i also have one...oops I just told my age
I love Willie Nelson but really Elvis could not be best on that song just like all the other songs he sang from other people
@@GetaldineWhite Totally agree. I am a huge Willy and Waylon fan from back in the "Outlaw" days but you can't compare The KING's version to Willy's. It's unfair to Willy. 😂 ⚡️👑⚡️
that s Elvis s song for sure no ones sing it like he do he was living that song for sure love it!
No comparison...Elvis was on another level with this song, vocally and with arrangement ❤
Always on my mind is always associated with Elvis in my mind, but I'm from the Uk where it was a big hit.
Yes it was. Luckily it was put on the A side. You may not have heard it if it wasn’t
Also so many artists sang can’t help falling in love but Elvis
Did it best
A group called Lick the Tins did a cover of it that's pretty good.
Yes I totally Agree! He Sang it, with that Special Voice of his, n it should have been A Great Hit!! Love it😊
Elvis just had the voice and the emotion perfect
I prefer Elvis version to any other version. Pep Shop Boys also did a great version, but still Elvis is better. The same happens with the song "My Way." Elvis version is, in my opinion is way better than Sinatra.
Sinatra was a crooner with an ultra-smooth delivery, and the lyrics to My Way are more suited to Elvis's interpretation: a guy giving the finger to the world and living his life on his own terms.
@ballybunion9 that's true. Even though Paul Anka, the writer of the English version of this song, said he wrote it with Sinatra in mind. He said that he begged Elvis not to cut the song because it didn't suit him. I disagree with him. This is a sad song. Sinatra lived almost a perfect life. Elvis, on the other hand, was miserable by the end of his short life. And when he sang it live, he sang it with passion, as if it almost hurt him to sing it. In Sinatra's version, I don't get that passion and feelings as I get with Elvis.
Agreed 💯
I agree 100%
NO ONE can match Elvis. Period.
Love the song and I agree it would have been good had Elvis sung it at the Aloha concert ! I will always associate it with Elvis even though it was also sung by Willie Nelson ….. Elvis took it to another level and you can’t help the emotions Elvis’ version brings out in you when listening to it ! Xx
Willie has some emotion that emanates through the song but Elvis definitely ADDED the emotion with his physical mannerisms
I think when Elvis sings a song you can actually imagine it’s something he or the person listening to it has experienced ! I think Separate Ways is the same it’s as if he’s singing about his own situation. He has that unique way of pulling you in and making it personal…. I don’t think many singers can do that xx
There is no comparison. Elvis is the BEST. And when he made his own version of a song, he did it better than the original.
ELVIS FOREVER 👑❤️👑
I sort of think of both! I like both versions but I always would pick Elvis’ s voice first as that is his first best asset!
I totally agree with you again. Always on my mind should have been the A side and with promotion could’ve been a huge global hit. He also should have done it live for sure. Why he chose not to do it, only Elvis himself would know that.
It’s a great song! Very emotional and heartfelt. He nailed it with his performance.
Here in Chile this song is pretty famous and related to Elvis
Thank God 🙏 😁 I'm always happy to hear when people from other countries know about, and like Elvis, because he sadly never got the chance to tour other countries as he wanted to. If he had the chance, he would had been even more famous.
ELVISISTHEMAN Channel I agree with some of the comments. I only care for Elvis version of Always on My Mind. He didn't disappoint me in the least bc he sang it beautifully.❤🎉😊
Elvis Sang it BEST, love his version❤
The writer of this song, Mark James passed away on June 8th. I always loved this song since its release on Separate Ways. I especially like the mix of the orchestra version that was released as a single in 1985. Thanks for the video.
Thank YOU
Two sad and somewhat depressing songs, for that reason I often do not listen to them all the way through but I guess that's just what he was feeling and going through at the time... Fool... I'm Leavin'... etc.
Loved I’m Leavin’
Wow I didn’t realize both those songs were on the same record…. Thats double tears for me 😢 both are so sad
My biggest Elvis singles regrets are Suspicion , Girl Of My Best Friend and Always On my Mind. Wish they would have put a little more into them then make a single or A side from them. All three hits for others.
