this one was never released as a single, not even a b-side of a single,
but came from the 1970 "that's the way it is" documentary and soundtrack...
it was written by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil who also co wrote many other classic tunes like:
"Saturday night at the movies", "on broadway" and "we gotta get out o this place" amongst others...
Bobby Vee recorded the original version in 1969, and was a hit for BJ Thomas the same year Presley took it
to a whole new level....
here is the brilliant live version from that documentary special:
