Introduction:

“There’s Always Me” is a heartfelt ballad recorded by Elvis Presley in 1961 and later included in his album Something for Everybody. Written by Don Robertson, a songwriter frequently collaborating with Presley, the track captures the feeling of enduring love and loyalty. The song didn’t initially receive single release attention in 1961, as it was overshadowed by Presley’s other hit singles, yet it found a special place within his fan base. Eventually, in 1967, RCA Victor decided to release it as a single alongside “Judy,” which helped renew interest in Presley’s early ’60s material, especially with those longing for his more contemplative, romantic style​

 

 

Elvis’s unique, soulful interpretation brought depth to Robertson’s lyrics, showcasing his vocal ability to express tender emotions effectively. This song is seen as a testament to Presley’s versatility, as it contrasts his high-energy rock and roll hits with a slower, emotional ballad. “There’s Always Me” gained popularity over the years and was even covered by other artists, though it remains closely associated with Presley. This track not only resonated with his audience but also exemplifies the softer, reflective side of his musical career that appealed to a broad demographic, reinforcing his adaptability and long-lasting influence in popular music
