then. Sure, I was just a young man...didn't have many responsibilities, but the atmosphere was far different. I can even 'Feel it, just listening to this. Cer- tain pictures come to mind. Nowadays it seems you have to Watch your back----and your mouth!
2024 and music like this, still stands head and shoulders above much of today's "music".... it's timeless and it'll never die!
I agree! The performers of today don't have any talent whatsoever. Mariah Carey is an example of this.
RIP Terry Stafford (November 22, 1941 - March 17, 1996), aged 54
You will be remembered as a legend.
This man wrote “Amarillo by morning”🎉🎉🎉🎉
That is way too young to die. Life can be strange at times.
studied by this song at Northern Mich Univ
This guy was 19 years older than me. This is my birthday !!!

It does touch the heart. Exactly
back when white people was proud an ok to be white. now they wanna be black and act black.
A lot of people think Elvis recorded this song originally.
Am I the only American who feels that the singers from the late 50s and the early 60s were the greatest rock and rollers of all-time and put to shame 95% of "modern" rock and roll? StocktonRob
No truer words..........
I feel the same way Robert
Canadian, but agree totally. I also think the true King of rock is Buddy Holly and Elvis got the title by default.... and even then.......
Bullshit! You must have stopped listening to music before the Beatles and the Stones came along.
No Robert, you're not the only one.
Terry died in 1996, several months before his 56th birthday. He died in Amarillo & that's where he's buried. What a beautiful voice he had.❤
how ?
Yeah how did he perish so young ? Was he a chain smoker? Auto accident? How ?
Liver disease
Very sad to hear this news. A lovely and respectful young man. R.I.P.

Terry is my patient's nephew. She is 94 years old and I showed her this video today...man was she overcome with joy
A-men!!! That was real nice of you to do that for her. God is good
Is she Jim Stafford's mother? Terry Stafford is his cousin.
Is that the best lie you could come up with? No imagination, obviously.
I recently discovered he is actually my third cousin. His grandmother was my grandmother's first cousin.
97.
My Grandma Betty Schlenz is one of the background vocals. Anytime I miss her I pull up this video for a smile.
I like that really great.
I sing this song with my group Jessy and The Fancy Cats and everyone loves it
great story.. congrats for your grandmom
That is so great.
Lovely soprano backups ... at the time, they were outstanding, contrast beautifully with his low voice.

When I was a kid my mom played this lovely song stand still watching her dance, she stills dancing Thank you God.
She is 85 years old.
God bless her 💓
Great story! 😊🇨🇦
Way to go Mom, keep on Dancin'
There is something mesmerizing about this song, it evokes the deep emotions. The background organ makes Terry Stafford's version unique.
That was an early French designed synthesizer called an Ondioline. Plans to make this vacuum tubed keyboard are free on line!
@@samuelkambol5000 ; Terry Stafford's version is excellent but Elvis version takes us into another dimension
You still have to admit that beep.beep.beep rhythm was very unique for the day.
And Terry performed a song that Elvis owned first. The King just had the production resources to do it better.
Agreed. It was the sax part, hypnotic. Also, it had a Phil Specktor "wall of sound" tone, like the Chiffons, Ruby & the Romantics, etc. Typical 60's 45 rpm tune.
2020 and I'm still listening to a beautiful song.
2021 also, when we had great music

Why oh why can't we have polite, well dressed and handsome singers like this today. What a voice. $what lyrics. Well before my time, but this song is timeless !
Closest we have is Bruno Mars. But it's off by a decade to your point.
Michael Bublé, one of the few.
This guy also wrote and sang the originals of Pocketful of Rainbows, which Elvis had a big hit with, and Amarillo by morning, George Straight had a big hit with it!!
It’s all about egos they don’t know the secret of what a good song is
Slow music can have crazy lyrics and the reverse
This is with out doubt the the best version of the great song 👍🇬🇧
He Sounds A Little Like Elvis Presley♥️ Which Elvis Also Did A Rendition Of This Song 🎶Suspicion🎶 Both Singers Had Extraordinary Voices♥️
Terry Stafford "Suspicion" What a voice thank you for the songs God bless!
i think it is the #1 voice of all known musical history, up to today, 2020
Same here ,yeah
Sad part of all of this, is that he cashed in, and is no longer around anymore. Such a super great song here. Love it!
I'm 82,years old but I love Terry Stafford in more ways than one thank u Terry ..🎉❤😊🎉
Listening to this puts me in a good mood
Polite, respectful, humble....3 virtues in short supply in America these days!
Short supply world wide, unfortunately.
MT account You said it - and in Australia to.
England's rather lacking too

