Elvis Presley Fans?


How many of you are Elvis fans My mom grew up during his era of fame and always played his music when I was growing up. I enjoy almost every song he ever performed.

"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
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!

I was disappointed by Elvis's association with Nixon. He was very envious of the Beatles, I guess his star was dwindling at that time. Although he was probably a strange guy, who wouldn't want to hang with him back when he was so impulsive, shooting out TV's. Elvis will always be the King!
