Song of the day

You'll Think of Me

A great song, with perfect vocals by Elvis and superb backing, recorded at the "Memphis Sessions" of 1969. This is my favorite song from the LP "Back In Memphis" and it is a song that I never get tired of hearing. It doesn't have the emotion of the big ballads of the 70's ("You Gave Me A Mountain" etc), but there is just something about this song that makes it irresistible. I remember first hearing this song as the flip side of "Suspicious Minds" and I remember thinking how different it was from anything he had recorded previously. Later Elvis would do songs that are similar in structure such as "The Next Step Is Love", "It's A Matter Of Time" and "Thinking About You" and while I enjoy those songs, this one is a better, in a word, perfect.
