Elvis: Unchained Melody - last concert tour (HQ) ☆
We love you E, wherever you are!
Tragic that Elvis allowed his handlers to dictate to him. They did not have his best interests at heart; instead, they just looked upon him as their personal ATM.
I’m not a fan, but he was talented. It’s a shame he left us so soon.
He's missed by this lifelong fan. May God rest his troubled soul.
When I first heard Elvis' voice, I just knew that I wasn't going to work for anybody, and nobody was going to be my boss. He is the deity supreme of rock and roll religion as it exists in today's form. Hearing him for the first time was like busting out of jail. I thank God for Elvis Presley.
-- Bob Dylan
A lot of people have accused Elvis of stealing the black man's music, when in fact, almost every black solo entertainer copied his stage mannerisms from Elvis.
-- Jackie Wilson
Elvis is the greatest cultural force in the twentieth century. He introduced the beat to everything, music, language, clothes, it's a whole new social revolution — the 60's comes from it.
-- Leonard Bernstein
Without Elvis, none of us could have made it.
-- Buddy Holly
He was the firstest with the mostest.
-- Roy Orbison
That Elvis, man, he is all there is. There ain't no more. Everything starts and ends with him. He wrote the book.
-- Bruce Springsteen
I wasn't just a fan, I was his brother. He said I was good and I said he was good; we never argued about that. Elvis was a hard worker, dedicated, and God loved him. Last time I saw him was at Graceland. We sang Old Blind Barnabus together, a gospel song. I love him and hope to see him in heaven. There'll never be another like that soul brother.
-- James Brown
Elvis was the king. No doubt about it. People like myself, Mick Jagger and all the others only followed in his footsteps.
-- Rod Stewart
I don't think there is a musician today that hasn't been affected by Elvis' music. His definitive years — 1954-57 — can only be described as rock's cornerstone. He was the original cool.
-- Brian Setzer
There have been many accolades uttered about Elvis' talent and performances through the years, all of which I agree with wholeheartedly. I shall miss him dearly as a friend. He was a warm, considerate and generous man.
-- Frank Sinatra
Before Elvis, everything was in black and white. Then came Elvis. Zoom, glorious Technicolor.
-- Keith Richards
If life was fair, Elvis would be alive and all the impersonators would be dead.
-- Johnny Carson
Before Elvis, there was nothing.
-- John Lennon

He sure was a Hunka, hunka Burnin Love!
I appreciate the beautiful songs he gave us. Elvis Presley had a voice un-matched. I remember many times in crazy moments trying to keep up with his recordings. God Bless
Would have been Jesse’s, too.
In 1998 on our road trip to Dallas we stopped in Memphis and took the “tour” of Sun Studios. There wasn’t much to it, yet it was unforgettable. The place was very much as it was when Elvis and Jerry Lee and a lot of other famous stars of the ‘50s recorded there.
[75th Birthday]
I have this uncanny gift to tell how many birthdays everyone in the world will have...ONE.
