~ Saturday Night Jukebox ~
Theme: Tribute To Elvis Presley

 

The FR Canteen Saturday Night Jukebox Proudly Presents:
A Tribute To The King of Rock N Roll -- Elvis Presley!
Today (January 8th) would have marked Elvis' 70th birthday.
In tribute to him, we are going to take a short journey through his life and music! If you would like to join the fun, please post anything Elvis today. If you would prefer to hear other music, please post all the requests on the thread, via FReepmail, or email us at canteenusa@canteenusa.com with "Music Request" in the subject line.


As always, please remember that the Canteen Music Dedication has always been about the Troops and their families.


 

Elvis Aaron Presley
Born: January 8th, 1935 in Tupelo, Mississippi
Parents: Gladys and Vernon Presley
Siblings: Jesse Presley (died at birth)
Children: Lisa Marie Presley born February 1, 1968
Died: August 16, 1977 in Memphis, Tennessee
Cause of Death: cardiac arrhythmia


 

  1. Known as the "King Of Rock"
  2. It is estimated that Elvis Presley has sold over one billion record units worldwide, more than anyone in record industry history. (From elvis.com)
  3. The only tours outside of America were all in Canada.
  4. Elvis has had no less than 149 songs to appear on Billboard’s Hot 100 Pop Chart in America.
  5. He was also a leading artist in the American country, R&B, and gospel fields, and his chart success in other countries was substantial.
  6. In 1961, Elvis gave a benefit concert at Bloch Arena in Hawaii that raised over $65,000 toward the building of the U.S.S. Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor.
  7. The 1984 W.C. Handy Award from the Blues Foundation in Memphis recognized Elvis for "keeping the blues alive in his music - rock and roll."
  8. In 1986, Elvis was inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame. His presenters were none other than Sean and Julian Lennon--the sons of John Lennon.
  9. Is a direct descendant of Abraham Lincoln's great-great grandfather, Isaiah Harrison.
  10. One of only a handful of artists inducted into both The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame and The Country Music Hall of Fame. Others include Johnny Cash and Hank Williams.
  11. The Beatles were admirers of his work and although John Lennon said they enjoyed his company very much, Elvis himself, ironically, thought that the Beatles were a bad influence on America's youth.
  12. More people watched _Elvis: Aloha from Hawaii (1973)_ (live Via Satellite TV special) than watched Neil Armstrong walk on the moon.
  13. In 1975 he purchased a poor black East Memphis woman an electric wheel chair and picked her up and personally sat her in it. The woman's teenage daughter told Elvis she liked his car. He gave it to her and even gave her boyfriend a job.
     

More info about Elvis will be posted throughout the music dedication. Also, all the information can be found at www.elvis.com and www.imdb.com . There are hundreds of other places with Elvis info and pictures.

A PRAYER OF PROTECTION

The light of God surround you
The love of God enfold you
The power of God protect you
The presence of God watch over you
Wherever you are,God is,
And all is well.
Amen.

Bless This House



Bless this house O Lord we pray;
Make it safe by night and day;
Bless these walls so firm and stout,
Keeping want and trouble out:
Bless the roof and chimneys tall,
Let thy peace lie over all;
Bless this door, that it may prove
ever open to joy and love.


Bless these windows shining bright,
Letting in God's heav'nly light;
Bless the hearth a'blazing there,
with smoke ascending like a prayer;
Bless the folk who dwell within,
keep them pure and free from sin;
Bless us all that we may be
Fit O Lord to dwell with thee;
Bless us all that one day we
May dwell O Lord with thee.
