The more I read about Elvis and the more I look for some more information to share the more I find absolutely amazing facts. Now this doesn’t mean they might all be true but if they are he sure lived one unbelievable and I could say charmed life. Here are some of the things I found most interesting about the King of Rock and Roll.
• Everybody who was part of Elvis’ entourage was known to be a member of the Memphis Mafia. All of them wore diamond and gold rings with a thunderbolt and the letters TCB which stood for “Taking Care of Business”.
• The last car he owned was a 1976 Cadillac Eldorado complete with gold-plated hubcaps, a TV and a bar.
• I guess that is what happens when you have it all. All of Elvis’ concert jumpsuits were given names like Peacock, White Prehistoric Bird and King of Spades among others.
• His favorite sport was football and favorite team was the Cleveland Browns.
• His jumpsuits were all bejeweled and some of them weighed over 25 pounds.
• Even though he recorded over 600 songs during his career he didn’t write any of them.
These are just some of the facts that I wanted to share with you. One other thing is that my one all time favorite song is “Moody Blue” because I associate it the most with myself.

He is a legend in this lifetime and who knows how long it will go on.
I reckon it could be forever as there is a much fervour about him as there was then.

It's a shame he never wrote any songs. He was a great talent and I think that he could have written some wonderful songs. Some singers just aren't writers or composers.

However one song he did co-write which I am posting about today. @dragon54u his daughter Lisa is a songwriter so if he had lived she could have written songs for her daddy

Those roles in his movies were tailor made for him so he could sing and dance in the movies @jstory07

I think all those statements are true. He was an amazing artist in every way and I enjoyed his movies and his music. Here is my favourite Elvis song or one of the many. I chose to dance this one at my 2nd wedding.
Elvis Presley - Hawaiian Wedding Song from the film Blue Hawaii
