first up,
we have a b-side of a 1964 single,
the a-side was the title track to the "kissin cousins" movie, this one was not from the movie
and IMO is one of the best ballads he ever song....
it was written by Charlie Daniels and Bob Johnson.....
Charlie Daniels was known outside of the US for his megahit "the devil went down to Georgia" 15 years after he wrote this one....
Bob Johnson was a producer who produced apbums by Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan to name a couple,
dut due to his contract with Columbia records he would be in breach of that contract if he was mixed up with other labels, thus
he gave writing credits to his wife Joy Bayers,
Joy was credited with writing or co-writing numerous songs for Presley through the 1960s...
Presley revisited the track in 1968 and sang it at his "comeback special" tv special as he thought the track
was worthy of more than being a forgotten song hidden away on the b-side of a single, and I have to agree with him!
anyway,
here is the track I have picked to open the proceedings in this thread:
