King Recorded: May 26, 1963 Location: RCA's Studio B (Nashville, TN) Lyrics: Don't do that, please stop it Please stop it now You know I can't take it Please stop it now My head is spinning a spell on me now My head is spinning around and around My head is spinning around and around Your witchcraft has got me Keep going down and down Let me forget her, don't mention her name You know it brings back that old burning flame It hurts to know that she doesn't feel the same I can't go on since she left me alone My one desire now is to cry, now to cry She might come back one day by and by and by First released as a B-Side on the Bossa Nova 45. Also appears on the following CD's: Elvis' Gold Records Vol. 4 The Lost Album (For The Asking) Collector's Gold Worldwide Gold Awards Hits Vol. 2 - The Other Sides From Nashville To Memphis Today, Tomorrow, and Forever

addition: the original version was recorded in 1955 by The Spiders.
in the Timex Frank Sinatra show Elvis performed Witchcraft (Sinatra version) but this a different song. Frank Sinatra recorded his cover version in 1958 while this original version was recorded in 1957 by Garry Matthews. colonel snow --------------------  |

I like Witchcraft more than Bossa Nova Baby. Because it was a studio song and not film song.

I sing this song quite often. Of course I don't know it all so I am always singing the same parts. I think it's a rockin' tune though

Hi Rusty Welcome to the forum (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Witchraft was one of the songs on the 8 track tape that Dad kept playing over and over again (only one he had)- subjecting me to listen to 'that old guy' that Dad kept insisting was really really good.....and look at the results Agree - aways uplifting to hear Witchcraft -for me - for sentimental reasons as well --------------------  |

Witchcraft is a real gem. I still can't believe that it was a "B" side. This song stands on its own and should have been an "A" side, IMHO. This is one of the real gems from the '60s which shows that Elvis could still deliver even while making the movies.
