I seem Elvis almost every day in the local 7-11.
I enjoyed Elvis in his earlier years but lost interest during his Las Vegas years.
Remember seeing a movie theater reprise of his first movie, with a girlfriend, when I was 13.
I have a digitally remastered album of his greatest hits.
He was the “king”, Michael Jackson was not.
Garth Brooks
Don’t try to lay no boogie-woogie on the king of rock and roll.
Agreed, Garth Brooks is the Elvis of our generation. Pretty amazing entertainer. Good guy too.
“Before anyone did anything,
Elvis did everything!!!!”
fyi-Engelbert Humperdink and Tom Jones are 86yo and 82yo, respectively. They both are reportedly still performing live onstage.
what are your favorite songs? Pick a few?
“Agreed, Garth Brooks is the Elvis of our generation. Pretty amazing entertainer. Good guy too.”
I am devoted to C/W but have zero Garth Brooks. We hit the skip button if he comes on our streaming service.
Thanks for the post. Off to see Elvis Follow That Dream Movie.
I rate it his best movie. Some others are good. The Ann Margret Vegas ok for that sort of thing.
Seems to me you are reviewing your wonderful life not the movie
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loving_You_(1957_film) was his best movie.
My wife and I used to see him in Claremore, OK at a little Mexican restaurant by the fair grounds.
He is a very friendly guy.
Saying that, I don’t care for his music, his first album wasn’t bad. All down hill from then on.
Judy Garland and Bob Hope come to mind, but the point isn't worth arguing😉
Elvis was older than me. I look back at photos and movies and think, that SOB was handsome as all hell.
Elvis had a way about him and nobody can outElvis Elvis.
He was also very talented and somewhat eccentric.