The first 2 really show off his voice! Favorites of mine
They were all big hits in the UK
Always loved that song 🎵 Elvis sang with great emotion and power.. lmagine if he sang that on stage !
Elvis' version is also better. I love Willie Nelson, he's a legend, but Elvis wins with this song!
I agree. Willie is the man, but Elvis owned "Always on my mind"
Elvis hands down.👑👑👑👑
Elvis's version trumps all others because of his voice and arrangements. No comparison. I definitely agree that the song should have been the A-side instead of B and a bigger hit for Elvis.
Elvis version all the way!
❤️🇦🇺
Elvis version of this song is filled with emotion and I always prefer his heartfelt interpretation. For me there is no comparison...❤
Preety sure this was voted top in fave elvis songs
Yep, agree. Tbh, never heard Willie nelson sing it, so I've always known it as an Elvis song. Willie's version here sounds flat, whereas Elvis' has beautiful harmonies in it (but that's our Elvis) 😁
Yes, would have been good in Aloha too. 👑
I agree 100%. I had a cassette tape of Elvis playing the song back in 80s and when Willie came out with his version I thought it was 3rd class to Elvis’ cover of it.
Well I've listened to Elvis and Nelson singing this song and I think by a well earned margin Elvis will always be the best in singing it sorry Nelson xxx ❤❤❤❤❤❤
MEMPHISROCKS1; Great Video; Love This Song By ELVIS. There Is No Comparison Willie Nelson's Version Is A CRIPPLING Take On The Song And CANNOT CAMPARE To ELVIS PRESLEY'S Version. Like In The Past They Wouldn't Give ELVIS PRESLEY The Recognition And Credit He Deserved. ELVIS IS THE KING OF MUSIC AND ENTERTAINMENT FOR A REASON.
Yes, yes and *YES!!!* 💯 🎯 🫡
👑 ✨️ *T⚡️C⚡️B* ✨️ 👑
This song earned Elvis a gold record.
I think the reason this song was not a huge hit for Elvis was because it was on the B side.
Us older people know that back in the day the B side song was always a throw away song or a song that was not expected to be a big hit and people never took B side songs seriously.
Another song by Elvis that should've been a huge hit but was just okay and never became a huge hit was "Suspicion" and "Suspicion" was also on the the B side, it was on the B side of "Kiss Me Quick". Most people have never heard "Kiss Me Quick" and how "Suspicion" was not considered to be a better song than "Kiss Me Quick" is beyond me and how "Always on My Mind" didn't become a huge hit for Elvis is also beyond me.
B side songs just were not considered hits but Elvis had so many Great songs even his B side songs were huge hits.
I didn't even know this was sung by someone other than Elvis tbf. I always things it's perfect for his feeling for Priscilla
- - - - - forgetting the moments in Elvis' life that we tend to correlate to the song, I otherwise vacillate back & forth between EP & Willie. This is one of the few songs that on any given day, I can go either way. Willie's version doesn't get bogged down in all those strings, his voice is superb in this period, and it's right up fron (not lost in instrumentation), and that unique guitar playing solo hits the spot.
On day's that I want more drama, more depth, more emotion, I go with EP.
I love Willy and am a huge country music fan but his version cannot be compared to The KING's version. Not surprising because Big E puts a cap on every song he does. I would say that it's just my opinion but what it is-is fact!
👑 ✨️ *T⚡️C⚡️B* ✨️ 👑
He definitely owns every cover he does!
@@ElvisistheMan_ For sure...that's one of many reasons Elvis is the Man! 😉⚡️
Nu e doar părerea ta ,e un fapt, într-adevăr...ăsta a fost Elvis!Îmi place "o sole mio"dar cântat de Elvis, cu toate că a schimbate versurile, e super....și de neuitat ❤
I never heard that but Elvis was the best
Beide Versionen sind Fantastisch . Elvis und Willi haben einen einzigartigen Stil und bringen das gleiche Gefühl auf verschiedener Weise .
