What style of music opitomised Elvis? Was it his rock and roll,gospel or ballads for you?
And which track is your favourite?
One of my favourites is "In the getto".

I like his blues influenced songs... Mystery Train or his version of Hi Heel Sneakers, nice!

Yes, I think most people do. I prefer his early days myself.
But, even in the end, when it had all turned bad, he still was a performer and a great musician... it's all part of rock 'n' roll, I guess cool

I agree; Col. Parker had a huge influence and not for the better.blues
Luckily there's still plenty of the old songs around, for all to enjoy.
