• Rhocol(rcl) from Melbourne AustraliaElvis Presley did not die from a prescription drug overdose// it is about time after all these years that this misconception is corrected.

• Jim Wat from Modesto CaWhy didn’t Willy sing all the verses of BECITR? I love the missing verse
• Rose from CanadaDid the actor Rami Malek as a child, appear in the Willie Nelson music video for the song "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain"?
• Jennifur Sun from RamonaFirst time I heard this song was when I was a kid, we had an old 78 record of it by Lulu Belle and Scotty. Still my fav version of this song.
• Coy from Palestine, TexasNelson's whole Red Headed Stranger album was nothing more than covers of obscure old country tunes (Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain and Red Headed Stranger) with sparse instrumentals. But the concept was so different, clean and new, that it was an immediate classic. Willie's wife at the time, Connie, talked him into doing the album.
• Bob from Kingwood, TxLaugh if you want, but there was a girl that used to sing this on KULP Radio, 1390 AM in El Campo, Texas. I wonder what happened to her. When someone mentions "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain", she and Willie Nelson are the first two people I think of.
• John from Mansfield, TxI was 16 when I first heard Willie sing"Blue eyes Crying In The Rain"and I've always like his music ever since!!
  Ol'Willie's a helluva singer and a Texas Icon to boot!!
• Bill from Denton, TxSorry Julian, "Always on My Mind" was not written by Nelson but by Johnny Christopher, Mark James and Wayne Carson Thompson. Nelson gets way too much credit for a journeyman cover of a classic. Elvis's version was clearly the better of the two, a lot better.
• Thomas from North Hollywood, Ca"Unchained Melody" and "Blue eyes crying in the rain" were the last two songs Elvis sang and played on his piano at Graceland before he died.
• Bob from Comox, B.c., CanadaThis was also recorded by Daniel O'Donnell on his CD
  "From The Heart/Thoughts Of Home 2002

• Ake from Ostersund, SwedenGene Vincent also recorded a great version of this song for his 6th and last Capitol album, "Twist Crazy Times" in 1959.
• Julian from Oakland, ArWillie Nelson is one of the greatest song writers of all-time in any musical genre, writing many songs such as "Crazy", "Hello Walls", and "Always On My Mind", yet his greatest song of all-time "Blues Eyes Crying In The Rain" was penned by Fred Rose. Strange?
