Elvis Presley Birthday and homage  |

 Hey everybody, it's The King's Birthday today.
What do you think about his music and his life?
Did his music leave an influence in your life?
What are your favorite songs?Elvis Presley, Rock Musician/ Singer/ Actor
* Born: 8 January 1935
* Birthplace: Tupelo, Mississippi
* Died: 16 August 1977 (heart attack)
* Best Known As: "The King of Rock 'n Roll"Famous in life, Elvis Presley has become even more famous in death as an icon of American music and TV-era celebrity. Presley hit the charts as a rock 'n roll rebel in the 1950s. His 9 September 1956 appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show (with Presley shown only from the waist up to hide his swivelling hips) turned him into one of the era's biggest stars. His many hits included "Jailhouse Rock," "Hound Dog" and "Blue Suede Shoes." He also appeared in dozens of lighthearted movies designed to let him cavort and play the guitar onscreen, including King Creole (1958, with Walter Matthau) and Blue Hawaii (1961, with Angela Lansbury). In the late 1960s, after a period of declining fame, he remade himself into "The King," a melodramatic icon known for his sequined karate-style jumpsuits and megaconcerts. The loyalty of his fans is famous; though he died in 1977, sightings of a supposedly surviving Elvis became a kind of international running joke. Elvis's Memphis home, Graceland, has become a permanent shrine to the singer.

I'm still building up some courage to record something on the karaoke site, but when I'll finally do it "Love me tender" will probably be there. | |

| 4. underdogtoo (2001) | 4 weeks ago |  I feel privileged to have lived at the time when this phenomenon of a man lived. In many ways he has influenced my own life and made me who I am with dreams made by listening to his songs. He eventually died a man less than the legend that he is now, a man cut down in his prime and a victim of his own success.

Elvis was one of those phenomenon artists, that had a great impact on the people of their time. He was a great talent and I'm sorry that we don't get to see such artists nowadays, when music is mostly a money-making machine. | |

(113) | | I think that Elvis changed the world, with his influence on Rock and Roll and in many indirect ways, on all music since then.
What do you think? | |

(1911) | | I just read that Kurt Cobain is the highest grossing dead entertainer. Elvis comes second, behind him. I can't figure this out. I understand that Nirvana was and continues to be extremely popular but... | |
