Brenda Lee Version[edit]

It's too bad that for this awesome song, people think of those who have covered it instead of the original artist. ANONYMOUS

I've never even heard the Brenda Lee version. I love the Pet Shop Boys version. Elvis' version is great, and Willie Nelson's version has got a lot of heart. Would it be ok to add the chords to this page, or is that considered non-encylopedic?--Compost 20:37, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Michael Bublé Version[edit]

It's a little subjective to consider Buble's version against the trend of his recording career. He sings a broad range of styles and his latest CD reflects this with a divers range of tracks with big band arrangements. His interpretation of this song is excellent, with a jazz feel but very much in the spirit of the original composition. --Jppigott 04:26, 8 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]


I agree with the above comment. The song has been arranged for Bublé as a jazz piece. Perhaps the comment about it "going against his normal jazz repertoire" should be edited. Ltig3 04:43, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Presley alternate version[edit]

I've heard two versions of Presley's interpretation - one with a string arrangement, and one with an electric guitar playing the solo. Which is the definitive version? (if there is a definitive version) Drunkenmonkey111 (talk) 01:46, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

foreign langauge covers[edit]

This song has been covered in other languages too, e.g. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMu8-w2lhvY Kowloonese (talk) 18:23, 24 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's a long shot - you posted seven years ago - but the covers section talks about a Mandarin adaptation for a 1984 album called Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils / Impulse / nu hai ping zong. Is this something to do with the 1982 TV adaptation of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils? -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 19:39, 26 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Claim that BJ Thomas recorded the song first[edit]

The claim that BJ Thomas recorded this first is not linked with solid references, or any references for that matter. The claim can be found on a few click bait style articles, and that's about it. The Rolling Stone version of history was what was on the Wiki page for many years: "First recorded by R&B singer Gwen McCrae and a minor country hit for Brenda Lee, it was Elvis Presley’s emotional version, recorded as he was divorcing wife Priscilla, which reached the Top Twenty on both the pop and country charts." Unless there is solid proof otherwise, that is what should stand. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.218.216.205 (talk) 02:09, 13 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Elvis UK sales[edit]

It did receive a Silver Award but this is for digital sales - so 200,000 not 250,000 which was the figure for physical sales. Coachtripfan (talk) 07:28, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
