Until It’s Time For You To Go / We Can Make The Morning was Elvis’ first single of 1972, released in January as a preview to the release of the album “Elvis Now”.
The A-side was a song that Elvis really liked. Composed by folk singer Buffie Sainte-Marie, it was a song in the style that Elvis was in love with in early 1971. It could have been part of the album that he would have so much liked to make. It was recorded in two different sessions in 1971.
The original version comes from the May sessions, although he recorded it again in June. It is a wonderful song in which Elvis once again gives us that sincerity and depth that only he could achieve when he really liked a song. Elvis quickly transferred it to his live appearances.
The B-side was also a great song. It was a new composition by a semi-unknown composer Jay Ramsey. Elvis quickly got the hang of the song and made it his own. It is one of Elvis’ great forgotten songs of the 70’s. Despite being a good single, it once again did not achieve the expected success.
Concern was once again established in RCA and Elvis’s entourage in the face of the clear drop in sales and popularity. It was obvious that something was wrong, but nobody looked or wanted to look at the main problem: the arrangements. As a general rule, Elvis’ songs did not need great arrangements (not to say any at all) given that the greatness of his recordings lay precisely in the freshness of the moment. Felton Jarvis insisted on covering up all that spontaneity with layers and layers of wind instruments.
Commercially the single reached number 40 on the Billboard charts, and sales did not exceed 300,000 copies.
