WILLIE or ELVIS
This, usually, turns into who do you like best, Willie Nelson or Elvis Presley.
But my query is which version of this song moves you the most ?

You Were Always On My Mind
written by: Willie Nelson
written by: Willie Nelson
Maybe I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I should have
Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I could have
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
Maybe I didn't hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you
I'm so happy that you're mine
If I made you feel second best
Girl I'm so sorry I was blind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Give me, give me one more chance to keep you satisfied, satisfied
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
I selected Studio versions for your choices
because Willie nailed every one of his Live versions .. whereas Elvis seldom, if ever, did.
So, to be fair – here’s each with their Boardmen to clean ‘em up.
* Elvis did use his backgroud group, The Jordanaires, heavily.
* Willie, basically, sang solo .. and played his own Guitar.
