The story behind the song

"Memories" was written by Billy Strange and Mac Davis specifically for Elvis Presley's 1968 comeback TV special on NBC. The writers were asked for a song about looking back over the years, and Mac Davis wrote it in a single night. The song was first performed live on the TV special, and a studio version was included on the soundtrack album, also titled Elvis. It is considered a hallmark of Elvis' later period.
