Description

Don Robertson was a successful recording artist and songwriter who wrote a lot of songs intended for Elvis Presley, so many that there is a Bear Family CD of such songs.  Here is a song he wrote with his frequent partner Hal Blair that doesn't seem to have been commercially recorded called Is it Because You're Near.  The 10" 78 rpm acetate is in VG shape, plays through with some pops and would benefit from a professional cleaning.  This song certainly sounds like it would have suited Elvis perfectly.  Comes with original lead sheet.
