Suspicious Minds - Elvis Presley

On January 22, 1969, recording work continued in Memphis. The big evening was just a prelude to the final song, done in the early hours of January 23rd.

Songwriter **Mark James** had quietly released a song produced in the studio the previous summer on the New York-based Scepter Records label. It didnt chart, but producer **Chips Moman** remembered how good it was and offered it to Elvis.

The two dug in together and across multiple takes of varying magnificence, creating a Presley masterpiece and eventual #1 hit. It was called Suspicious Minds.
