If you are a fan of Elvis Presley, you might be interested in learning more about one of his songs, Mary in the Morning. This song was recorded by Elvis on June 5, 1970, at RCA Studio B in Nashville, and it was written by Johnny Cymbal and Michael Rashkow. It was originally recorded by Al Martino in 1967.
Mary in the Morning is a romantic ballad that describes the narrator’s love for his partner, Mary, who is the most beautiful thing he sees in the morning and in the evening. The song expresses his gratitude for sharing his life with her, and his desire to hold her close and love her again.
The song was included on the classic 1970 Elvis album That’s The Way It Is, which featured four songs recorded live during filming of the movie of the same title. However, Mary in the Morning was not one of them. It seems that Elvis never performed this song live on stage, even though he gave it a full stage rehearsal on August 7, 1970, at the International Hotel in Las Vegas. This rehearsal was filmed by MGM and spliced into both versions of the movie That’s The Way It Is. It is possible that Elvis never intended to sing this song live, and that he only rehearsed it for the benefit of the cameras.
