And before that happened, the artist was beaten by beauties Gwen McCray and Brenda Leigh, whose studio efforts turned out to varying degrees of chart success. The King of Rock and Roll recorded "You Were Always on My Mind" March 29, 1972, but it was not released until November of that year. We exhaled with relief and thought, 'Shit, a hit, we've got a hit! "A Halloween Gift." Elvis PresleyĪt first, many people thought the song was written specifically for Elvis Presley, who had family issues at the time, but that was not the case. "The three of us sat there in the same room and finally wrote those two lines, a bridge. And, oh wonder, they soon had a bridge! From Carson's recollections: The two men didn't make much progress, but luckily a third genius of the pen came to their rescue - Mark JamesMost famous for "Suspicious Minds" (Elvis Presley). The two already knew each other, as in the summer of 1970 they had written together "No Love at All," one of the best country hits of the 20th century, which made Lynn Anderson proud! The track intrigued Christopher, so he offered to help write the bridge.
Then Wayne went to work, but nothing came out.Ĭarson was sitting at the piano in his office when the singer, songwriter and guitarist approached him Johnny Christopher. So: at the end of 1971, Carson went into the studio to work on the song, but the producer Chips Moman listened to it and said he couldn't get anywhere without a bridge. But at first Wayne decided to leave his creation without bridge - moment that contrasts with the rest of the song and then brings you back to the verse or chorus.
Elvis Presley was the first artist to have a substantial hit with it, and it remains one of his most loved songs to this day. It all started with the fact that Wayne Carson - songwriter and the 1967 hit song "The Letter" by The Box Tops in particular - wrote two verses. 'Always on My Mind' has remained a timeless love song that has been covered by many artists over the years. "You Were Always on My Mind" was a collaborative effort. It was a big hit after graduation, and now it's great classic! And every time it comes to a cover, performers and listeners realize: There's nothing cooler than Nelson's soulful country version! It's his track, though written by other people. Perhaps for Elvis this composition was just "one of many."But for Willie.
