Just listened to an interview with the late Gordon Lightfoot who said that of all the other artists who performed his songs, this was his absolute favorite.
@@monzermasri8141 Yes it is; heard that exact song played on an AM radio station when I was 14 (from the "Elvis Now" album, by the way). Probably the first version of the Gordon Lightfoot classic that I ever heard, & remains one of the very best.
pulled off the highway in 77 when the radio announced his passing, 92 visited Graceland and had an out of body experience 23 watched Austin Butler's Oscar worthy invocation. And yet with all that I just discovered this by accident. Can't believe how good it is.
One of this black Detroit chick's favorite Gordon lightfoot songs and Elvis Presley songs. Elvis rich deep voice was so beautiful and the best rendition of this song. Love my Canadian songwriters thanks Gordon lightfoot and love elvis Presley forever!
Elvis and Gordon brought people together, no matter what color or nationality. I’m a Southern white guy who loves Elvis, Gordon, blues, and Motown. RIP Gordon…
His catalog of soul touching songs unknown to the majority & casual fans is incomprehensible. It's like all the collective body of favorites from 3 or 4 bands you love combined, only these are lost to the masses as a whole & often only known & enjoyed by a smaller group. It's just wrong that these beautiful masterpieces are like lost treasures hidden deep in the ground to most people.
Yes I have always known that. I wish someone in Hollywood would use some of those forgotten gems in modern motion pictures Possibly ,opening the vault to the world, Even though he is the most celebrated entertainer in history, he is still Underrated.
I'm 67, When I was 15 and music gets more in life, progressive rock ( Led Zeps, Pink Floyd and also) impacted me. But Elvis was My Best balad singer, Elvis forever the Best voice, godspell and blues💗
We lost a great man my heart is broken for ever however God's 💘 love flows in my veins Elvis was a truly remarkable and gifted man he touched so many generations and culture; s he inspired and yet he was. Loved by many troubled by few a man haunted by things in life like me. If only someone would have reached out to him he would still be here loved and never forgotten your brother in Christ your friend .
I think this was Elvis' way of honoring the Great songwriter! I had the pleasure of seeing Gordon live in concert. He and his two-piece group made some wonderful music.
Elvis was suffering from severe glaucoma while he was recording the song. But he still gave it his best shot. He ended the recording session after one night.
The first verse of this song hits home, I had to relocate 350 miles away from family because of a accident I had . This morning it's raining and I think I played this song 50 times...teary eyed!
Hang in there, God Bless and Keep you! I love this song too, it touches my heart. You're not alone, ok? Just came across your post while listening to the song and just wanted to cheer you up!
I'm sorry. Back in 1991, I was in the hospital after giving birth and I was up there by myself and I just cried. Jesus is with you, and has been with me even though I didn't always know it.
@@mindybelt6120 I get that but I've had weeks where I haven't spoken a word out loud because I don't know anyone here. My kids are more into texting than phone calls.
I am glad that Gordon Lightfoot gets the recognition for this beautiful song. Elvis covered it beautifully but he never sung anything original. I wished Elvis was allowed to sing his own song choices instead of everybody's else's songs....
.. where the liquor taste too good and the pavement never grows … I will always love this song as one of his most spiritually connected to what he was saying. For a boy from Tupelo and a man who lived in Memphis , the drag of traveling to play, to do what you love, must have made him homesick..& you can hear it in his words
Hit after hit after hit. Forever and ever your voice penetrates the heart in such a way that you want it again and again. How much power and softness there is in his divine voice. The G.O.A.T
I just listened to "Suspicious Minds" yesterday on RUclips. Elvis knew how to sell a song. His voice is incomparable. I believe this song was written by Gordon Lightfoot, another musical legend.
@MarcosBryant-gk1jv As a RUclips singer-songwriter myself, I admire Elvis for his ability to go against the grain of the time period. I released "Sunburned Mind" today, which is about the pain of adultery. My music tends to be on the chancy side as well.

