Willie Nelson won a Grammy for this song, why Elvis never got a Grammy for his version of the song is beyond me. As Elvis kills Willie Nelson's version in my humble opinion. But then again the Grammys are anti Elvis, only won three Grammys in his lifetime and all for Gospel. Not one Grammy for Rock 'N' Roll if that's not anti Elvis what is!!!

Elvis Version the best

Elvis is immortal. Discovering Elvis is an amazing journey. He is timeless. look up to his 70'a live shows they are masterpiece,his stage presence and charisma are unbelievable.

Elvis voice is so beautiful, it makes me wanna cry 😭

One of the best apology songs in history.

I don't think he ever got over losing Priscilla..........

Elvis was just the King; although he said the real king was God. He had four genres of music *rock, GOSPEL, country and rockabilly* . In four Hall of Fames. If you've never heard him sing gospel you are missing a lot. I'm 64 and his start in music was before I was born.

Nearly 50 years ago now , it still chokes me this song and video reminding us of happy times for Elvis

✌✌✌

Always loved this song the most as you can hear in his voice how much it comes from his heart.

Harri you are 100% right when you said that if Elvis was still with Priscilla at the time of his death, his life might have been saved. Certainly she would have pressured him to take a break or get a health check when his physical body was deteriorating. Love your great comments.

The one and ONLY Elvis Presley!! There will never be another artist like him.. This song tears at your heart.. Cheers Harri.

The Voice Elvis Presley !

Another Elvis song that is very similar is memories it gets me everytime, great reaction...♡

The king ! 👑 RIP EP you never left the building because we are still listening to you in 2023 ! ❤️❤️💪🏻

After Elvis‘s break up, a friend of his wrote that song for him. Beautiful lyrics so meaningful.

He is still a god even after all these years on. I was bought up on Elvis records . I still love ❤️ his music.. what a total legend.. xx

Even though it is speculated and I believe truth that he had many affairs during his marriage there has to be a reason that Priscilla has always loved him and keep his legacy alive outside of the money

After his February separation from his wife, Priscilla, Elvis recorded "Always on My Mind" on March 29, 1972. The song was released as the 'B-side' of the "Separate Ways" single, which was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for sales in excess of one million units. It was listed as a double A-side single.

A clip of this video is in the movie "Elvis On Tour" and I believe that was released in 1972. He recorded the song in March of 1972. Priscilla left him in Feb of 1972. So it was all fresh. The divorce was final October of 1973

Best song ever 😢 Peace from France ❤

Many people they think this was dedicated to Priscilla but wasn't. I saw a video of an Elvis concert on youtube where Priscilla was in audience and Elvis talked about it, saying it had nothing to do with her. He asked her from the stage if it was true and Priscilla replied that the song had nothing to do with her. Elvis simply said that it was a song he liked, nothing more.

I loved seeing him laugh and smile and having fun ✨ that video of him in the car looking so lonely and sad breaks my heart. He was very lonely, you can be very very lonely even if people are around you…that’s me. I Love You Elvis, You Sweet Sweet Man, R. I. P.

You are right about this. He and Priscilla were already separated she was seeing someone else. The divorce was finalised in 1973

Elvis does such a beautiful job on this! Love it! ♥️🎼🎶🎵🇨🇦🇨🇦

Wonderful song🙏🙏

So emotional always makes me cry beautiful voice

Beautiful song, and it was my favourite Elvis song for years.

I agree with you -

I feel this song as it's like looking back with 20 20 vision and more mature, I feel I could of treated various people better looking back, and them me, but thats life right... Give us perspective to improve

❤love you

oh yeah they did a movie titled “Elvis and Me” about his relationship with Priscilla and the wedding ring set the actress wore was identical to my grandmother’s who i happened to be watching the movie with and we were tickled to death that they had the same rings and henceforth my grandmother’s rings were referred to as “the Priscilla Presley Rings” and my grandmother left them to me when she died🥰 god bless her soul and Elvis’s too🙏😇

Hey buddy, I believe, for me, Elvis sings (I’ll remember you), check this one out. I think this was more about her then always on my mind.

Really sad yeah

❤❤❤

My favorite Elvis song and I stumbled upon your page. Great reaction Hari.

