 “I Miss Elvis Presley” was written by the late David Austin (St. Amour) and Jon Park Wheeler, one of Canada's most versatile and experienced session guitarists

David had a love for Elvis and his music from an early age. Elvis was his role model and idol and he wanted to write a song that expressed the loss he felt because of Elvis’ early passing. Prior to creating the song, he went to Memphis, visited Elvis’s family home, then viewed Graceland and also ate at the Elvis Presley Restaurant.  One morning he picked up his guitar and started to write the song. 

With the help of Graceland he met with Elvis’ backup group “The Jordanaires” who liked the song and agreed to join the project. The noted producer Randall Prescott produced the song and pulled all the musical and emotional aspects of the recording together.

David loved the song as it expressed his true feelings about  Elvis.
