"Life" is a song written and originally recorded by Shirl Milete in 1969. Elvis Presley recorded the song on June 6, 1970.[1] Presley's version was released as single, peaking at No. 53 on the Billboard Hot 100, No. 8 on the Easy Listening chart, and No. 34 on the Country Singles chart. It was a double A-side with "Only Believe". It was included on Presley's Love Letters from Elvis album.
Billboard reviewed the single "Life/Only Believe" in its May 8, 1971, issue. The magazine characterizes the song "Life" as "a gospel-oriented ballad that builds into a heavy production."[2]
