Just came back from a tour of Graceland. Before, I only liked his '68 comeback and Vegas years when he was counter punching the Beatles impact. I now realise that this man was the one and only superstar. Outside of his looks, talent and unmatched charisma, this guy was touched with something else; the x factor. The term has been cheapened recently but trust me, the rest have a catch up to do that's measured in light years. No celebrity compares. And he didn't have to try.
elvis? makin' the scene with hollywood elites and hipsters and even a couple of negroes? I don't think so.It's about tupelo,misssisssippi..........man.
@singers333 If the Beatles or Michael Jackson had the same hectic schedule that "THE KING" had they wouldn't have wrote anything. That's the reason the Beatles finally retired from touring in 1966 and the reason there were several years between each Jackson release. Each of them did what was best for their careers and each was successful.
I've never understand the fact that Elvis not writing his songs took away from his greatness. Robert DeNiro never wrote a script but performs his parts magnificently and we don't critize that. I could sing any of Elvis's songs that were wrtten for hiim and stink.
@zzremington It sounds like a double standard to me. The Beatles can get away with retiring from touring to write songs but ELVIS can't get away with performing more concerts and doing movies in lieu of writing songs. That's the reason Michael Jackson put several years between each release was to take time to write songs. Neither he nor the Beatles could've kept up the same pace that ELVIS did and still wrote new material.
@zzremington Not to mention the fact that people continued to throw songs ELVIS' way. He didn't need to write anything. ELVIS did know how to play the guitar, drums, piano, bass and some say the accordion and the fiddle. The people that know what you and I know just want to nitpick so as to make their own idols look better.
@supermodelbrawl yeah u must like the vulgar dancing of today which is disgusting. Atleast there is nto body contact when these people are dancing. Todya's dancing is like having sex on the dance floor.
@videomolly Elvis was pretty open about the fact that he wanted to be commercially successful more than respected as an artist - the man had no problem with performing songs other people had written, or letting others play the instruments. In light of that, I'd say that's a pretty fair assessment.

Glad you liked it. If you like elvis you should enjoy "live a litte, love a little" the comedy in that movie is more "adult" than his other movies. Let me know what you thought after you watch it. P.S. Who is Sir? I havn't been knighted yet. If you must give me a title try "Mate".

Glad you liked it. If you like elvis you should enjoy "live a litte, love a little" the comedy in that movie is more "adult" than his other movies. Let me know what you thought after you watch it. P.S. Who is Sir? I havn't been knighted yet. If you must give me a title try "Mate".
