To my great surprise, i was unable to find a thread dedicated to Elvis Presely on this aniversary.

Here's a shout out to the King ... if he's still alive...

His music was brilliant and his songs unforgettable.

His impact on music will always be remembered!

RIP Elvis.

(tell us your favorite song. mine is Suspicious Minds, Jailhouse Rock, In the Ghetto, or Surrender)

Hmm....Hound Dog...I don't know.

Mr. Television · 08-16-2007, 11:39 PM

I love Hound Dog, Jail House Rock, Don't Be Cruel, Love Me Tender....I can go on and on. Elvis was always my favorite singer....him and Johnny cash. I remember sitting on the floor playing with some toys when the news broke that he died. It really shocked me. But his music will live on forever.

My favorite Elvis song will always be Suspicious Minds. When I was about 11, my grandparents took us kids to a "community days" celebration at their local park. That evening, an Elvis impersonator sang, and I danced with my grandpa to Suspicious Minds. Aside from the fond memories, I also think it's a cool song.

Other Elvis favorites of mine: The Teddy Bear Song, Jailhouse Rock, Can't Help Falling In Love, Devil in Disguise. My dad's favorite is Moody Blue.

Mr. Television · 08-17-2007, 12:44 AM

I know it was a Sinatra song but Elvis's version of My Way always got to me.

I Love John Ritter · 08-17-2007, 01:23 AM

Elvis is awesome. We even share the same birthday

Some of my favorite Elvis songs--Are You Lonesome Tonight, Can't Help Falling in Love, If I Can Dream.

treky · 08-17-2007, 03:23 AM

I like SUSPICIOUS MINDS, IN THE GHETTO, JAILHOUSE ROCK, KENTUCKY RAIN and a million more.

I remember back when I first heard the news that he died, on the car radio. I was with my mother, and I remember I turned to her and said "ELVIS PRESLY? I didn't know he was still around"! because you hadn't heard about him in a long time.
Then in the days following, when all the radio stations were playing his music, and his movies were all over TV; that's when I became a fan.

(I couldn't BELIEVE when I heard on TV LANDs MYTHS AND LEGENDS tonight that some people STILL believe; after 30 years, that he's still alive

That's my man John talking.

YOU RULE JOHN...AND SO DOES ELVIS!!!!!

Suspicious Minds would have to be my favorite. My fave movie is Paradise Hawaiian Style and of the course the critics' favorite (sarcasm) Change of Habit.

I was 12 when Elvis died. I remember the day he died. There are days when things happened and you remember that day like it was yesterday.

These are the days that stay in my mind:

THE DAY ELVIS DIED

THE DAY JOHN WAYNE DIED

THE DAY LUCILLE BALL DIED

THE DAY JOHN LENNON WAS MURDERED

THE DAY PRINCESS DIANA WAS KILLED / MURDERED BY THE PAPPARAZZI

THE DAY MOTHER TERESA DIED

THE DAY POPE JOHN PAUL II DIED

And of course the day family members died.
