well, i can still nod my head in time with the music uh oh
Hope you're back will get better soon, June hug
thanks K. lovely to see you here at the blogs bouquet
i really like elvis and i like to remember him on this day.. but i dunno.. saying he is the best their was goes a bit to far for me. Their were allot of great singers around back then. I know his music, i know his movies... it was good but so were others.. maybe it was things besides his music and movies that made him the king to so many? I dunno i wasn't born yet when he died. But either way he did leave the world so much that he should always be remembered
Teddybear,
thank u for ur input,
for millions around the world he was the best, during the late late 50's and 60's.
Even in the 70's he was singing to packed audiences in Las Vegas night after night.
this was long after he stopped recording songs.
I agree that he was just a very very actor, but back then women would flock to the cinemas just to watch him.
His voice was so unique.
If memory serves me correctly, i think i read or heard that he was a white man with a black mans voice....no racial slur intended.
His voice was so different at the time.
Thanks for ur comments.cheers

Oh it's a long way to Tipperary, It's a long way to go..."

yeah well i did agree he was talented.. i think he could have been even bigger if he hadn't been forced into some lame songs he had to do because of his contracts. but like i said i never experienced the hype around him. But when it comes to just comparing his music to others from that time i can't help thinking that guys like big bopper, jerry lee lewis, buddy holly deserve more then always be in his shadow when people talk about rock n roll
Teddy.....
When comparing any artists ...signer/actor/sportsperson....
there will always be some conjecture as to who was the best...

The Hype around Elvis was huge though...all those u mention did say that he even influenced them in some small way...

take care big buddy, and hey that cleaner.....do what u feel is right and comfortable to do...
Good luck.cheers handshake
guess we shouldn't discuss who was best.. and just be thankfull for the great music they all left us.
And about the cleaninglady.. i'll take a risk.. hope for the best (hope to see her again) so won't clean my house the next week so she has something to do on our first date. LOL
Good for u Teddy....