Gruß und Danke von Stephan aus Hamburg Germany
I think the release on the b side WAS a big mistake, even tho the A side song was brilliant. This should have been an A single release, and it is much better than Willie’s version as Elvis sang it, and Willie virtually talked his way thru it. I do like Willie Nelson tho too, and a lot of his songs.👌😎
Said goodbye to alot of my people with this song but only elvis versions.plus separate ways another saying goodbye regret song.
I just love too hear Elvis Presley! Sing !! ❤️
"Separate Ways" was a good commercial single for Elvis in the 1970s. "Always" is stronger, but neither side was an ideal follow-up to an almost No. 1 rocker like "Burning Love."
I think "TROUBLE" was a top 10 country hit in 1975. It was in the pop top 40 for a few weeks, too.
Elvis by far❤
Elvis had the best version by far. Willie is a great writer but no way he can compare with Elvis at interpreting a song.
No way. Elvis was the best at that
@@ElvisistheMan_ Can't agree with you there. Elvis had a different style to Willie which may not be to your taste but ultimately Elvis' version was an interpretation of the original song in his style Doesn't make it better just different. Just like many people think Elvis trashed Hound dog if you compare his version to mama Thorntons !
I think whenever Elvis covered a song, he made it his own. Adding more passion and feeling than the original in most instances.
@@ElvisistheMan_ yes, he always said if you cover another persons song you should do it better.
@@ElvisistheMan_ There's no doubt one version of Always on My Mind is sang while the other is almost spoken. Many people do not know the Elvis version is the problem.
Elvis blew Willie out of the water on this one.
Elvis would have been first to cut the song, and many others, had Colonel Parker not been so damned greedy. His contract was written in such a way that if he didn't get a cut out of the publishing rights, or own them outright, then Elvis wasn't allowed to cut the records. There's no telling how many hits have fallen by the wayside, along with untold millions of dollars due to the colonel's greedy policies. In addition to all of his other shady deals, he worked Elvis like a dog to cover his gambling debt, which led to Elvis's steadily increasing use of various uppers and downers to meet the demands and satisfy his contractual obligations. Colonel was just as responsible, if not more so, for Elvis's untimely death as anyone else! Greed killed Elvis Presley. May he rest in peace.
The creative mistakes made by his management team are mind boggling. Great tracks like It Hurts Me were b sides to mediocre songs. The great 69 sessions with American sound were never built on. At least in the UK, Always on my Mind is considered an elvis classic as it was released as an a side and made the top 10.
I will take Elvis's version anytime that I will Willie Nelson's to me he's slaughtered the song I'm not a Willie Nelson fan never have been never will be
AGREE COMPLETLY
Ditto.
Willie sucks
Not sure why, but I never was big on Willie Nelson. Seems like he talked/sang some of his songs if that makes sense.😊
@@bigfan2479 how can you consider talking singing I don't like him never have never will
Everytime i hear Elvis' version of anything i like it the best. Just me i know, but i think its his giving heart that draws me to put him #1 no matter what. ❤
He never sang in concert, not once ever, that is one of the great mysteries to me. I think you are completely wrong and you are the first person I ever heard saying this is not a well known Elvis hit. This song was a hit in Europe/england for elvis
I never said it wasn’t a well known hit.
I T A 100% with everything you said David. My husband prefers Willies version. I'd take Elvis version every time!
I preferred Seperate Ways. It was a good pairing for a 45 single. Mark James wrote Moody Blue and Suspicious Minds but it was a collaberation on Always on My Mind. I prefferd the Elvis on Tour take.
Hi I only like Elvis version not Willie Nelson Version. The 3rd version was much better your right. Thank you for your channel I love Elvis and Love your channel God Bless Much Love Jean from Hollywood California
Heard the song in 79 when I was 10 then my mom was saying she liked Willie's new song Always on My mind and she never knew Elvis originally made it.
