Besides "Suspicious minds" and "Allways on my mind" he also wrote "Moody blue". Those 3 songs are classics now. Hats off to Mark!!!

For Mark James to have written just one of these songs for Elvis would have been wonderful in itself, but to have wriiten all that he did is remarkable. The link on "Always On My Mind" above, took me to an advert for Willie Nelson's cover version of this song!

Yes, the above link to "Always On My Mind" leads us to the cover of this song by Willie Nelson... And it should lead anyone to the original recording by ELVIS. It always makes me furious when somebody thinks this song was originally sang by Nelson... and it happens many times to my regret. Why does ElvisNews.com have this link as it is? This song should lead everyone ALWAYS to ELVIS...

On a guided tour of Memphis, I was informed that Willie Nelson wrote "Always on My Mind" for Elvis. I corrected the guide privately at the end of the tour, saying that Willie Nelson merely covered the song many years after Elvis' version. I was told that I was wrong!

But what a stupid thing to say... he (or she) wasn't absolutely sure, he should keep his mouth shut. I have the song "Always On My Mind" recorded by W. Nelson and Mark James is there mentioned as the author. Indeed, Kilburn Tony, you have reasons to be more furious than me...
