Suspicious Minds

I have 2 favorite Elvis songs...Suspicious Minds and Always On My Mind.
I was five when the King died.
I remember being at a neighbor's house jumping on my friend's bed when my stepmom came in to tell us that Elvis died.
I remember lots and lots of tears being shed by the adults.


"Suspicious Minds" is a song performed most notably by Elvis Presley, and was widely regarded as the single that jump-started his career after his successful '68 Comeback Special. It was Elvis's eighteenth number-one single in the United States. Rolling Stone later ranked it #91 on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. ~wikipedia



Always On My Mind~
Elvis Presley's version reached number 16 on Billboard magazine's Hot Country Singles chart in early 1973. Brenda Lee's version had stalled at #45 on the country charts in 1972. ~wikipedia

Nicely done, Jen, nice entry.

It must have been a theme that occupied him. He did another song called "Suspicion" on the album "Pot Luck" from 1962.

I was going to post the lyrics to Suspicious Minds on mine
but ended up not doing it for some reason.
You've given me the impetus to add it to my iPod songs tho'.
Thanks!
