Elvis Presley

The King of Rock 'n' Roll recorded many other songs during this session. Priscilla Presley mentioned two of the songs from the session that became hits.

“In the Ghetto,” “Kentucky Rain,” and “Suspicious Minds” respectively peaked at No. 3, No. 16, and No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. “They’ve been threatening the colonel that if Elvis didn’t have a recording session soon, they were going to re-release some of his old songs.” Notably, he recorded other classic songs during the “Suspicious Minds” session. “What a contrast to sessions in the past that had been filled with anger, frustration, and disappointment, resulting in late arrivals or, on occasion, no-shows.” In her 1985 book Elvis and Me, Priscilla discussed a session Elvis had at the American Sound Studios. “[Elvis’ manager Colonel Tom Parker] stayed away from this session,” she wrote. Elvis Presley‘s “ Suspicious Minds” is one of his most famous songs.
