Look closely!!
This is not a record performed by Elvis!
BUT!!! It is RARE to the EXTREME! and TRULY desirable because it's music written and performed by an EXTREMELY prolific songwriter who wrote many, many, MANY hit songs for MANY famous artists, including Elvis Presley!!!
Read about this legendary musician/songwriter! His stage name is Mark James. His birth name is  Francis Rodney Zambon
To save you some time, here are excerpts from the Wiki article devoted to this famous writer/performer......after reading his accomplishments, and his work directly with Elvis, you'll see why it was a perfect gift to my mom so many years ago, and why it was an important part of her collection:
Mark James (born Francis Rodney Zambon,1940) is an American songwriter who wrote hits for singers , , and , including Presley's last US , "."  By the late 1960s, James was signed as a staff songwriter to  producer 's publishing company, Moman producing Thomas’ versions of "The Eyes of a New York Woman", "", and "It's Only Love" from 1968 to 1969 (all of which achieved success). James released his own version of "Suspicious Minds," also produced by Moman, on  in 1968.  Using much the same arrangement,  recorded a version in 1969 that became a smash hit and was later listed on 's  at 91.

Here is the story behind this valuable find......
My mom was a HUGE Elvis fan!! When I was a kid, she collected "ALL THINGS ELVIS" and had a little table set up with all kinds of "Elvis Memorabilia", including even a BUST of "The King"!!! OH HOW I USED TO LAUGH at my poor mom! I used to call that table the "Elvis War Memorial"!!!
Now.....my beloved mother has been lost to me for a great many years, and I miss her every day! I still remember how I laughed at her "Elvis stuff" (I was and still AM a HUGE Beatles fan!) and how my sweet mom would laugh along with me, even though in my heart I know now she probably didn't find it all that funny.
As a result, I felt guilty and never could bring myself to sell her Elvis collection. Until Now. I realize that my mother would have wanted someone else to ENJOY her collection,  rather than have it stored away in  boxes in a closet.
SO....
I am offering her vast collection of Elvis 45 RPM records  to those Elvis fans who will appreciate them!
MOST of these 45's have NEVER BEEN PLAYED!!!
My mom had an old stereo console in the living room that had a TV and a radio and a record player and even a BAR in it! It was a HUGE piece of furniture! BUT, to play records, you had to take all the stuff she had on top off the console to lift the record player lid!
So because it was such a PIA, she loaded up all her Elvis LP's instead of the 45's on the changer, and would get hours and hours of playing time listening to the albums instead of the 45's which of course were only one song at a time instead of quite a few per album side.
As a result, the boxes of Elvis 45's remained UNTOUCHED for decades!!!
NOW.....it's time for an Elvis fan to enjoy them for the first time!!!
In the interest of full disclosure, I can't say with "absolute certainty" they were "never ever" played. MAYBE she did play them once or twice. MAYBE one or more will show signs of play. BUT....for the most part, with RARE exceptions, THESE LOOK BRAND NEW!
YES....Like they have NEVER been out of their sleeves! (LOOK AT THE PICS I INCLUDED TO SEE ALL HER 45'S!) Remember, this auction is for ONE of her 45's, but I will be listing them ALL soon!
Take a good look at the pictures and decide for yourself. I have quite a few to list, so each one must be examined individually. You'll see some as "almost new" and some maybe not as "new" looking. YOU BE THE JUDGE. I am NOT qualified to rate condition because I am NOT a record expert.
ALL I CAN DO IS SHOW YOU! I have told you the history of these wonderful 45's and now it's up to you!
What I CAN say is I know my mom will be happy looking down from Heaven seeing you enjoy them!
REMEMBER..... Unlike other sellers who will charge you $5.00 and MORE to ship every record you buy, I WILL SHIP THIS RECORD ABSOLUTELY FREE!!! ANYWHERE IN THE LOWER 48 STATES! (anywhere else at my actual cost)
Thanks for looking! 
Please check my other auctions now and in the days  to come as I list each one of these 45's separately,  along with many of my own huge record collection as well!
