The Wonder of You - Elvis Single Review
Single Review
Elvis’first live recording on single,it came as a welcomed surprise in July 1970,spending a massive 21 weeks on chart,one of his longest runs.He’d not scored a top spot for five long years,since Crying In The Chapel.It also marked Elvis’triumphant return to the concert stage following an eight year absence.He was clearly rejuvenated,and it shows in this lustrous vocal performance,captured at Las Vegas.It’s got cabaret written all over it.Becoming disenchanted with his film career,he was eager to tackle strong new songs,so it was particularly disappointing when Suspicious Minds was denied the UK #1,only top be pipped by the bubble-gum classic Sugar Sugar by The Archies.Justice was done when the Wonder Of You did the trick.Tragically it was the last one he would live to see.
Next week:Way On Down.
