:)Since Elvis would have been 72 this year, I have been watching many tributes to him on T.V. He was my favorite when I was growing up. Yesterday went out and bought a few CD's of his since my brother took all my 45's. Really enjoyed listening to them - especially the "Viva Las Vegas" CD and also I bought one with his "ballads". I thought he was great and "what a voice"! Such a shame he had to die at such a young age.
About 9 years ago I went to Graceland and Beale Street. Enjoyed walking through the Mansion and then on Beale Street where Elvis bought his clothes growing up.
I believe he was and is "The King of Rock and Roll"!

I have also been to Graceland and Beale street jazz clubs and restaurants. But I've never been a big Elvis fan.

Barry...................you sound like my husband. He went to Graceland and Beale St. as he knew I wanted to go there. I didn't care for Elvis' movies, but loved the way he sang.

It's always a trade off. I wanted to go to a Hockey game in Nashville. To do that the trip included Memphis. Oh we also got to see a live show at The Grand Ole Opry.

:)Barry......................how right you are - always a trade-off. I've never been to the Grand Ole Opry. Would like to go. Friends of mine from Tennessee live there, so maybe when we visit them we will get there. I hope!!!

:)Mike...................thanks for the link. I could listen to 50's and 60's music all the time. Just got the link, and they were playing "The Platters" - "Only You"!
Again, thanks.

I WAS NEVER A BIG ELVIS FAN..ALL MY FRIENDS LOVED HIM, BUT I DIDN'T CARE FIOR HIM TOO MUCH. THE ONLY SONG OF HIS THAT I LIKED WAS " I WANT YOU, I NEED YOU, I LOVE YOU". THAT SONG ALWAYS GAVE ME THE CHILLS.
