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.

Don’t try to lay no boogie-woogie on the king of rock and roll.

Elvis!

fyi-Engelbert Humperdink and Tom Jones are 86yo and 82yo, respectively. They both are reportedly still performing live onstage.

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.

as far as I know no single artist has even gotten close to his success.

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.

Was just talking to a friend about this movie and Elvis. He broke down a lot of barriers and was THEE rock and roll idol. Maybe the Beatles came close to Elvis-mania but Elvis was the snowplow for the rest.

Is it worth a watch?

‘Graceland’.
Absolutely Loved It!
Released in 2008 it’s a 2 disc set and just watched the first one.

It covered Everything but Not Elvis shooting a TV.

While you’re reminiscing, write down or video yourself expanding on what you told us. Explain those moments in your life. Share it with your kids and grandkids.