They loved each other even though they divorced. They came out from their divorce holding hands. They neither one ever married.

Try Separate Ways by Elvis. It has the same sentiment and is from the same recording session.

This is one of many songs Elvis can expose his voice ( the greatest vocal cords that God had ever created! ) in my opinion!! No other performing star past and present will ever come close to this man’s voice and stage performance!!!

Another sad song by Elvis, Old Shep

Don't think he ever got over her.

Harri ,thank u for reacting to this song.Willie Nelson covered it and I would sing it to my wife even after she left.

This was a cover. It's a country song that's been around a long time. Elvis could take any song and put so much emotion into it that you can't help believing it's personal.

Just remembering all the Elvis songs i had heard.....never a single bad note

Priscilla was the only woman that he really loved...and she him

Hard to believe that Elvis never wrote one single song huh? Wow!!! But he sang them all and how!!

I must say; You are one of the very few, who do reaction videos, that are genuine, true and with integrity. I beg of you, do not cease. Thank you.

“Always On My Mind,” (made famous by Willie Nelson) a hit that won the Country Music Association’s 1982 Song of the Year and Single of the Year awards as well as the Grammy Awards for Best Male Country Vocal Performance, Best Country Song, and Song of the Year. It was written by Wayne Carson. Songwriter Wayne Carson explains how the beloved song came together : “I wrote those two verses of ‘Always On My Mind’ living in Springfield, Missouri, and I usually write from the melody. I’ll think of the melody or the chord structure or something … If the melody is singable, the words are not far away. It’s only a story, you know. In this case, ‘Always On My Mind’ happens to be one of those things that, universally, everybody on the planet has been there, you know. And it struck all at one time. Everybody touched base with that one. It was just magic that it was so simple and so right on the button." I like your reaction because it is authentic and original. Do you do suggestions for reactions? Could you please do a top #1 hit called " I Go Crazy" by Paul Davis!! Find the live version. Thank you!!

He sang this song to say sorry to her as they broke up because Priscilla was lonely as he was always away working and when he was home he always had the memphis mafia who were family ,school friends and Army buddies around him so they never had much time together !

So true

Elvis did tell Pircilla he recorded that song for her, he never was the same after his divorce, theres also a recording where his performing in Las Vegas, after his divorce, Pircilla is in the audience, and he sings the Song It's Midnight, and as his singing the song he says Listen Cilla as he sings Its midnight, a very sad song ! The King Elvis ! The Greatest Of All Time !

Love this song.love elvis.

Me ocurrió igual a mi. Esa voz!!! En ese momento entendí porque fue tan famoso. Sencillamente se metió en mi corazón. 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Absolutely beautiful song so emotional@!

I just lost my husband of 38 yrs and he would sing this song to me. OMG the memories.

This Elvis version was the key song played at my Dad's service .. It was our way of acknowledging to him that although we loved him and often thought about him, we ( and particularly me ) probably didn't express it enough to him in words and actions when he was alive .. And we believe he felt the same way towards us .. He used to sing along to this multiple times in a row, emphasising various words .. I'm sure he was thinking about my mum when he did .. RIP Dad .. I love you dearly .. Wayne

None better period!

I watched an interview of Priscilla. She said that one night at Elvis gave her a copy of the song at his father’s house. She doesn’t speak much about those days. A lot of phone calls, confusion, and emotions between the two. I cry every time I hear this song.

There’s nothing in Elvis’s songs that are bad

This came out shortly after his separation from Pricilla 😢✌🏼

He loved Priscilla til the day he died. Never got over the divorce. If you look into eyes, you can see the sadness. We love and miss you Elvis. You could sing anything.

I was SO blessed - got to see Elvis when I was a little girl (8ish) My mom was so 'inclusive' with the music we had ! So Iconic - SO powerful !! Thank you !!

Makes me wonder if they had remarried maybe he would still be with us 💔💔💔

It was during the time they were breaking up. Thanks for your heartfelt reaction.

Elvis recorded this in 1972

I knew Wayne Carson, the primary writer of this song, very well. He was my dad’s best friend and he was around our house all the time. He had many other great songs and hits. I encourage everyone to look into his catalogue if you are into country or R&B. Even Ike and Tina Turner recorded his song Soul Deep, and another huge hit was The Letter done by the Boxtops and Joe Cocker. He has many others.

