This video reminds me why I don't watch today's artists. There IS a difference. These, and others, are legends for a reason.

I play a machine at a Walmart in NC. It got picked clean at Christmas. The guy that services it must have got pissed b'cuz now the claw stays open thru the entire cycle and it doesn't travel all the way to the back of the machine. A shame; it has a few Looney Tune characters in it I'd like to get.

New Years Eve 1975 in the Pontiac Silverdome in Mich., my wife and I saw him perform. For an hour and a half, he showed why the throne of rock and roll fits his butt and no one elses. He moved around the stage like he'd invented it. When he sang 'And I Love You So', tears were rolling down my wif...

One of the greatest gospel songs ever written beautifully performed by the greatest recorded voice in music history. Thank you, Elvis.

When he held a microphone, he was without equal. Even with all the singers and musicians backing him, Elvis' voice was the greatest instrument he had. RIP, Mr. Presley.

He only had 18 # 1 hits, 38 top 10 hits, 114 top 40 hits, and 711 master recordings. Everyone's top 10 Elvis songs could be different and still be right. Change your list every day, if you want to. It's still Elvis!

@NeilPresley I've collected Elvis music for 45 years and knew it wasn't him singing. Still you sound real good. Thanks for the video.

In rural Mississippi, a small boy wanted a bicycle or a bb gun for his 11th birthday. His family was poor and couldn't afford those things. So his mother got him a guitar. That decision meant nothing to the world....yet it meant everything to the world. Thanks, Mrs. Presley. The results of that d...

Elvis once said he vocalized 3-4 hours a day to keep his voice in shape. Today's singers don't have a clue to that kind of commitment. He was a perfectionist in the studio and on stage. Was is it worth the effort? 18 #1 hits, 38 top 10 hits, 114 top 40 hits, over 1,600 total weeks with a hit in ...

My wife and I saw him in concert New Years Eve 1975. There's a reason the throne of Rock and Roll fits his butt and his alone.

There's no denying it. The only player in NBA history with 30,000 points, 20,000 rebounds, and 20,000 women (TRULY a player!). Those numbers alone make Wilt the GREATEST ever!

I told my 6 yr old grandson about the Looney Tunes one day when we were watching Sponge Bob. Told him that they were the funniest cartoons ever. One day he asked if he could watch some 'funny cartoons'. For the 1st time , he saw Bugs, Sylvester, Tweety; the whole gang. The look on his face was gr...

Can't argue with this list. Everyone on it belongs on it. Re-arrange the names if you want but the list of ten is correct.

I was watching Sponge Bob with my 6 year old grandson a few years ago. He asked what cartoons I'd watched as a kid. I told him about the Looney Tunes and how funny they were. A couple days later, he asked if he could watch some funny cartoons (other than Sponge Bob, he laughed at none of today's ...

@TraceyMariexx I combed my hair like his for years but it never had rhythm. Oh well.....

Any of the 4 Japanese carriers could have made the list. Personally would have put the USS Indianapolis on it. Still a great list; thanks for posting.

@lcspies I'm not an idiot by any standards. I wasn't aware there was any significance between the date and Islam. Still too many other questions unanswered.

For all the hits he had in the Top 40 (114), the records he set on Billboards charts (over 900 weeks in the Top 40), the gold and platinum records (151), and the concerts given (over 1,100), people tend to forget that he was an incredibly great singer. He once said that he vocalized 2 to 3 hours ...

After Elvis released his version of this song, Paul Simon said "How in the hell do you compete with that?" Supreme compliment from the original singer.

@alexsaunter Thanks for your comments. Didn't know what 'cool' was until I saw him on tv in Jailhouse Rock. In 1966, 'cool' hit me in the face. 45 years later, it still hits me in the face when I hear the 'King' sing. Best wishes from this side of the pond.

Wolfman Jack once said " 2,000 years from now, people will still be hearing about Elvis Presley." If you watch and listen to the man perform, you know the Wolfman was right. No one before him and no one since him comes close to him. RIP, Elvis.

I remember when the Tigers had Wert at 3rd, McAuliffe at SS, Wood at 2nd, and Cash at 1st. The outfield had Demeter in LF, Bruton in CF, and Kaline in RF. The catcher was Freehan. I saw a lot of games at the corner of Mich. and Trumbell; in person and thru the eyes of Mr. Harwell on my transistor...

@JUDALATION I'm thankful that you survived that day. That said, it still doesn't mean that day wasn't sanctioned by our govt. I doubt if any member of govt. was in either of those towers. As far as the Pentagon is concerned, while not willing to kill themselves, I've no doubt they'd be willing to...

James Brown used to get together with Elvis at Graceland and the 2 of them would sing old gospel and r&b songs. When Elvis died, J B said "There will never be another like that soul brother." True words, Mr. Brown.

First song I ever danced to; I was 14, she was 16. 1968 - it just couldn't get any better! Thanks, Joyce, wherever you are.

No one before him and no one since him comes close to him. When he held a microphone, he was without equal. On New Years Eve 1975, my wife and I saw him at the Pontiac Silverdome in Mich. As he sang 'And I Love You So', tears ran down my wife's cheeks. Thanks, Elvis, for that memory and for all t...

Yamamoto was a great leader but his arrogance cost his country dearly at Midway. Had the Japanese run their 'war games' in April objectively, they might have foreseen the battle that awaited them. A couple officers pointed out to the Admiral that if the U.S. were already in position, the results ...

no luck involved. it was a battle of 2 fairly evenly matched forces. the bulk of the Jap fleet was 600 miles west of Midway. Yamamoto had dispersed his fleet over too many miles of water. essentially, the Japs had 4 carriers along with a few cruisers and destroyers. we had 3 carriers, the planes ...

@Eudor16 you have a right to your beliefs. I have a right to mine. God gave you and I that right. what you refer to as a lie I believe is the truth. I have no tangible proof that He will return anymore than you have proof that He does not exist. I do however believe the Bible to be the inerrant W...

I sat in the upper deck in rightfield on Aug. 2, 1970 at Tiger Stadium. It was Al Kaline day and I was 16. Killebrew hit 2 out and the Twins won the double-header (remember those?) but it didn't matter. I was there to see the greatest rightfielder ever on his 'day'. Thanks, Al, for the memories.

Like any list of 'the greatest' in any sport, no two are the same. Here's mine: 1) Wilt Chamberlain 2) Michael Jordan 3) Bill Russell 4) Kareem Abdul Jabbar 5) Larry Bird 6) Magic Johnson 7) Oscar Robertson 8) Jerry West 9) Kobe Bryant 10) Julius Erving. Honorable mention: Shaq, Stockton, Duncan,...

The narrator says David vs Goliath but this is severely (and constantly) overstated. Other than the 4 carriers and a few escort ships the bulk of the IJN fleet was 600 miles to the west. The 2 fleets that actually met at Midway were fairly evenly matched: 4 carriers vs 3 carriers. Any luck we had...

Just a thought: if the Lions had called 4-6 pass plays per game for Barry, they'd have been a winning team. He could catch and as soon as he did, he became a runner again. The difference: he'd already be beyond the line of scrimmage. Scary thought, eh?
