“Suspicious Minds” #1 11/1/1969

The 18th and final Billboard pop #1 for Elvis, his first since 1962’s “Good Luck Charm.” It was written and first done by Mark James and completely bombed. The song was then given to Elvis, who recorded the tune at a January 1969 all-night session. The 45 has a false fade-out that frustrated radio DJ’s. The King’s regular producer, Felton Jarvis, added it after the fact. He felt slighted since Chips Moman was at the controls during the actual recording. Hey, it was Moman’s studio.