Beautiful song

Priscilla was so gorgeous.

Can never listen to this without crying, there’s another version of this on KZfaq with a different video attached and it anything it’s even more emotional

This song was personal. You can hear it. The other one is, “It’s Midnight”.

Listen to Elvis singing how great thou art it will blow your mind

Wayne Carson, Johnny Christopher and Mark James wrote this song in 1970. It was first recorded by BJ Thomas in 1970..Elvis covered the song in 1972 and it only reached number 16.. Willie Nelson covered the song in 1981 and the only version to reach number one on the charts winning him a grammy....To date it is the best version of this song.

BJ. Thomas sang it first but didn't release until 1996. The American music studio recorded for Elvis. Try BJ.'s version it's great too.

Love this song. Yes, its a very sad song of regret. I love The Pet Shop Boys' Xmas Number One with this back in the 80s. Also, Willie Nelson has a version too.

Always on my mind was written and sung by Willie Nelson

Me too

Willie Nelson and Pet shop boys did this as well.

Your reaction is spot on. I always love when you add some good advice too. From what I have read, he begged her to come back to him many times, especially near the end. Heartbreaking.

It was not written by Willie Nelson. Mark James (Suspicious Minds) co-wrote it. Nelson got a Grammy for his performance of the song... Elvis only got 3 Grammies, but only for his Gospel songs. Go figure!!

Maybe this one has something to do with Priscilla, but there is one he definitely dedicated to her but couldn't record it 'I will always love you' from Dolly Parton. Elvis sang it as they were leaving the courtroom after getting divorced, she said that was the most unusual divorce ever, he held her hand the entire session and sang this song beautifully. Elvis wanted to record it officially and Dolly was more than willing to accept, but the Colonel asked her for half or all the royalties, I don't remember well, and she had to refuse of course. Dolly said she cried that night because she saw the sadness in Elvis face, and also she would've liked to hear her own song with that wonderful voice.

It is a very sad song as per usual Elvis sings it beautifully thank you Harri Willie Nelson sang it as well 😷✌👍

Song originally by Willie Nelson. React to Hurt-rwally sad

The best thing that ever happened to me was when I went to an Elvis Presley concert when I was 11years old in 1974 and elvis put his hand on my head

Seperate ways by Elvis is a good follow up to this song Definately about the split between him and Pricilla

Harri, another great reaction. This was so poignant, with Elvis singing over a montage of film clips of him and Priscilla. And my God...she was stunning!

He gave this song to Priscilla. Sad.

Willie Nelson 🎶🎶

love this song so much! Elvis💜 I heard a rumor he’s over on Martha’s Vineyard just a few minutes away from where I live but I haven’t gone looking for him yet😂 Willie Nelson does a beautiful version of this song😍 I believe many artists have coveted this but none come to my feeble mind right now. thanks for another great selection 🙏🦋🌈🌞💜

Was also done by Willy Nelson

Love your reactions, especially to Elvis. To your point about music transporting one- Trisha Yearwood (married to Garth Brooks) has a tune ‘The Song Remembers When’. Beautiful!💖

Sung by Willie Nelson, he has acquired vocals.

I love your reactions you seem like a really good guy you put a lot of passion and thought into the things you’re saying your reactions are the reactions I look for. I am now a subscriber

@Harri- Just wanted to let you know that the original artists of this great song was Willy Nelson. It is indeed a very sad song but Elvis did it better than anyone.

Willie Nelson was the artist that recorded this song

He met his future wife when he was stationed in Germany. He got permission from her father to bring her to the states. She was 14.

Priscilla has recently said that Elvis GIFTED this song to her and that she would not give any details about that. So this song definitely was for her!

A little bit of History which is good there when you're hearing music and want to know what was behind the scenes of it and all that you sang the song some people said he wrote it I don't know but he sure recorded it cuz for his wife because he was going through a divorce at the time and he was pouring his heart out in the song to her but this song millions and millions and billions of people could relate to it for sure

Love the Willie Nelson version of this.

It might be angelina jordan singing to her late grandpa you are thinking on.

willie nelson wrote this and his version (especially live) is also hauntingly beautiful. please give it a listen. newer subscriber here and love the channel :)
