I remember buying the '68 Concert on DVD for my mum ... and heard, for the first time, him singing "If I Can Dream" ... the type of song that would have been familiar to him as a child growing up in a poor environment, heavily imbued with Gospel ... it still brings a lump to my throat. (I was only 13 when he died, and while not an ardent fan, I do still love to hear his voice) ... :o)

Amazing talent.
here's an interesting Elvis fact: between Summer 1969 and June 77 Elvis performed 1,128 concerts And a good chunk of those were in single venues in Vegas - his first season in Vegas was 54 shows in 4 weeks. Can't imagine the prima donna celebs now being such workhorses. |

^ exactly. And what are the chances of 3 people like John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison
ever coming together again. No dis-respect to Ringo, but he was one lucky sod in the right place at the right time. And what are the chances of a single performer like Elvis ever coming along again. |

I was working in betting office in Long Row,just off St Martins Lane in the West End..
It was one Saturday morning before the dogs.I went outside to have a fag and watch the girlies go by,when low and behold Paul McCartney comes strolling along.Stopped him and had a chat for a few minutes. |
