Many people don't realize Elvis' version came out before Willie Nelson's. I prefer Elvis' version myself, Willie's was too slow and monotone for me. Surprised Elvis' version wasn't a bigger hit.

This is a sweet, soulful waltz. I love the piano playing. I believe it was done first by The Intruders; The Whispers did it also but I like The Force MD's version better. @Pecos

I love The Counting Crows version! I was in a store and thank goodness for the Sound Hound app. I let it listen to find out what it was and purchased it when I got home. It's in my Rock/Pop playlist and I play it often.