Cannot express how much I love this version 🔥🔥🔥
There are special humans who make a difference to the rest of us.
They leave the world a better place.
Elvis was one of them.
He shared his music with us.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊
Agreed
Absolutely!!
So true❤
RIP Gordon. Great Song.
Elvis gives a marvellous rendition of this wonderful song, penned by Gordon Lightfoot who passed away Tuesday evening. R.I.P.

GORDON LIGHTFOOT LIVED TO BE 84.
Early Morning Rain"
In the early morning rain
with a dollar in my hand
And an aching in my heart
and my pockets full of sand
I'm a long ways from home
and I miss my loved one so
In the early morning rain
with no place to go
Out on runway number nine
big 707 set to go
But I'm out here in the grass
where the cold wind blows (Elvis sings "where the pavement never grows!" 🕯️)
Where the liquor tasted good
and the women all were fast
And there she goes, my friend,
she's rolling down at last
Hear the mighty engines roar -
see the silver wing on high
She's away and westward bound -
far above the clouds she'll fly
Where the morning rain don't fall
and the sun always shines
She'll be flying o'er my home
in about three hours time
This old airport's got me down -
it's no earthly good to me...
'Cause I'm stuck here on the ground
cold and drunk as I might be
Can you jump a jet plane
like you can a freight train?
So, I'd best be on my way
in the early morning rain
So, I'd best be on my way
In the early morning rain
So, I'd best be on my way
In the early morning rain.
So, I'd best be on my way
In the early morning rain
So so Awesome
7 months since your reply. Its been a long time since he died. Sad i didnt or probably would have never get to attend one show.
Rip to gordon great song
Just listened to an interview with the late Gordon Lightfoot who said that of all the other artists who performed his songs, this was his absolute favorite.
Like a velvet hammer on top of every note with perfection. Mercy.
Not bad for a truck driver from Tupelo
♥️ 👑♥️
I know...We could have had so much more...I guess going thru 2021 and 2022 makes you wanna go back..
Soothing voice.
Love Love Love Elvis no other way to put t
Goodbye Gordon Lightfoot. I love Elvis’ rendition of his song!
I heard that Gordon Lightfoot said Elvis did the best version of this song including his own.
Link?
Gordon said a lot of crazy things when he was drunk.....
That is not Elvis Presley..
@@monzermasri8141Yes, it was Elvis, believe me. Elvis was just rehearsing the song there, there are studio and live versions of it. A good song.
@@monzermasri8141 Yes it is; heard that exact song played on an AM radio station when I was 14 (from the "Elvis Now" album, by the way). Probably the first version of the Gordon Lightfoot classic that I ever heard, & remains one of the very best.
Like a favorite blanket the sound of Elvis wraps me in comfort bringing great memories from yesterday!
Thank you, 👑
That's a beautiful statement and I agree of course ✌️
❤
Speechless. One of my fav Elvis songs of 70s. Awesome.
Amen
not his song
@@bsnf-5 no but it's an elvis song when elvis picks it up to sing
Gordon Lightfoot wrote it, Peter, Paul and Mary made it famous but my favorite version is Tony Rice's
Who cares…. The interpretation is worth more.

