"Long Black Limousine" is a song written by Vern Stovall and Bobby George. The first released version was Stovall's, in 1961, followed by Glen Campbell's in 1962. The best-known version is probably the one by Elvis Presley. Stovall and George, country musicians based in southern California, probably wrote the song in 1958, when it was first recorded (but not released until many years later) by Wynn Stewart. The only charting single of the song (in 1968 it reached number 73 on the US country chart) was Jody Miller's, her version was also on her 1968 album The Nashville Sound of Jody Miller. O. C. Smith's version was released as the B-side of his million-selling crossover hit "Little Green Apples" in 1968. Elvis Presley's version appeared on his 1969 From Elvis in Memphis album. Many other artists have covered the song, including Bobby Bare (1964), Glen Campbell (1964), Merle Haggard (1967), Jeannie Seely (1968), Connie Smith (1969), The Grateful Dead (1969), Doug Jernigan (1970), Rattlesnake Annie (1981), Carl Rutherford (2001), and Barb Jungr (2005).more »
