I just can't get enough of 1969 Elvis! So many great groundbreaking songs came out of this year. His biggest Suspicious Minds, an instant and timeless classic.
Do yourself a favor check out the albums From Elvis in Memphis and Memphis to Vegas/Vegas to Memphis (a.k.a Elvis is Person!)... as a friend put it perfectly earlier today; "Elvis sounded different during this period. He was as soulful and expressive as ever. But there was an edge and a different timbre to his voice. A kind of clean clear raspiness! If that’s even a thing!! I also think he was just healthy and happy... It was the beginning of a new.... everything. Sound, songwriting and audio engineers were reaching for a new decade. Elvis, I believe was mixed in all of that and he absorbed it. The result was awesome music. Still sounds fresh to me to this day.
Love to all, stay safe and keep well. - J
