| Studio Sessions for RCA December 10-16, 1973: Stax Studios, Memphis |
| On the final night Elvis' voice sounded stronger and clear than it had at the beginning , as if the sessions themselves had been a kind of healing process. Accompanied by exceptional playing from Pete Hallin, Elvis sang with passion and conviction on Dottie Rambo's spiritual number "If That Isn't Love." Elvis Presley's career had never seen a year of greater highs and lows than 1973. From the triumph of Aloha From Hawaii Elvis had gone into a tailspin of failure on all fronts: plunging record sales, divorce, problems with his health and his weight. Now, just days before Christmas, at the conclusion of a set of sessions forced on him by his record company, there once again was a reason for hope. Felton Jarvis had recorded eighteen new songs in a week, and Elvis, Tom Parker, and RCA could have been forgiven for believing that another turnaround was still within reach.

| He left the splendor of heaven Knowing His destiny Was the lonely hill of Golgotha There to lay down His life for me And if that isn't love Then the ocean is dry There's no stars in the sky And the little sparrows can't fly Yeah if that isn't love Then heaven's a myth There's no feeling like this If that isn't love Even in death He remembered The thief hanging by His side Then he spoke of love and compassion And He took him to paradise And if that isn't love Then the ocean is dry There's no stars in the sky And the little sparrows can't fly Yeah if that isn't love Then heaven's a myth There's no feeling like this If that isn't love It's got to be love Words & music: Dottie Rambo Recorded: 1973/12/16, first released on Good Times |