RIP, Gordon Lightfoot. Thank you for the song. Thank you. Elvis, for this version.
There are no words...just listen and enjoy.
August 16 2024 checking in.RIP Elvis.It's been 47 years since you passed.
I will always LOVE this song! definitely one of my top favourites! Thank you for such a beautiful song Elvis❤️
When Gordon Lightfoot heard Elvis version he loved it.
So beautiful. Two greats. Lightfoot and Presley. R.I.P.
Great chill song. He sure could paint a picture of a rainy day. Im 38 and a metal head but Elvis is badass.
He definitely put a neat spin on this Gordon Lightfoot classic. This is my first time hearing this version
Totally agree
I'm 67, When I was 15 and music gets more in life, progressive rock ( Led Zeps, Pink Floyd and also) impacted me. But Elvis was My Best balad singer, Elvis forever the Best voice, godspell and blues💗
Funny u say Metal head. I am too!!!! This IS a great chill song...........
He always amazed me!!! Wonderful voice! Love you Elvis Presley forever R.I.P. ❤️🙏🤴🎤🎼🎵🎶🕺🏾
I am 12 hours flying away from my loved ones and i miss them a lot . Thank's Elvis for this amazing song.
Great song! Beautiful lyrics. No autotune! One superb voice! Truly MAGNIFICENT 🥰🥰❤️❤️
Song written by Gordon Lightfoot - RIP.
Can it get more beautiful than this?❤️
This one has quickly rose to my top favorites. I can listen to this over and over long live the king!
From Brazil, always loving Elvis.
@marciavitoria7018 hello 👋 Brazil 🇧🇷
American legend🇺🇸👍🏻
Elvis sings this song so beautiful
"ELVIS IS THE KING"
Divine perfection. Love you, Elvis.
The King. Nothing else needs to be said.
Love listening to this incredible version.
I have always enjoyed listening to Elvis sing this classic.
The Best Ever 👌 👍
Man he did such a great job on this
Songs just pop into my head, seemingly out of nowhere, in the morning. So I had to find this on RUclips. Such a great song!
Awesome!!
You can fight on this one, but this cover is better than the original. I believe his deeper voice paints the picture of the song for me.
Not disagreeing here
In the original by Peter Paul and mary, the 2 guitars are a bit stressful to me
100% agree with you.
@@CdieSilberblume but the original was Gordon lightfoot
thats true
Here in 2024 🎉 hello from Ireland 🇮🇪
May you be in heaven a half hour before the devil knows you're dead! 😊
We lost a great man my heart is broken for ever however God's 💘 love flows in my veins Elvis was a truly remarkable and gifted man he touched so many generations and culture; s he inspired and yet he was. Loved by many troubled by few a man haunted by things in life like me. If only someone would have reached out to him he would still be here loved and never forgotten your brother in Christ your friend .
I'm a Elvis fan but the whole Memphis Mafia tried to get him help definitely Red and Sonny tried to help their friend
🙌👏Beautiful song from great Elvis, the Man was a Legend and always will be most Shining star of all eras.... 😔

@@mindybelt6120 Thank you for the kind words. But the loneliness is getting to me.
I'm sorry. Back in 1991, I was in the hospital after giving birth and I was up there by myself and I just cried. Jesus is with you, and has been with me even though I didn't always know it.
@@mindybelt6120 I get that but I've had weeks where I haven't spoken a word out loud because I don't know anyone here. My kids are more into texting than phone calls.
Love this song
Gutted we never got that Elvis Folk album and pure blues album he was planning to do in 1971
One of my favorites ❤❤😅❤❤❤❤❤❤
One of the greatest voices of all time!!!
Beautiful elvis 🎶"
Hi Tina 👋🏻 I see you love Elvis Presley!so for how long have you been an Elvis fan?
Gordon lightfoot was a great songwriter, ELVIS did this song justice
Gordon Lightfoot passed yesterday.. Canadian Icon
This was the only song I knew of his, but a dear friend posted the Edmund Fitzgerald ballad of his, & it's wildly genius.
Totally awesome
Can there ever be a doubt that Elvis was the greatest?
No
There will never be another Elvis. Love this song as only he could sing it.
Hadn't heard this one before. It's a goodin'. In the flavour of Nilsson's 'Everybody's Talkin'.
Gordon wrote it way before. It is his spice.
Hermosa canción m llena de nostalgia k mi bello elvis se haya ido tan pronto lo amo comoa todas sus canciones es y será mi rey para siempre❤️❤️❤️❤️
Of all the songs to learn on guitar, this is one of them. Sad song with a lovely tune.
I am glad that Gordon Lightfoot gets the recognition for this beautiful song.
Elvis covered it beautifully but he never sung anything original.
I wished Elvis was allowed to sing his own song choices instead of everybody's else's songs....
NEVER AN ELVIS FAN, BUT THIS VERISON OF G. LIGHTFOOTS SONG IS GREAT
The Man .
One of my favorite of elvis song thanks for sharing
.. where the liquor taste too good and the pavement never grows … I will always love this song as one of his most spiritually connected to what he was saying. For a boy from Tupelo and a man who lived in Memphis , the drag of traveling to play, to do what you love, must have made him homesick..& you can hear it in his words
Only one king in the world Elvis earn Presley
Wow his beautiful voice still amazes me ,I cried when he died the whole USA was so sad for a long time
Amazing song written by Gordon Lightfoot.....
The King.....
Hahaha, the King?? Of??? He never came close to achieving what the King of Rock did! 😂
RIP Gordon Lightfot
Fantástico 👏🏻👏🏻
Hit after hit after hit. Forever and ever your voice penetrates the heart in such a way that you want it again and again. How much power and softness there is in his divine voice. The G.O.A.T
Amo Elvis Presley! 😍💖👑👏👏👏👏
Gotta love it!!!!!!Love ELVIS ALWAYS,,NEVER FORGET HIM....😊
Elvis' voice is superb in and for this song, and the dual guitar parts by James Burton and Chip Young are just magnificent!!
Wow beautiful song Beautiful