Willie ruined it.
Elvis's version can't be touched by anyone.
It was big thing in our house when Willie's came out of how good Elvis' was and how bad Willie's was.
Take 3 of Always on my Mind gives me chills. I think its appreciated more today than it was then
Definitely Elvis had the better voice, nothing against Willie , he is talented but in all fairness , EP is hard to top.
I remember that one time, there was a video of Always On My Mind on RUclips, which had more views than Willie Nelson's version.
I agree with you 100% about Always on my Mind should have been on side A. I loooove this song as I listen to it over and over again❣️
Yes! Had wondered why Elvis wasn't more known for that song, having done the song originally. I really loved his version of it. Willie had a hit but I think of it as Elvis' song.
Correction: This song may have been done by other artists before Elvis. I've been looking up info.on this, but some info. is conflicting about who did it first.😊💖
Just so you know, Brenda Lee was the first person to sing this song
@@lindahamilton-uf7ys Really? I usually do a fact check and did think he was the original.
Thanks for the info. I'll do some research.
Brenda Lee is an amazing talent.
@@lindahamilton-uf7ys Also, found some info. that says a singer named Gwen McCrae released the song before Brenda Lee.🤔
@@lindahamilton-uf7ys You're right about that. Brenda Lee and many other's recorded it and yes, she did it first. I was waiting on someone to say she did it first. Thank you
Here is some Info. that I found: Always On My Mind fun fact from: RamblinGamblinWillie
// Article
A common and popular mistake is to state that Elvis recording of Always On My Mind was a cover of an original Brenda Lee country hit. In fact, Always On My Mind was written for Elvis Presley by Mark James (Suspicious Minds) and it was recorded by Elvis in March 1972, before anyone else. It happens that RCA had already sheduled songs from '71 to be released as the first two singles during the first half of 1972, and then in the summer, it was Burning Love, from new batch of songs of the March session, the first one to came out, and so, Always On My Mind by Elvis, happened to be released until November '72, by then Brenda Lee, who recorded the song after Elvis, had released her version achieving a country hit with it but failing the Hot 100.
There are special artists AND special SONGS. BUT no matter how special a song or person IS its worth nothing if no one uses them right . Just like elvis's movie career. He was a great actor but no one knew his potential till it was too late.just like those songs Elvis himself didn't know their potential.
I first heard it on the "This Is. Elvis" Soundtrack. I like that one.
I prefer Separate Ways over Always on my Mind. Not really sure why, I just do.
@KlippityKlop1 That makes two of us! For me Seperate Ways was emotionally and vocally superior. It hits in "the feels" harder for me. Seperate Ways is in the top 10 of my all time favorite ELVIS classics. 🥹🫡
👑 ✨️ *T⚡️C⚡️B* ✨️ 👑
My vote is for take 3
💯
Come on guys its Elvis song the greatest ❤❤❤❤
Its so underrated, its a great track,the emotion he feels is sublime, yr probably right because red wrote it, wn version us BORING /=DuULL, the was like a clock on his wrist,lol
Was an A side in England, and a top ten hit!
i really love the version with the strings on it, It's really Pretty, Oh and gives you Goose bumps to,
Didn't He Dedicate this song once to Priscilla in a concert, And it was the one and only time that
he would Ever Perform it on stage. I may be wrong, But Im'e Pretty sure he did. Anyway i love
Both versions of the song, Especially when willy Nelson first started to sing it live much like he
would sing it on the record, Then he would ether only sing a short version, Or do his oddly timed
Lyrics Style to it and i never liked it so much when would do this to it. Respect to Willy though,
because if we didn't have His version, We wouldn't have had The Kings version, So for that thanx
Willy, They are both Legends in there own wright, Although Elvis will always be NO 1, Great video
Mate, I enjoyed your video very much, Nice one pall.
The Elvis' way as interpreter is uncomparable.
