The first Top 10 hit in four years for the King was another message song, much to Colonel Parker’s displeasure. He didn’t want Elvis to alienate the fan base, but those concerns were disregarded. The track almost wound up with ex-NFL lineman Rosey Grier; producer Chips Moman thought better. This had a working title of “The Vicious Circle” but Mac Davis changed it prior to giving the tune to RCA. It was another in a string of tracks Elvis recorded back in Memphis, the first sessions in his hometown since 1956. Great understated vocal, and an all-time fave of mine.
