Elvis Presley: It's Midnight
Billy Edd Wheeler, a fellow Hall of Fame songwriter friend of mine, and I were at a golf tournament at Henry Horton State Park. He told me he had an Idea for a song, but since it was to be a love song and he was basically a story teller, he needed help writing it, and asked if I would be interested.
I agreed to write it with him, something that at this point in time I had never done before. I got a guitar, and while he drove back to Nashville we worked on this song. By the time we got to Nashville we had whipped it out. Later, Billy Edd sang the demo of it and I sent it to Elvis by Lamar Fike.
Elvis recorded it and it was an Award Winning Record, the first of several of my songs he did.
