You guys are idiots. Nelson recorded it twelve years after it was released, even after elvis won a grammy for it.. Most people say it was Brenda Lee, but wikipedia says it was Gwen McCae which i suspect is true but she just didn't get recognition cause shes black

the original song was sung by Elvis Presley in !972
Willie Nelson recorded it in 1982
they are both great artists and even though i love the kings music i prefer the Willie Nelson version of this song
Elvis recorded this just after he and Prisilla,s marriage broke up it was written by two other guys not sure of their names you will have to do a search one on lyrics the other the music it was not written by Willie
ok just did a search it was written in 1971 by Wayne Thompson,Mark James & Johnny Christopher

There was another version played of this song (Rodney Crowell, maybe???) in the mid to late 70s that I heard quite often on a Country Station in New York (WKHK) "Kick FM" that (in My humble opinion) was the best version I EVER heard...Wished I could remember the exact name of the Artist who performed it...Been looking for this version since I got on the internet with no luck at all....In fact...That question is what brought Me here, lol!!....Oh well...Struck out again...

I would assume that most people are probably familiar with Willie Nelson's version.

Yeah, it was Willie Nelson. Personally, I prefer the Pet Shop Boys version.
