I don't have much interest in his music however I was able to do the Graceland tour a few years ago and was thoroughly engrossed in it.

He was crap really wasn't he

But he did provide Tom Jones with a few anecdotes which he wheels out on every show on tv

Elvis was an icon though

Lennon said ,"before Elvis there was nothing",which of course wasn't true at all.
Elvis did change lives though world wide ,like it or not.

My first hearing Heartbreak Hotel still reasonates to this day.

On his death,Radio Luxembourg ,Tony Prince played his music all night. He was beside himself with grief.

Elvis,Lennon,Holly,Joplin, Morrison. All stand out deaths for people my age.

Good news for Elvis fans.


He's still losing weight.

He would have been 85 this year.

Difficult to imagine him as an old man.

Loads of great songs though. My favourite -
In The Ghetto.

He is Welsh though and a big Swans 🕊 fan, Presley derives from Presseli and his mother's name was Gladys

With respect,disagree. His La Vegas years,to me were grotesque. He became a parody.

He "died" when he went in the Army.

His 54-60 oeuvre is best

Whatever anyone thinks about his music, most will probably remember where they were/what they were doing when they heard the news he'd passed away...

Only if they're an ancient fart.

Yes

Some people remember when they used to call him ‘Elvis the Pelvis’. Not me though. No siree.

Well I can remember where I was without being an ancient fart,I was siting in my kitchen of my house in Baglan eating my Rice Krispies listening to Noel Edmonds on the Radio 1 breakfast show before going to school and the news at 8am came on.

Yeah, but you're an ancient fart now, to remember that then.
