Elvis would have been 84 today...

What an incredible career he had when he gave up truck driving to become the King of Rock & Roll. 

It all started with “That’s All Right Momma” in 1956.
God bless you Elvis !

I always thought....

that deciding to marry someone by blasting out to Vegas and tying the knot in 'four eyes' with an Elvis impersonator matrician while listening to The King in the background is among the best ways to go about it ....

I happen to agree with you [nt]

Think of Him every year

Nice pics. Still has the most record sales of any entertainer, 41.5 years after his death. My family meet him in Las Vegas when I was 11. He was wearing the white leather jumpsuit! My cousin was his fan club president!

Wow.. great memories..

Can you tell us anymore ?

Be glad to.

I was very intimidated at first. He was very nice, too. He really seemed interested in how my twin brother and I were doing in school. At some point I told him that I played drums and guitar. Met Ron Tutt, his drummer and James Burton the guitar player! W... 

That’s really interesting..

What year was this ?

1974

 
 By: farkbinder01212 : January 8th, 2019-12:42
Saw him in concert three more times. The last one was in 1976.

We know Elvis was always very polite..

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : January 8th, 2019-12:51
did you feel that he had an incredible presence ?

Sure did. Anyone could see it.

 
 By: farkbinder01212 : January 8th, 2019-13:10
I can remember what was described to me years later as his "confidence." I sure knew this was a special person by the way he carried himself. I was awestruck for sure.

You can see his “confidence” ..

In films of his live shows. Just look at how the ladies in the audience react.

Love me Tender,

Suspicious Minds, Return to Sender, It’s Now or Never, In the Ghetto, Are You Lonesome Tonight Only to mention some of my favourite hits from the KING! God bless You and rest in peace!!!

There is no binge drinking at my place without "Aloha from Hawaii Via Satellite". But there are certainly also other Elvis moments …

Sounds like a great night ! [nt]

Kudos for acknowledging his bandmate D J Fontana . . .

 
 By: Dr No : January 10th, 2019-10:58
. . . in one photo, Cap'n. Elvis got all the credit, but his band was due a good part of it. Fontana passed away recently . . . . . . and Scotty Moore . . . . . . just a few years ago. Another band-mate that should've received greater accolades was Floyd ...