I agree Elvis did it better
It was a hit in Europe. It was the a-side in the U.K. where it was a top ten hit, and went gold. It also got to no.4 in Canada. I`m sure it could have done as well as "Burning love" had it been a a-side in the U.S. I also agree that he botched the setlist for the Aloha From Hawaii. He should have done more commercial songs instead of Beatles covers and other pretty unknown songs. Aloha could have been a great opportunity to premier hits like "Good luck charm" "Return to sender" "Devil in disguise" "Don`t" "Surrender" "His latest flame" "One broken heart for sale" or "Crying in the chapel"
Yes! Elvis definitely didn’t need to sample other artist when he had such a vast collection of songs! I also think it’s because it was not on an A side in the US when the UK it was. The song still did very well for him overtime and became a legendary song of his.
@@ElvisistheMan_ Absolutely. The Elvis version of "Always on my mind" is the one people go to. Willies version is too slow. It would had been just an average song had it not been for Elvis`s version. Elvis made it into a fantastic song. Willie Nelson is a fantastic artist who i admire a lot, but he didn`t do a good job with "Always on my mind"
Nonsense. Not a thing wrong with his Aloha song selections!
@@mikeivey7167 Why would he do a Beatles cover as his third song. The original version of "Something" is much better than Elvis`s version. I would rather want him to do "Always on my mind" or some of his older songs that he had never done live.
He was doing a tv-special for the whole world, and not his regular Las Vegas act. He treated it like a Las Vegas show instead of a tv show.
I think the song selection for his 68 comeback show was much better. He did his own material, and he played the songs people wanted to hear.
"Something" "It`s over" and "What now my love" could and should have been left out of the set for his tv special. Elvis never played "Good luck charm" live even though it was an international no.1 hit.
He stopped doing "In the ghetto" in 1970, and never sang any of the songs of his fantastic "From Elvis in Memphis" album. He could have done "Any day now" or "Wearing that loved on look".
If he wanted to do songs like "Something" or "It`s over" he could have done it in Vegas. The people who produced his 1968 special had a lot of input in which songs Elvis should play. The people who produced the 1973 Aloha did not.
That is why the 68 show is a classic, while the 73 concert was a regular Elvis concert. The 1973 show could have been much better had they treated it as a worldwide tv show instead of a Vegas concert. He should have played his own international greatest hits instead of cover songs.
"The wonder of you" was the biggest selling hit in the UK in 1970 where it sold 1 million copies. It sold more in the UK alone then it did in the U.S. It was also a no.1 hit in many any foreign countries, and sold millions worldwide. It should have been played at his Aloha concert.
I think the Aloha concert was a missed opportunity for Elvis. His song catalogue was second to the Beatles the greatest in history. He had so many great hits to choose from.
I think he should have done "The wonder of you" "In the ghetto" "Good luck charm" "Return to sender" "Always on my mind" "Any day now" "If i can dream" "Crying in the chapel" "Surrender" "Don`t" "Are you lonesome tonight" "Love me tender" "She`s not you" "One broken heart for sale" and "It`s now or never" just to mention a few.
They were all international big hits for Elvis, and would have suited a global audience like this. Elvis wasn`t performing for his usual home audience. He was performing for the world.
Cred că a fost sfătuit prost, în orice caz nu au prevazut impactul pe care îl va avea concertul din Hawaii, nu au crezut că va fi atât de mult urmărit...nu știu ce s-a întâmplat....Și eu cred că avea de unde să aleagă, din atâtea cântece...nu vom ști niciodată, dar dacă ar fi avut mai multe concerte afară, în afara USA, alta era situația, ar fi avut "experiență "!
You made spot-on comments, take 3 of AOMM was the better version, imo, and this song plus T-r-o-u-b-l-e should have been big hits. Elvis surely promoted the latter a lot during his 1975 tours. If one compiles the best rock/blues/funk Elvis tracks from the 70’s, studio and live, one ends up with an absolute killer record. I don’t think the record company has ever tried to do that, it would prove how much Elvis rocked in his later years, when he wanted to.
