70s songs by elvis that later became hits for country acts

Hey guys so i always found it to be pretty cool that when the judds did for the heart and when travis tritt did T-R-O-U-B-L-E they became hits just wish they were bigger hits when elvis recorded them..... (yes i know for the heart was a b side)

"Always on my mind" should count too..

T-R-O-U-B-L-E was a hit for Travis Tritt but Elvis still had a bigger hit with it.

I think those three cover it.

"Always on my mind" should count too..

Pet Shop Boys aren't country

"Always on my mind" should count too..

Pet Shop Boys aren't country

LOL...I am learning from you DJC.....pick pocketing info from IMDB and making out you have some inside knowledge.....dear dear

I recall playing a version of Mr. Songman by Slim Whitman back in the day. Don't recall it becoming a "hit" as it were, but we played it in light rotation for a short time.

Elvis wasn't the first to record it, but he had "Spanish Eyes" on his "Good Times" album. It was later a #8 hit for Willie Nelson and Julio Iglesias in 1988.

Is anyone else surprised that ''Don't cry daddy'' and ''Kentucky rain'' never became popular cover songs for country artists in the 1980s and 1990s.

Because I always was.

They were good songs. Which country artists recorded them?

No one has to my knowledge.

That's my point you'd think country artists would've covered them but none of them did.
