Thumbs up Elvis Presley - 30 years have now passed

And still he has the power to stir the soul.

No-one before, or since, has quite had that 'something' ...... quite a special human being.

I went to see 'him' a few years back at the MEN Arena

was quite good in all fairness, I originally went more curious about how it would be all integrated, and I was pleasantly surprised

Only thing was I went with my Mum and her Mate, as they are stupidly big Elvis Fans

Although not stupid enough to go to Graceland this week

I agree.

shame he died so young.

I have those number 1s released a couple of years ago, I keep meaning to get the last one but keep forgetting..

He broke the mould. Stupendous voice. Brought black/white music together.

Charisma - He did it for music what Clinton did for politics,

I wasn't a fan but without Elvis we would not have had The Beatles, John Lennon was a massive fan of his.
Cheers

There can be more than one, you know!

AND my point wasn't about him being MY Special Human Being .... there 'just are' certain people who can move souls and light a room - charisma.

And I admire those people - Clinton was another, brilliant speaker.

Its just a pity when they use it for their own advantage and against that of others though.

I agree about Presley, very special ability and he is missed alright.

Very true these days Pete. Will we ever see a strong leader with honour as well I wonder?