Yeah Elvis promoted T-R-O-U-B-L-E a lot in ‘75. It’s funny he started to get more traction on the country charts in his later years. But, a lot of his tracks were a little more country/rock
@@ElvisistheMan_ Absolutely… I think in only relatively recent years is there more recognition (still not nearly enough imo …) of how special Elvis was as a cross-over musician, in every phase of his career, and certainly including the 1970’s: who else was mixing it all up, basically conducting all the other musicians in the studio (as well as live on stage), self-producing his own records in terms of arrangements, tempo etc, and coming up with something fresh every time ? Some tracks and albums worked better than others, and us fans may like or dislike certain songs more or less, but if there’s one thing to be said about the 1970’s is that he was true to himself, to the chagrin at the time of the “serious pop music critics” and the rock and roll purists. The pop/rock music critics were supposedly from the new progressive generation of the 60’s, but in fundamental ways they were close-minded and musically/culturally unaware outside their own bubble. For instance not able to acknowledge that someone can go from belting out raw rock and roll and blues to a MOR gentle crooner style and breezy pop, to gospels, and more in between, and then still be the coolest cat in the room, a very much believable musician, with integrity.
I think elvis done alot better job than willie. I do believe it would of been a big hit for him
❤
Elvis nailed it with the song "Always on my mind" as he did most every song he sang. Willie Nelson is just ok but not my preference at all.
Getting off the subject, I was listening to Elvis last top ten hit Burning Love and thinking to myself that this would have been a great song for Elvis to have done a duet with of a female singer. If that had happened then I could have chosen Aretha Franklin. Can you imagine what an explosion that would have been.
You want an explosion? Imagine Bat Out of Hell done by Elvis!
They would’ve had to agree to a lot less money because Parker would’ve wrote up a sweet contract for Elvis! Lol
@@ElvisistheMan_ Yes that was the problem with Parker. Money matters overruled creative decisions.
Only his last Top 10 hit in USA, had plenty more Top 10s in the UK…American mentality is not thinking of the wider world.
I agree with you, Should been I can’t stop loving you or An American Trilogy
It’s true that’s in the 80’s Nelson’s version and the Pet Shop Boys version in Europe were more popular than Elvis version. But from the 90’s on and with RUclips Elvis version is nowadays by miles much more popular than the other two combined… the King lives on.
Always on my mind was a top 20 hit for Elvis in the USA and a top 10 hit in the UK.
Elvis made it a huge hit. Willie Nelson simply had another hit with it, but in the 70's Elvis had a big hit with it, no doubt about it. Separate Ways is another great hit for Elvis and a very powerful underrated song.
always on my mind is an elvis hit, it's a song he is most famous for .... not sure I get your perspective tbh, it's in the top 5 of elvis songs, it's definitely a big hit.
The white scarf is some kind of a karate thing he was into.
First time I heard it was on the This Is Elvis soundtrack album in 1981. I loved the song. The next year or so Nelson came out with his version. I presume because he saw the film This Is Elvis the year before. It always irked me that Elvis didn't have the hit with it. And I also prefer the alternate take 3 version much better than the released version.
It never dawned on me that Elvis could have sang Always on My Mind and Separate Ways for the Aloha show! I think you should probably create some content now on the Aloha show Elvis should have given. I will say this; i don't mind Elvis singing a Beatles song on Aloha; there's nothing critically wrong with that decision, and it also showed that he was appreciative of great songwriting. But now that I think about it, Always on My Mind should have been a no-brainer. I don't know that Always on My Mind and Separate Ways should have both been included because of the melancholy nature (though they're probably no more melancholy than I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry), though they might have paired nicely with Suspicious Minds in a relationship block. I definitely think Elvis could have sung these songs as the filler songs for the American audience. I recall hearing that Elvis tried to pair things together: couple of oldies, couple of ballads, couple of rock songs. But from an artistic standpoint, you make a good point: Elvis missed a tremendous opportunity to stake his flag in the ground for these songs on the Aloha show. Had he done so, they would have been No. 1s.
