LONG LIVE THE KING

25 years ago today Elvis Presley died.
I own some 1200 CD's and not a single Elvis record (I should especially the Sun period,some great stuff)but I acknowldge without him about 1000 of those records wouldn't exist.......irrespective of the movie years,his tragic decline or limited writing abilities-- at his peak he was unique, original,the performer who not only made some of the most important records of 20th century popular music but the man who inspired countless others to push popular song and performance forward.
Hat's off to Elvis,the King of Rock and Roll.........

If you can be cool saying:
A Hey Bop-a-loopa.

You're pretty cool.

I have a few recordings of his early sun sessions - he was sumthin else back then.

Happy bithday Elvis?

I drove my Sportster from Chicago to Memphis to see Graceland. I had to do it once in my lifetime. My ass is still sore.
