    Thanks Cedric.
    Like the saying goes, it's the singer not the song; this lady reminds me of this old saying. She carries, A FOOL SUCH AS I, like fresh breeze in the face. Love the lilt and backing that the Elvis one never had...

    Do write in.
    Thanks.

    Not easy especially if it's by the King.

    You're welcome. As a matter of fact I did do some research about the songs she sang and was surprised to know that she did many Elvis songs.

    Guess she really wanted to put a female touch on the songs. Why not eh?
    Songs need different variations to make it the best it can be.

    Thanks everyone for the interesting comments.
    Hopefully this lady will record more of Elvis' songs.
    Like Cedric said, a female touch with variations to turn an old song new.
    Cheers.

    Actually this song was first recorded by HANK SNOW in 1952. Written by BILL TRADER, it was on #4 of top charts.

    Elvis recorded it much much later in 1959. Jim Reeves also recorded it in 1959.
