Every time I hear this cool song. I'll think about my late Mother Norma. This is 1 of her favorite oldies. I have this record in her honor. Like Mother's Day , Birthday.
Thank you so much for posting this! I heard this recording yesterday while shopping and went online to buy it, mistakenly looking for Elvis. Wow, and I thought I knew music from that era! That song reminds me of being a kid dancing with my cousins. Thanks for the info so now I can go buy the recording. The song is like a blast from the past...
My late mother ( Norma ). Loved this good song everytime I'll play it. I'll think about u mother (Norma). She loves her oldies music. Her other favorite songs : Tell Laura I Love Her + Ray Peterson A Letter From Sherry + Dale Ward Laurie + Dickey Lee Patches + Dickey Lee Anything songs from Tom Jones, Charlie Rich, Ronnie Dove, Engelbert Humperdinck. The Loser + The Raquet Squad I'll play all these singers in her honor. 4 Mother's Day, Birthday. I love & miss u so much.
Another Great record from 1964, I also remember when this came out and would hear this regularly out of a Forgotten Radio Station in San Diego that year. We would hang out at Oscar's drive in !!
Although Elvis recorded a characteristically superlative rendition of "Suspicion", Terry Stafford simply "owns" this song. May they both rest in peace.
I wonder if the executives at RCA were kicking themselves for releasing Elvis' original version as an album cut two years earlier, especially when you consider Elvis was in the midst of a top ten drought in 1964. The British invasion and Elvis' incessant movie soundtracks may certainly have contributed to that, but I also wondered how he felt about a soundalike getting a bigger hit than he was getting, especially with a song he had originally recorded.
Don Hawk Elvis personally despised the soundtrack songs. So much he once yelled out "What am I supposed to do with this piece of shit? " when recording "Easy come Easy Go"
Fun Fact: He never actually says the word " Suspicion" in this song,( leaves it up to the female backup singers) although Elvis does say the word in his own version!

Intriguingly so, delicious
Top Five Hit Single in the Spring of 1964.Great timing!
Reminds me of my parents, I remember hearing this song whenever they had parties in the early 70 's.
In Mexico was a version called " Sospecha" singing Ricardo Roca
Magnifique chansons !whaou, merci 🎵🌼🎻🌸,voix super chouette !🎵🌼🌸🎻🎷🎵🎶
A guaranteed #1 song if not for Beatlemania. One of the 60's finest recordings.

Thank You, my sentiments exactly..
Fr. Joseph Marquis Absolutely!
hell yes great tune
Yes. Very much an Elvis sound-alike and yes.. #3 the week ending April 11, 1964. At the height of Beatlemania too.
Thanks for a crystal clear upload!!!
The best Elvis sound alike that there ever was his version sounds better than the Kings
Este cancion suspicion Sonidos bonito mas mejor en espanol de Mejico.
Debut 2/29/1964 and peaked at #3 for ONE week on the Cashbox Top 100 Singles chart.
Another single uploaded exactly two years ago today. And incidentally, Terry Stafford had a minor follow-up single, 'I'll Touch a Star".
Most excellent work, sir! love yer channel. Share it with my favorite Uncle.

Recorded on a novelty label?
Who were the studio musicians on this? There is a little 'Telstar' 'Runaway' synth. West coast or East coast?
Got this 45 at a barn sale today, but it's a pretty song, but sounded similar to Elvis.
Sadly he's no longer with us. Ral Donner. You gotta post some Ral Donner.
