Elvis Presley Fans?

I have always appreciated his voice. He had a very good range. I also grew up in an "Elvis House" but never tired of his music. Much more of an icon and contribution to rock music than Michael Jackson, and although he had issues later in life, he really was a stand up person. And who wouldn't have problems dealing with his level of fame?

"And who wouldn't have problems dealing with his level of fame?"

- A lot of artists. For instance, Charles Aznavour made over 60 movies composed 1000 songs and sold over 100 million records. In 1998, Charles Aznavour was chosen as Entertainer of the Century by CNN and users of Time Online from around the globe (beating Presley and Dylan)).

He is currently 85 and Ambassador of Armenia to Switzerland.

As for Elvis being stand-up person, he was spying on the other artists to get rid of as he said "hippies element". Here is a letter he send to Nixon to obtain badge of Federal Agent: http://www.pimall.com/nais/pivintage/images/elvisnote.pdf

If Buddy Holly had lived...it would've been Elvis who?

I find it hard to believe Charles Aznavour beat out Zamfir,or for that matter, Heino,but then again Richard Nixon won by a landside.

I am, and have been for the past 32 years.

By the way Sony/BMG has a division aimed at collectors called "Follow That Dream" dedicated to, among other things, Elvis' Classic Albums. They are remastered, and the sound is absolutely fabulous on most of these reissues. "Elvis Is Back", "Memphis, Tennessee" and "Elvis Country" stand out from the pack of about 85 issues.

It is well worth to check it out...I'm glad I did!
