anyone who doesn't like Elvis or The Beatles must be off their head imo - gifts from God.
I liked the Beatles not Elvis he was a fat loud mouth yank with cra p music
god I would have loved to have lived in the 60s in 500 years time people will pick up history books and say how the hell was there so much talent around at the same time.

he had the x factor like no one has since. The Beatles were the best songwriters of the century.

Whats green and rocks at the bottom of the garden ? Elvis Parsley
Howdi - your spot on - 60s & 70s gave us the most innovative music production ever,there's good stuff either side of those 2 decades but generally speaking they were by far the best - Beatles - Presley - Pink Floyd - Motown - Stones, you could go on and on and on, superb hits every week on the radio, your lucky if you hear one decent song per month now.
I'm a Beatles fan but tell me one person in history who had more charisma than this fella.
How old is this documentary ? That Priscilla woman must be 65 now
Howdi,this cant be a recent doc ...her parents are being interviewed
were they his parents?
God how sad that last performance was he looked 60 not 42 obvious he was so ill.

his mother died when he was in the army and his dad died a few years after him
cheers Burt. Ive never seen pictures of him at his last gig very sad. I suppose these days he would have been in hospital not in front of thousands - looked awful.
between 7-10 years difference at a guess, he met her when she was 14 and he was serving in Germany
I had no choice Howdi as my mum was a big fan. She saw him twice and has been to Graceland 3 times
:) There are very few I'm in awe of but as a big sports fan and footy fan the only ones I am are:
Elvis - Beatles
Maradona - Pele - Best
There likes don't come across very often.

I think you can tell true greatness when its crosses generations.
you'll find his final concert available on a torrent Howdi. CBS turned it into a tv special, i think it was about 2 weeks before he died and was in Philadelphia.
cheers Burt. Ill never forget when my Grandad called me 3 weeks before he died about 13 years ago and he's been in hospital and said
'tape me some more of The Beatles best stuff its bloody brilliant'
He must have missed it first time around
:D

Not a fan as such Howdi ,but just found myself watching :)
I was on holiday when he died. I pushed the front page of the paper under the khazi door. My mrs thought it was a spoof newspaper. When she found out it was true she got pi55ed for 2 days. :)
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.
