Elvis Presley’s Powerful Vocals Take on “Is It So Strange”

“Yes, It Is So Strange” is a song recorded by Elvis Presley in 1957. It was written by Faron Young and Wayne Walker, and was included on Elvis’s album “Elvis Is Back!”.

The song is a slow, bluesy ballad, featuring Elvis’s smooth vocals and a simple arrangement of guitar, bass, and drums. The lyrics describe the loneliness and heartache of a man who has lost the love of his life and is struggling to move on.

Despite being a lesser-known track in Elvis’s catalog, “Yes, It Is So Strange” is a hauntingly beautiful song that showcases Elvis’s emotional range as a vocalist. His expressive delivery and heartfelt interpretation of the lyrics make this a standout track on the “Elvis Is Back!” album.

The song has also been covered by other artists over the years, including Faron Young himself and country singer George Jones. However, it is Elvis’s version that remains the most beloved and enduring rendition of this classic ballad.
