Lenny Welch, was the artist /singer of the classic “Since I Fell For You.” However, when I purchased the recording from iTunes there’s a reference to Elvis Presley.

Anyone know the connection!

It looks like there was a 10" 78 with two tracks; the first being _Since I Fell for You_ by Lenny Welch with the B side being _There’s a Honky Tonk Angel_ by Elvis Presley. It appears that some services like Spotify messed up their attributions and put Elvis as a performer for _Since I Fell for You_ as well.

‘Since I Fell For You’ by Lenny Welch might be my most favorite song ever, at least in the oldies’ category.
