@denisjl100 I'm happy you said that! And i agree we are both right!
-
@PenelopeBaker i think we are both right to a certain extent. i'm canadian but i had american friends and they got drafted right after high school if they didn't further their education. also they didn't draft only sons. elvis was an only son and he was 23. smells bad to me. i think they scared the colonel a little and he encouraged elvis to soften his recording of black music. i agree with you his music was always great but he didn't do the edgy stuff but other peoples accepted stuff

@denisjl100 Ya, but Elvis was still great after the army and all those people you named have nothing to do with Elvis, Elvis loved Gospel, he loved music.I do agree that Rock and Roll got a little soft. I don't know those people good enough (okay I don't know Elvis ;-) but I reed/ have read books about him) to say anything about that. I'm sure you're right I just don't think the army got him softer (sofTER because he was still great(the best) and raw) I really enjoy reading your opinion!

@PenelopeBaker i think in the early days of rock and roll the music was raw and exciting. in the mid to late fifties the new music scared adults. how do you explain elvis going into the army, chuck berry sent to prison, little richard scared into religion at the height of his career, allen freed taken to trail for something that had been practice since the begining of recorded music. the music softened after 1960 and we got homogenized music without the raw edge of the 50s

@denisjl100 mmm maybe, I think the movies made him soft (and then I'm referring to the movies he made after his army-years) I do agree, I love the old stuff 2!
-
@PenelopeBaker absolutely. we would have never heard all those great songs that 50's society tried to hide for our own "good". blacks couldn't get their music played in the white media where the real money was. elvis made that all possible. his music was great before the army but i think it got a little soft after. i love the old stuff.

@denisjl100 I see your point, But the world would not been the world if Elvis wasn't there.
<3 ELVIS <3

@PenelopeBaker great as lennon was i have to disagree. don't get me wrong i love elvis presley. i have 70 of his albums and there is nothing like him. i listened to a lot of black music before elvis came along and it was great stuff. what elvis did was by singing black music he made it allright to listen to it. he also gave us a treasure trove of new music to listen to.

The word 'cool' had a different meaning at one time. Then came Elvis and a noun became a verb. He oozed cool. Wolfman Jack once said "2,000 years from now, people will still be hearing about Elvis Presley. They'll still be calling Elvis the greatest ever." I've said it before.... no one before him and no one since him comes close to him. You can RIP, Elvis; 34 years after your passing, you are STILL the MAN.
