Elvis Presley – Moody Blue

Do you know?

Elvis Presley’s final studio album, Moody Blue, was released on June 30, 1977, just two months before his death. It is a fitting swan song for the King of Rock and Roll, showcasing his incredible vocal range and versatility. The album features a mix of uptempo rockers, ballads, and country standards, and it is considered to be one of Elvis’ finest works of the 1970s.

The title track of the album, “Moody Blue,” was written by Mark James, who had previously written the Elvis hit “Suspicious Minds.” It is a beautiful and haunting ballad about a man who is struggling to deal with the loss of his love. Elvis’ vocals on the song are simply stunning, and it is one of his most moving performances of his career.

Another highlight of the album is the cover of the George Jones hit “She Thinks I Still Care.” Elvis’ version of the song is just as good, if not better, than the original. He brings a new level of emotion and intensity to the song, and it is one of the most memorable tracks on the album.

The album also features a number of other great songs, including the uptempo rockers “Way Down” and “My Way,” the ballads “Unchained Melody” and “Pledging My Love,” and the country standard “Little Darlin’.”

Moody Blue was a commercial success, reaching number one on the Billboard Country Albums chart and number three on the Billboard 200 chart. It also spawned the hit singles “Moody Blue” and “Way Down.”

However, the album’s success was overshadowed by Elvis’ death on August 16, 1977. He was only 42 years old. Moody Blue became Elvis’ final studio album, and it is a fitting tribute to his incredible talent and legacy.

Here are the lyrics of the song: Moody Blue

Well, it’s hard to be a gambler
Bettin’ on the number
That changes ev’ry time
Well, you think you’re gonna win
Think she’s givin’ in
A stranger’s all you find
Yeah, it’s hard to figure out
What she’s all about
That she’s a woman through and through
She’s a complicated lady, so color my baby moody blue,Oh, Moody blue
Tell me am I gettin’ through
I keep hangin’ on
Try to learn the song
But I never do
Oh, Moody blue,
Tell me who I’m talkin’ to
You’re like the night and day
And it’s hard to say
Which one is you.

Well, when Monday comes she’s Tuesday,
When Tuesday comes she’s Wednesday,
Into another day again
Her personality unwinds
Just like a ball of twine
On a spool that never ends
Just when I think I know her well
Her emotions reveal,
She’s not the person that
I though I knew
She’s a complicated lady, so color my baby moody blue,

Oh, Moody blue
Tell me am I gettin’ through
I keep hangin’ on
Try to learn the song
But I never do
Oh, Moody blue,
Tell me who I’m talkin’ to
You’re like the night and day
And it’s hard to say
Which one is you.
