| Studio Sessions for RCA March 18-19, 1962: RCA's Studio B, Nashville |
| The group that gathered once more in RCA's Studio B in Nashville on a March Sunday was in many ways a carbon copy of the group Elvis had been working with for two years. Chet Atkins and Steve Sholes were still formally in charge, but as usual Elvis ran the show. Bill Porter was the engineer, and almost all the usual musicians checked in. The gap left by Hank Garland/s incapacitating accident had been partally glossed over by Jerry Kennedy during the "Good Luck Charm" sessions, but Chet Atkins knew they would need to do something more to fill Hank's shoes in the long term. No greater tribute to Garland's genius could be paid than the fact it took two of Nashville's most celebrated guitarists, Harold Bradley and Grady Martin, to fill the bill. *Guitarist Hank Garland, who'd lent such fire and authority to Elvis's sound since June '58 session, had suffered serious brain damage in an automoble accident; he was replaced by the less versatile Jerry Kennedy, leaving Scotty Moore back in charge for the first time since Elvis had returned from the army.* One of the last songs of the session, "Suspicion," was another rhythmic departure, but this time it had hit written all over it. Elvis had saved the best for the last; the song seemed built to showcase every little vocal trick in his bag, without ever devolving into parody.. Recorded March 19, 1962. Singles: Kiss Me Quick/Suspicion, April 1964 Gold Standard Series Original release LP: Pot Luck. Terry Stafford had a number-three hit with his version of "Suspicion" earlier in the year. *The Complete Recording Sessions by Ernst Jorgensen* *All photos on this page were made by Sue, Banners, Animations, Guestbook, Home & Mail by Tamara for anelvisfan2001.com.

| Ev'rytime you kiss me I’m still not certain that you love me Ev'ry time you hold me I’m still not certain that you care Though you keep on saying you really, really, really love me do you speak the same words To someone else when I’m not there Suspicion torments my heart Suspicion keeps us apart Suspicion why torture me Ev'rytime you call me and tell me we should meet tomorrow I can't help but think that you're meeting someone else tonight Why should our romance just keep on causing me such sorrow? Why am I so doubtful whenever you're out of sight? Suspicion torments my heart Suspicion keeps us apart Suspicion why torture me Darling, if you love me, I beg you wait a little longer Wait until I drive all these foolish fears out of my mind How I hope and pray that our love will keep on growing stronger Maybe I’m suspicious 'cause true love is so hard to find Suspicion torments my heart Suspicion keeps us apart Suspicion why torture me Words & music: Doc Pomus/ Mort Shuman |
