That time Elvis Presley recorded Charlie Daniels’ song “It Hurts Me”
at 83 following a hemorrhagic stroke, rarely performed the song live, but in the above clip, taken from a 2018 performance at Biloxi, Mississippi’s IP Casino, he prefaces the song by explaining that Presley’s 1935 birth in Tupelo changed the course of his own life when the King of Rock & Roll recorded his song at Nashville’s RCA Studio B.
According to the song’s credits, “It Hurts Me” was written by Charles E. Daniels and Joy Byers — but it was actually Byers’ husband, the songwriter and producer Bob Johnston, who co-wrote the song. Like Presley, Johnston would also play a pivotal role in Daniels’ life, encouraging him to relocate to Nashville to get work as a session player. Daniels listened, and upon arriving in Nashville began work with Johnston in the studio, carving out a resume that included Bob Dylan’s 1969 LP.
