he always wanted to sing in a gospel group.
i love how he shares time with the imperials on this one.
he was apart of the group...harmonizing.
not out in front.

the 2nd single released from these sessions.
one of his more under-rated.
and another that should've been used on Elvis Now.
there were 2 songs that Elvis cut and considered unfinished.
one...love me,love the life i lead would be used on the fool album.
recorded in may https://youtu.be/gYAsp5iab3Y
he was onto something with this.
the other closed out these sessions https://youtu.be/D5ILs03QsoQ

i love the dark mood intro.
perfect.
