Backed up by the Arizona country band Mogollon back in 1986 for the 1987 season of " Backstage Pass" this is the complete song.-Produced by Joel Samuel for his television show joelsamuelpresents-
By request- thanks for watching and spread the word!
BTW- Terry the Consummate Entertainer performed this without ever practicing with the band.They said they could do it so he said he would give it a go and impromptu exclusive live performance is a testament to the man. RIP Terry Stafford- joelsamuelpresents

Suspicion" is a 1962 song originally recorded by Elvis Presley written by Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman. It became a major hit in 1964 in a recording by Elvis Presley sound-alike Terry Stafford. Amarillo by Morning was written by Terry Stafford and Paul Fraser.

On this day in 1964 {March 28th} Terry Stafford performed "Suspicion" on the late Dick Clark's 'American Bandstand' Interestingly, exactly seven years earlier on March 28th, 1957 another Elvis sound alike, Ral Donner, was attending an Elvis concert at the Chicago's International Amphitheater {tickets were $2.00 to $3.50} Stafford's "Suspicion" entered the Top 100 on February 22nd, 1964 and peaked at #3; two years earlier the original version appeared on Elvis' 1962 album 'Pot Luck with Elvis'

Elvis recorded the song first.. and it was an album track on the "Pot Luck" album. RCA didn't release Elvis version' of the song, as a single until after Terry's version had been released as a single. Too late and a missed opportunity for RCA and Elvis. The faster tempo and the girls doing the backing vocal.. add some magic to Terry's version. Both Terry Stafford and Elvis Presley do a great job on this song.

On this date in 1964 {Feb. 22nd} "Suspicion" entered Billboard's Hot Top 100; eventually it peaked at #3 and spent 15 weeks in the Top 100. Ranked 22nd on Billboard's Year-End Hot 100 Singles of 1964 chart... Originally recorded by Elvis Presley in 1962 for his album "Pot Luck with Elvis"... This version reached #31 on the U.K. Singles chart; in 1976 Elvis released his version in the U.K. and it peaked at #9...

Wow this is like 22 years after it was a hit and yet Terry sounds great, yes the back up band was terrible and it doesn't have the organ in the mix which made it sound so cool on the record. Does any one else think it was hard for him to sing it because he was trying so hard not to laugh at the back vocals/

Folks that criticise this perfomance should remember that no live playing is going to be like the original recording no matter who you are. Also If you cant hear yourself or the backing properly singers find it difficult to find the correct pitch all the time. I thought this was very good considering Terry was with a different band.

After listening to Elvis's version it now seems obvious that a lot of Terry's arrangement was copied from Elvis's version. The big difference is the female backup which Elvis version does not have. It does wonders for the song! I once read in an Elvis bio that some young singer had heard an unreleased song at Elvis's home (in California I think it was.) The story goes that this unknown singer got the song out and Presley was peeved, but did nothing. He said, "Let the little b___ have his hit !"