I first heard Terry Stafford sing Suspicion on the radio. His voice resonated with my soul. To this day I love to hear him sing. He died young too. All good singers are dead and we just have to compromise listening to screaming singing.
We had this song in our jukebox back in the days at home when I was a kid. Played it over and over. Terry died at 54 of age and I am now 54.
The only ,and still best version, as only Terry can do it, it hits home, Thanks Terry, rest in peace,,Canada
Always loved this song. Terry was an excellent vocalist
In the early 1960’s I saw Terry Stafford on stage performing this. He was on with Jackie Wilson and others.

One of the most underrated songs ever.
It was a big hit for The King.

Terry Stafford, Great personality, singer, song. Never heard this version before. i think his performance sums up that whole era of fabulous music. Before the rot set in!
Now one of my top 5 songs any era. Thanks for the posting.
This song has always been one of my very favorite songs of all time never gets old for me finally found this album glad this performance still exists
I first heard in in 1964. I was 6 years old and fell in love with it!
RIP, Terry.
I'm old enough to remember when that song came out. Yes, lots of people,including me, thought it was Elvis. Back then we only had AM radio's in mono.

Big El had his own take, prob after TS...likely on here.
I found out ONLY today that this was not an Elvis original! This guy is amazing, but maybe his voice too similar to Elvis' voice? However.....beautiful voice!
Every time I hear this song I'm transported back to the 60s, I stop what I'm doing and listen. Then think on all the good times that I had with my friends and family.

Arguably one of the best singles of 1964. Terry's follow up 45, I'll Touch A Star was also superb. He is greatly missed.
Better than Elvis version and I am a huge Elvis fan .
Can't stop listening to his version. He had a great voice. RIP

Terry beautiful song❤❤❤
He is not only charming but also unique ! Unico Unico .
This song was so different I chose it to be the first one that I ever put to tape(reel-to-reel).....I've never regretted it😀
With out a doubt, one of the great classics. I love the song.
It's Ok for Elvis to give up this song because Terry totally owns it with stunning vocals and his heartfelt vulnerably.
@@Dansan-bo7lv You are misunderstanding my comment. I was making the point that Terry's version is better.

Why should our romance just keep on causing me such sorrow?
Why am I so doubtful whenever you're out of sight?

Wait until I drive all these foolish fears out of my mind,
How I hope and pray that our love will keep on growing stronger,
Maybe I'm suspicious 'cause true love is so hard to find.
Suspicion torments my heart,
Suspicion keeps us apart,
Suspicion why torture me.
Thanks for the words.
GREAT WORDS FROM A WORRIED LOVER. HOPE IT WORKED OUT FOR THEM.
Definitely a guy with jealousy issues

OMG!!!!! Be still my heart!!! Whooo! 💞💞Lolo! That deep rich tone drives me bananas!!! Lolol!😜 LOVE this song! ☺
One of my all time favorite songs. He passed way too soon
God is there any way we can go back in time and be back to those kind of days - those kind of singers - those kind of just a good life.....
This version is the best . Terry Stafford is a great singer .I miss him so much . How can I bring him back .
cause he has back up singers? or cause you dont like Elvis? to me, i like both versions. wasnt for Elvis, wouldnt be Terry Stafford