Not only on the B side - But it was on "Camden Records" an sub division of RCA records. This was a huge Mistake. Why is my question? This was a potential top 3 hit in the country - but it was "hidden" with the Camden Label". It made me sick when i heard willie Nelson sing and have ha big hit with this Elvis Song ( I think written by Mark James - Suspicious Minds writer ). Another question is Who was responsible for Promoting a Recording ? Parker ? Elvis himself ? where was Joan Deary ( the RCA Executive in charge of Elvis' records ??. thanks for this information and exposing some things that many are NOT Aware of . Great Job as Always
I think the reason elvis didnt sing this live is because it was a song that he sang about his separation from priscilla. He didnt want to sing about his heart ache about that on stage and especially not when he had a new girlfriend.
That good be. But, if you remember the song “It’s Midnight.” The lyrics are deep and one night in ‘74 he dedicated it her Priscilla. But, maybe in 72 it was still too raw?
Can't agree more. The Elvis On Tour version is my fave because of the video. I don't like the Philharmonic Orchestra version at all because it overpowers his smoothness.
(Urgent Warning) Elvis Presley's twin brother Jessie Presley the "first born male child" is "Not" buried at Graceland with the Presley family members, the reason being they cannot find the body or the Grave of Jessie Presley, Jessie Presley will be one of the Great Signs from heaven spoken of in the book of ( St.luke 21;11)"And Great Signs shall there be from Heaven", These Great Biblical signs will take place in the city of San Luis Obispo, California, The whole world will be Watching, all media's will focus on this Great Biblical event, Woe !
Brenda Lee record always on my mind first and although a elvis fan she did the best version
You should spice up the program and do some Elvis Orion comparisons
I met the writer at Joe Osborne 's house , James I think. Bad Alcoholic if I remember correctly.
One good reason is, Elvis didn't bleat 😂😂😂
Lol
@@ElvisistheMan_ Another one. If Elvis were a '56 Cadillac, Willie would be a Ford Pinto 😄😜😀
EP's version is the BEST.....hands down. But, it's ok...Elvis has more hits than the other (not as familiar) dude 💯⚡❤️
O erro do rei foi não ter cantado essa música ao vivo.
Ãnother great song written by Willie Nelson
Hello David, even though I love old country music, I've never cared much for Willie Nelson. The only song I ever liked with him singing is Angel Flying To Close To The Ground. There is no denying he was a brilliant song writer. He made an outstanding decision when he let Roy Orbison record Pretty Paper. When it comes to Always On My Mind, I'm like, Willie who ? Elvis owned this one and yes, you're right David. It should've been a number one hit and on the A side of Separate Ways. Nobody ever put so much emotion in a song like Elvis did and no one ever will again. He could have recorded Yankee Doodle Dandy and made it beautiful. Thank you David. TCB😊
I agree with you, I don’t really care for Willie Nelson’s whiny, shaky sounding voice. I think his voice is something that’s an acquired taste. Thanks for watching the video and thank you for your comment.
@@ElvisistheMan_ You're welcome David. Yrs ago my sister asked me to go with her to see Willie Nelson ( he was going to be performing 10 miles down the rd) I told her I would not drive to the end of my street to see Willie but had it been Elvis, I would crawl if needed.She knew I meant it too. ☺
lol
Willie has always said it was Elvis' song. It was meant for Elvis.
Here in the UK, everyone knows it as an Elvis song, it's only the fans that have knowledge that Willie Nelson sang it first.
Elvis' version is from the heart and you can actually feel the emotion.
The Pet Shop Boys went to number 1 in the UK with this song and I found it robotic with no emotion.
I would have loved it if he had sung Always on my mind instead of something, a sure number 1
Jeez when you actually put them next to each other you're right Elvis is so much better. I admit I'm wrong. Just do much more emotions with Elvis then Willie
There was an orchestral overdub version of AOMM think it was first released in 1985 which is in my opinion much better! They removed the steel guitar riffs which to me ruins the original version