Three great and different renditions of this song. Gordon, PP&M and Elvis. All great artists.
Eva Cassidy's version is worth a listen as well.
Great job on a great Gordon Lightfoot song!
PRECIOSA CANCION EN LA PRECIOSA Y MARAVILLOSA VOZ DE MI ADORADO Y PRECIOSO ELVIS PRESLEY, GRANDE UNICO SOBERBIO ETERNO, SIEMPRE ELVIS.👏🎸🙌🎙️🤗♥️
i was searching for this song right now!

My very favorite song ever sung by Elvis. Sang on the Aloha From Hawaii Special.
O timbre da sua voz com os acordes e arranjos dos instrumentos tornou-se a música ainda mais linda. Obrigada por nos compartilhar com este presente...
I feel this is Elvis at his best and some of his finest work was the uncelebrated tunes 👌
Love this❤

SO DESCRIPTIVE YOU FEEL YOU ARE RIGHT THERE WITH THAT SUPER LONELY STATE OF MIND, YET SEEING A POSSIBILITY OF AWE IN THE EARLY MORNING
🌷🥀🎶🎙️🎻🎸🥁🎹
GORDON LIGHTFOOT LIVED TO BE 84.
Early Morning Rain"
In the early morning rain
with a dollar in my hand
And an aching in my heart
and my pockets full of sand
I'm a long ways from home
and I miss my loved one so
In the early morning rain
with no place to go
Out on runway number nine
big 707 set to go
But I'm out here in the grass
where the cold wind blows (Elvis sings "where the pavement never grows!" 🕯️)
Where the liquor tasted good
and the women all were fast
And there she goes, my friend,
she's rolling down at last
Hear the mighty engines roar -
see the silver wing on high
She's away and westward bound -
far above the clouds she'll fly
Where the morning rain don't fall
and the sun always shines
She'll be flying o'er my home
in about three hours time
This old airport's got me down -
it's no earthly good to me...
'Cause I'm stuck here on the ground
cold and drunk as I might be
Can you jump a jet plane
like you can a freight train?
So, I'd best be on my way
in the early morning rain
So, I'd best be on my way
In the early morning rain
So, I'd best be on my way
In the early morning rain.
So, I'd best be on my way
In the early morning rain
Noting compares to Elvis or ever will Rip
He sings it low key like he is suffering. I like it.
GOAT. There's only one.
Wunderschöner Song ❤
that snappy tune snuck up on me
Hermosa canción, con la interpretación del gran Elvis suena aún mejor
This man really could sing anything
Raw, earthly, …. Love
Miss Elvis
Ein sehr schöner Song.Eine wunderbare Stimme.👏👏👏👏
