For some reason RCA Victor (possibly considering it as a single candidate[1]) did not include the song either on That’s The Way It Is album in 1970 or on Love Letters from Elvis album in 1971, though it was recorded during the same sessions and was thematically appropriate for both these albums. It eventually appeared on Elvis Now in 1972. However, the 2008 FTD re-release of Love Letters from Elvis contained the master version of the track (known as Take 8) as well as all its outtakes. Another version of the song, recorded on July 15, 1970 at MGM Studios during the rehearsals for the MGM documentary That’s the Way It Is and available on several bootlegs suggests Elvis’ willingness to revive the song for the upcoming Las Vegas concerts. Elvis can be heard vocalizing to the TCB Band, expecting it to accompany his vocals. However, the lackluster response from the musicians (or their unfamiliarity with the material) caused him to abandon the idea. In 1972 the song reached the top of the charts in Brazil.[2] Writing and recordingIt was written by Geoff Stephens and Les Reed. Presley recorded it on June 8, 1970 at RCA's Studio B in Nashville, Tennessee. Track listings7" single (Brazil, 1972) A. Sylvia (3:16) B.
