The 41st Anniversary of SUSPICIOUS MINDS Is with us NOW ! (IMG:http://www.elvis-tkc.com/forums/uploads/1264179786/gallery_21960_29_57357.jpg) Recorded in the Early Morning hours of the 23rd January 1969 (during the 4am to 7 am Sesson) At AMERICAN SOUND STUDIOS - Memphis. "Suspicious Minds" is a song about being trapped in a mistrusting and dysfunctional relationship. Originally, and most notably, a Big Hit for Elvis in 1969. "Suspicious Minds" was widely regarded as the Single that jump-started his career after his successful '68 Comeback Special. It was his eighteenth and last number-one single in the United States. Rolling Stone later ranked it #91 on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. -------------------- |

Notable in this song is a fadeout at about 3 min 52 secs, into the song, which lasts for about 15 seconds before fading back in.
After the overdubs ~ The master has an Extra Ending added... This fadeout was intentional, as it helped convey a message of relationship in the song... and later as Elvis Started to Perform it in Vegas in August 1969 it REPLICATES the way Elvis has come to Sing it onstage... the first ending fades out~down... then slowly comes back up for the listeners... This has caught out many Radio DJs over the years. Elvis fans at the time thought if was a really cool Idea... Chip Moman the producer hated it.(...the fade out part that it....) In Vegas... the song that the audience is really Buzzing about is SUSPICIOUS MINDS. - Elvis has developed Special Karate Stance movements and Leg Stretch's in the fade down part of the Number, and a very Energetic series of movements during the complete song. He first performed the song at the Las Vegas International Hotel in the Season starting on July 31, 1969
