This was a request for Joe Majdalani - Hope you like it Joe !
Elvis Presley had a no. 1 hit in the UK and a Top 10 hit in the U.S. with his 1970 live version of "The Wonder of You" recorded in Las Vegas, Nevada in February 1970. The song was released as a single on April 20, 1970, backed by the song "Mama Liked the Roses". In the United States, both songs charted at #9 together during 27 June - 11 July 1970. "The Wonder of You" was one of his most successful records in the UK ever, topping the UK Singles Chart for six weeks in the summer of that year. It is his fifth biggest seller in the UK to date, with sales of 891,000. It also stayed at number one in the Irish Charts for three weeks that same year. This was the 59th Top 40 hit of his career. Presley's version also reached number 37 on the US Country Singles chart, and number one on the easy listening chart.
Played on my Alan Brason custom Stratocaster fitted with Kinman FV-HMS pickups on Neck Position.Through an Alesis Quadraverb Q2 with EFTP patch 0-36.

LYRICS
When no-one else can understand me
When everything I do is wrong
You give me hope and consolation
You give me strength to carry on
And you're always there to lend a hand
In everything I do
That's the wonder
The wonder of you
And when you smile the world is brighter
You touch my hand and I'm a king
Your kiss to me is worth a fortune
Your love for me is everything
I guess I'll never know the reason why
You love me as you do
That's the wonder
The wonder of you
I guess I'll never know the reason why
You love me as you do
That's the wonder
The wonder of you
Beautifully played . The King would be humming along to it in Heaven.
Thanks so much Cliff !! All the best Phil
Hi Phil, you played one of my famously Elvis song, thanks so much, it so wonderful to see you again 👍👍👍👍😁😊😊😊😎
Thank you so much for those good comments ! I'm gad it's a favourite of yours.. All the best Phil
The King would be proud of this.
Sir, I'm 25 and to be honest I've always thought I was born in the wrong era. Nothing gives me pleasure these days. Music, art, cinema... Everything makes me feel like I belong between the 50s and the 70s, and this video is one of them. Perfect sound, perfect playing. Cheers!
Good to hear from you Gökhan ! Yes there was a lot of good music in the early days of rock n roll 50-70's but we still have access to it 🙂All the best Phil
The wonder of Phil’s guitar !
Thank you Henri !! Cheers Phil
