What's your view on Elvis Presley

I think his best part. Is his Gospel Music collection personally.

My favorite Elvis song is “In The Ghetto.” My Parents had a record with that song on it and I would listen to it over and over as a kid.

But, I encourage everyone to listen to just the audio of Elvis singing “Are You Lonesome Tonight” where he starts uncontrollably laughing. Turn out the lights in the room and just listen to it (using the theatre of the mind). There are versions of it where you can see what is going on, but way better if you don’t know what is going on : )

I was once listening to Coast to Coast Live one night and a caller shared a story about how his car had broke down and two black Cadillacs pulled up. A man handed him the keys to one of the Cadillacs and said that Elvis would like him to have the car. I have no way of confirming the legitimacy of this story, but what a good gesture if it is true!

I don’t really have a view on him, but I wasn’t alive when he was big in the music business. He has a nice voice, and seems like a good guy, but I really don’t know him that well.

A great talent & I grew up when he was ‘King’ & love his songs, though I was really a Beatles fan.
But also a very sad story of somebody who couldn’t handle fame & who behaved badly towards himself and others. I hope he’s at peace now.
