The masterpiece “Suspicious Minds” — the 18th and final U.S. No. 1 single of Elvis Presley’s career — turns 50 this month, and OZY and Sony dive deep to tell the story behind the iconic song. When Elvis Presley arrived at producer Chips Moman’s American Sound Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, in January 1969, he was looking for new material. By the late 1960s, the landscape of rock and roll had shifted beneath the man who had once ruled over it as its King. A spectacular televised “Comeback Special” the previous month had rekindled public interest in the 34-year-old performer, but he knew that any true comeback had to be grounded in the music — and that would require some unforgettable new songs. That winter in Memphis, Moman played Presley a gem called “Suspicious Minds” by a Texas songwriter named Mark James. Elvis loved it. Fifty years after its release on Aug. 26, 1969, we remain caught in the trap of “Suspicious Minds,” the final No. 1 hit of the King’s career — one that continues to rank among the greatest songs of all time. In the following immersive feature, packed with original images, videos and audio, OZY and Sony dive deep to tell the story behind the iconic song, tracing its journey through time and space, including through the minds that conceived, revived, delivered and immortalized it. |
