Suspicious Minds




Written by Mark James (who also wrote " Always On My Mind ", which Elvis was to record later), the song was recorded along with at least another two hit singles,
" In The Ghetto ", and " Kentucky Rain ",in the so called "Memphis sessions" of January 1969 . He first performed the song at the Las Vegas Hilton on July 31, 1969, and the 45 Rpm Single was released in the fall. It reached #1 the week of November 1 and stayed there for that week. It would be Elvis's final #1 single in the US before his death (" The Wonder Of You " in 1970, " Way Down " in 1977 and a posthumous remixed release of " A Little Less Conversation " in 2002 all hit #1 on the British charts, followed by re-issues of several previous chart toppers in 2005).

Notable in this song is a fade out at about 3:22 into the song, which fades out for about 15 seconds before fading back in. This fade out was intentional, as it helped convey a message of relationship in the song. {Link without Title}
