Song Title

[postman44]

Who had a hit record in 1991 with a recording of Elvis tell me lately that I love you.
Thank you
Was it Rod Stewart?

[Stephen_G]

Rod did indeed take the song to number 5, but in 1993

[roopower]

Yes, Rod Stewart

[bobbinwales]

You mean 'have I told you lately'?

[barry1010]

The only song I know of that title was written and sung by Van Morrison

[Bobbisox1]

Also sang by Van Morrison around 1990 I think

[Stephen_G]

It was on Rod's album Vagabond Heart, which was released in 1991. The version which made the charts was from his live album Unplugged... and Seated

[barry1010]

Van Morrison wrote it and recorded it in 1989. Elvis never sung it

[Stephen_G]

Go on Wikipedia, postie. There are two versions listed. The Elvis version is titled Have I Told You Lately That I Love You? and the Rod Stewart version is listed as a cover of the Van Morrison track Have I Told You Lately.

This is confusing. Arent there 2 different songs - the one written in the 1940s that Elvis and Gene Autrey and lots of others did and then the Van Morrison song which is the one a Rod did unless he also did the other one too

[barry1010]

You are right, bobbinwales, Elvis released that in 1957

[bobbinwales]

Elvis died in 1977 . The Van Morrison song that Rod covered in 1991/92 or 93 was written in 1980s so Elvis never sung it

Jim Reeves released it in 1964, lovely version.

@postman44 Can you please post the exact wording of the question? Thanks.

[bobbinwales]

Have the given yesterdays answer postman??

[bobbinwales]

Answer was Willie Nelson according to Postman44 thread today.
Odd as Willie Nelsons was 1957 . Maybe it were reissued or rerecorded in 1991 but can't find a record of such a release?

[Chinajan]

Ricky Nelson, said postman44 on the other thread.

Seems again there was a typo of the date in the question asked above.

[bobbinwales]

oops. Sorry. Dont know why i typed Willie instead of Ricky. Ricky was 1957
