Suspicious Minds

Suspicious Minds is a song written by Mark James. After the failure of its original version in 1968, it became one of Elvis Presleys biggest hits when released in 1969. The song tackles the trust issues within a relationship and is considered one of Elviss signature songs. It was notable for rejuvenating Presleys career, marking his return to the charts after a series of commercially unsuccessful movies.
