This is my wife’s birthday so this song is perfect for the day!
For much of 1993, this song and music video was inescapable on MTV. Director Neil Abramson also directed videos for Belinda Carlisle, Enigma, Siouxsie and the Banshees, and Dwight Yoakam. Soiuxsie and the Banshees and Dwight Yoakam? The music business makes for some interesting connections. Enjoy!

Happy birthday to Alex. I’ll be odd man out because I think earlier versions of the same song are better. Musical tastes vary as much as the likes and dislikes of foods.

Yes, that’s a fair point…when Kelly Clarkson does her daily #kellyoke, she always respects the original version and doesn’t just try to replicate it, and NEVER suggests she is doing a better version – she always respects and credits the original Artist

Happy Birthday, Alex! What a perfect song! I remember this version, and MTV made it a big hit. Have you listened to the original Elvis version? That’s a winner.

Alex LOVES the Elvis version as much as she loves Elvis…we were out of town so I shared this because it was on my “reader!”
