"Moody Blue" is a song made famous by Elvis Presley.
Written by Mark James[1] (who also penned Elvis' "Suspicious Minds"), the song became Presley's last No. 1 hit in his lifetime, topping the Billboard magazine Hot Country Singles chart in February 1977 [2]. "Moody Blue" also peaked at number thirty-one on the Hot 100 [3]. RCA Records also issued an extremely limited quantity of the "Moody Blue" single in an experimental translucent blue vinyl pressing, with "She Thinks I Still Care" as the B-side. Six months after "Moody Blue" topped the chart, Presley was dead.
The song was recorded in February 1976 in the Jungle Room of Presley's Graceland home. The last time Elvis performed the song was on February 21 1977 Live, In Charlotte,NC
