Musical Moments: Carson, Always on my Mind

Wayne Carson, who wrote Elvis Presley’s Always on my Mind and Joe Cocker’s The Letter, died on Tuesday at age 72, bbc.com reported.

The two-time Grammy winner said he had written Always on My Mind in 10 minutes at his kitchen table in Missouri.

”Our music community has lost an immense talent much too soon,” said Recording Academy president Neil Portnow.
