14. 1968-- "IF I CAN DREAM"-- With its gospel fervor and quotes from Martin Luther King Jr., who had been assassinated in Memphis two months before the song was recorded.
15. 1969-- "SUSPICIOUS MINDS"-- An Elvis career comeback.
16. "LONG BLACK LIMOUSINE"-- The irony of Elvis singing this precautionary tale about excess crystallized after his death, of course.
17. 1970-- "THE WONDER OF YOU"-- Never recorded in a studio, but it was a staple of his concerts later in his career.
18. 1972-- "BURNING LOVE"-- His last top ten, went to #2. (OK, my 4th favorite Elvis song.)
19. "AN AMERICAN TRILOGY"-- (I guess this could not be sung anymore for fear of offending certain groups.)
20. 1976-- "WAY DOWN"-- That's gospel legend J.D. Sumner singing "Way on down" at the end of each chorus.
That's a Twenty for You. --Cooter
