Its first release on record was in August or September 1969 on a single as the reverse side to "Suspicious Minds".[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] On December 1, 1970, the single "Suspicious Minds" / "You'll Think of Me" was re-released as part of RCA Victor's Gold Standard Series (together with 9 older Presley's singles).[11]
The single "Suspicious Minds" was certified Gold by RIAA for sales in 1 million copies in the United States on October 28, 1969. On March 27, 1992, it was certified Platinum.[12] It also was the South African single of the year.[citation needed]
Robert Matthew-Walker writes in his book Heartbreak Hotel: the Life and Music of Elvis Presley:
In the last song, 'You'll Think Of Me', there is a strangely disconnected opening which gradually builds to the basic tempo. The song, which lasts almost four minutes, is long for the material, but Presley manages to hold it together through the layers of sound.[14][15][16]
