This is the first time I've heard the vocal version of this song. Smile

Sounds just like he did it on the record other than the bass doing the opening pickup notes rather than a flat-top.

Hi Roger, that song was written by a couple of good friends of mine and a lot of others on the west coast in the 60s. Thier names are Vern Stoval and Bobby George, Elvis recorded the song and of course made pretty much a hit. They have written several others that were recorded by some of the other known stars. Bobby George passed away in 70 or 71 of a brain anurisuim (not sure of the spelling) he was only in his 30s, same thing happened to my other wife at 33/ Vern lives in Dallas now I think, he was the one that did the vocal on Phil Baughs, Country Guitar. db

What a great song!! I have heard several wonderful recordings of it. Keith Whitley's comes to mind.

Instrumentally I prefer Curly Chalkers version of "Long Black Limousine." Cool
