Just came across this in a Blog.

Elvis was someone I came to love later on in life, after he died really. Love his sun recordings, the best. Have you seen the film ? Radders it is good. Also see Ray Charles movie, excellent.

Take my hand,
Take my whole life too
For I can't help
Falling in love
With You........

Hey Conrad!!

Hi

The photo is from the press conference just after he left Uncle Sam in 1960.....

The Site didn't specify when the PIC was taken.
I just thought I'd post it.
Such a contrast compared to Pictures taken a Decade later.

Yes! That is how I remember Elvis. Such a pity most publicity (and look-alikes) seem to dwell on his last days images!

Strange how the look-alikes never can emulate HIM without the Las-Vegas Suit?

What many people also don't realize is,Elvis was an accomplished Gospel-Singer.

In 1970, he was 12-13 stone, 32inch waist, and playing out vegas...1972/3 onwards yes...I agree. ......

SO to all Elvis 'fans'...Where were you.... 31 years ago tomorrow ..when news came of his death...

For the King.. ...

In the Bahamas,not believing the Announcement I had just heard on the Miami Radio Station.

A singer that never dies.....

Oh yes, Of Course! ...... Watching the Negro Gospel singers on UTube, from that era when Elvis was young one can recognise his style!

It was not Infra-dig for Whites to appreciate Black Gospel or Blues singers in those days .... but when this White boy appeared, twirling his hips and copying their style .. the world went crazy. He was just the first White boy to do Black music!

I love his gospel singing!

(And you know what?.........my youngest son looks SO much like him! .... can even sing like him too!... and he loves his Mama just like Elvis loved his Mama!)..... Here`s to Gladys...

Very strong memory, this one.....
I was in grade 7 in my mother's car on the way to school..... I remember the feeling of sadness I had, young as I was.....

I just asked my eldest son Does he remember Elvis`s death announcement .....? and he said "Yes, I was 4, I was watching TV when they told us, and I shouted to you .....you were changing my little brothers nappy. Gee, have we been without HIM for 31 years?"

PS. Even my grandchildren of 7 and 11 "know and remember" Elvis, and love his music and songs!
