Always On My Mind – Elvis Presley

The song “Always On My Mind” was first sung y B.J. Thomas in 1969.

It has been covered by many popular artists since including Willie Nelson, Brenda Lee, Pet Shop Boys, John Wesley Ryles, Susan Boyle and many others. I’ve gone with the Elvis Presley version as that’s the one I know best 🙂
