I thought he did the song "just a closer..." privately at Fadal's house in may 58 ?

The song is written and recorded by Don MacLean around 1972.
The song is registered at BMI with performer Elvis Presley. (see scans – page 2 is a list with performers I’ve not scanned). I’ve not found information about a selection for a recording session.
Somewhere rejected in a pre-selection?.

It's a beautiful song, but the composer's version has never been bettered, not even by himself. I don't believe Elvis could have done it justice, certainly not in 1972, or later.

Maybe Elvis decided to record "And I love you so" instead of this song? Song selections by Elvis is a difficult subject.
colonel snow
It is possible, and it's a much more suitable song.
