Ray Price has recorded two songs with the title "I'll Be There" .

The first version is the one that is described above (recorded in 1953). This song is titled "I'll Be There" , sometimes titled "I'll Be There (If You Ever Want Me)", written by Ray Price and 'Rusty' Gabbard. This is the song that Doug Sahm has covered on his "DOUG SAHM & BAND" album in 1973.

The second version is recorded at March 7, 1957 and is also titled "I'll Be There". Sometimes this song is titled "I'll Be There (When You Get Lonely)". This song is a different song. This song is written by Dave Burgess. See the picture below.

That means that the songcredits for "I'll Be There"  on the "DOUG SAHM & BAND"  LP's/CD's are a mistake! The songcredits on the album should be  -Ray Price & 'Rusty' Gabbard-  instead of  -Burgess- .
