The Wonder of You (live 1975) - Elvis Presley - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Originally released in 1970, "The Wonder of You" will go down in history as one of Elvis Presley's most iconic ballads. The track was originally penned by American singer-songwriter Baker Knight in 1958 and it was first recorded by pop singer Ray Peterson a year later. However, it was Elvis Presley's rendition, first recorded live in Las Vegas, Nevada, in February 1970, that resonated the most with mainstream audiences. Accompanied by gentle piano strokes, occasional bursts of drums, and lavish orchestration, "The Wonder of You" delivers every bit of nostalgia and romance one might expect to find in an Elvis Presley song. Its lyrics find the rock and roll legend celebrating the uniqueness of his significant other and openly expressing his admiration for them, embuing every word with melodrama. Shortly after its release, Elvis Presley's version of "The Wonder of You" stayed atop the UK Singles Chart for six consecutive weeks, quickly becoming his most successful release in the United Kingdom.