Good god, you have some sort of Elvis complex...
Sandy Yuen You love his music. I just found a lot of background on Terry. The instrumentation on his music was with Bob Summers, brother-in-law of the pioneer new guitar. Thus Terry had these big connections in the music world. Reason that his first two recordings hit the charts. Les Paul & Bob Summers were married to two sister of a singing trio that sang Christian music.____ Pace sisters. Thus although Terry appears out of nowhere, to singing success, there were a lot of other people in his life.
I miss the oldies.keep them coming!!!!!
This is the best version by Terry Stafford by all means
Sorry, die Version von Elvis Presley gefällt mir persönlich besser❗ Er bringt 💯%mehr Gefühl in den Song❗
Nationally "Suspicion" rose from number 7 to number 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 dated 4 April 1964, when the chart's top five hits were all by the Beatles. "Suspicion" broke the Beatles' monopoly on the top five spots on the chart by rising to #3, its peak position, the next week!
Wow when the angels come for me i will be looking for this wonderful guy. Yrs i am already 76years.
Whenever I think of this song, It's this version that always comes to mind.
This is the best version by terry never get tired of hearing it
When I hear this song
I'll think about my late Mother Norma.
I play this for her birthday & Mother's Day.
I ❤ & miss u .
The backing singers doing "Suspicion" and him answering was a great production choice. Backing singers in those days were used to great effect.
how can he not be a sensation!! hes handsome humble and a great tune
Got this beautiful gem on repeat tonight ❤😀🍻🍻❤️❤️❤️
I have to say Terry Stafford owned this song, in my opinion.
I completely agree elvis' version is not even comparable
+mrcake 202 not true!
Agree
Yes. Elvis" version is the best. Elvis is the King.
yes terry is THE ONE
TERRY STAFFORD PULLED AN ELVIS PRESLEY!! I'm a huge Elvis fan, and I know Elvis covered a lot of songs. Now, Terry went and covered an Elvis song... and quite well, I might add!! Rest In Peace to 2 music Legends!!
Stafford wrote the song and preformed it first.
Great voice, great singing, great charisma!
Man what a great voice he had.
There is nobody that can match Terry Stanford today.....this song became an international classic.....
OMG that voice was pure gold!!!!
Terry Stafford was one of my father’s friends and running crew at Palo Duro High School in Amarillo, Texas. He has told me about when Terry got on a bus to LA after graduating high school to further his career. Terry borrowed shoes from my father, and a sport coat and tie from other friends. My father never got his shoes back lol.

Hermosa canción,tiene algo en su música, bien diferente....!
Brilliant! I was 2 years old, cant remember this song because I was to young. However I fell in love with this version when I was older.
Love ❤️ this man and his voice.R.I.P♥️♥️♥️♥️
In 1975, I was doing a Saturday mid-day shift at KHAP in Aztec, NM. There was a knock on the studio window, it was Terry Stafford dropping in for a promo visit. He spent about an hour visiting with me, just relaxed and casual. He had later success as a C&W singer/writer. One of the nicest recording stars I ever was around.
+Jim Southern ....did you guys smoke a joint and get high....if you can remember.
What a great voice

Such a handsome strong face and top class voice. Liked this video.
I was just a baby in the late 50s but the 60s rock and roll music what is the best music of my generation but only one person put them all to shame that was my man Elvis Presley rest in peace Elvis. One of the greatest performers that ever lived Michael Jackson didn't have a prayer. Elvis Presley was rock and roll...
I was 4 years old back then. Mom had the 45 of this song. Loved it all those years ago...love it still!
I am 67 this is one of most favorite songs he sings it way better the elves
Finally found it! Spent two years looking for this song after first hearing it on the Muzak at work.
It's a different world today---almost completely different! There
was a Freshness in the air back then. Sure, I was just a young
man...didn't have many responsibilities, but the atmosphere
was far different. I can even 'Feel it, just listening to this. Cer-
tain pictures come to mind. Nowadays it seems you have to
Watch your back----and your mouth!
Viví engañada!
Creí que la voz hermosa era de Elvis.
Qué belleza de interpretación!

Esta la versión de elvis tambien muy buena
Ambas son lindas terry al igual q elvis tenía un vozarron
CLARO la fama de elvis era superior
I listened to and danced Terry's version. For me it´s unmatched
Every part of this song is great, and those background voices are so haunting, so filled with intrigue, so perfect for this song.
