"It's A Sin" was recorded at RCA's Sudio B, Nashville, March 12, 1961. First released on Something For Everybody June, 1961. Elvis saw Eddy Arnold (backed by the Jordanaires) perform "It's A Sin," at Ellis Auditorium in 1954---on the very occasion he'd told Gordon Stoker he wanted the quartet to back him up someday. It took a while to sort out the harmonies and speed up the arrangement to the old "heart ballad," but the second full take became the master. The aim at any Elvis session was to balance up-tempo material with ballads, and for the most part the rock 'n' roll songs were covers while the love songs represented original material.

     I love this song and wanted to do it for a long time. Another beautiful, but sad song. I'm sure a lot of you can relate to the words to this song, and all that's left are the memories.......
It's a sin, my darling
How I love you
Because I know
Our love could never be

It's a sin
To keep this memory of you
When silence proves
That you've forgotten me

The dreams I built for us
Has tumbled
Each promise broken
Like my heart

It's a sin, my darling
How I love you
So much in love
And yet so far apart

I'm sure you're happy with another
Who shares the love I could not win
Why pretend that you can live without me
When deep inside I know that it's a sin
