What you're doing to me
When you don't believe a word I say
We can't go on together"
An old friend returns to our top 100 countdown for 1969 with this song that ranked 21st for the year. What song was this that Elvis took to Number One, the last chart topper of his career?
The correct answer is 'Suspicious Minds'
It had indeed been a long dry spell for Elvis in terms of hit records but 1969 marked his return to the charts in a substantial way. Earlier in the year, he scored with a Mac Davis composition,“In The Ghetto”, which peaked at Number Three, and he followed it up with this song written by Mark James, a long time Memphis writer/performer. The last Number One hit Elvis had prior to this was seven years earlier with “Good Luck Charm” and his last top ten effort was “Crying In The Chapel” in 1965. In the interim, he did have charting records, normally pap from the “B” grade movies he starred in, but they found favor only with devoted fans and would generally peak in the high teens, at best, on the charts.
James himself released a virtually identical version of the song in 1968 but it went nowhere. When Presley heard it he became infatuated with it and insisted on recording it. It was normal practice in the Presley camp that they would receive publishing royalties for any song that Elvis covered. Record producer Chips Moman owned the copyright for “Suspicious Minds” and adamantly refused such an arrangement but Presley was so keen on recording it that they took the unprecedented step of agreeing to James' terms. With Moman in the producer’s chair, Elvis brought to the song the passion that was apparently lacking in James’ original and this hit evolved out of the partnership.
