Thirty five years ago today,Elvis passed on at the age of 42. Regardless of opinion ,I think most everyone can agree-he left a mark and changed music forever. This is one of my favorites.
Music Favorite Elvis moment?

Elvis isn't dead or at least not wholly so. I read somewhere he is going under the assumed name of Bubba in Bon Temps, LA.
I do understand his fame and place in music history but he was in his fat Elvis stage when I was young so I never really got exposed to his music in his heyday.

1968 Elvis, before the drug problems took over. Just jammin' with his homies. I am digging the sideburns.
I once saw a bunch of Elvis impersonators in a trivia contest. They were trying to talk in Elvissy voices the whole time.

Yeah, he was really something back then. I read somewhere that he's the most impersonated celebrity in the world,followed by Michael Jackson. Funny- both were tormented souls,led eccentric lifestyles and died tragically and far too soon.

The part where I wasn't around for any of it.

I was too young to remember Elvis during his skinny phase... I only remember my older sister swooning over some Hawaii broadcast in the 70's.

When I was four, I had big plans to marry him. I remember standing in front of our black and white television ,dancing to the beat. Good times.
I'm just so grateful that there are other members here who remember black and white tv.

You probably wrote about your love for your black and white TV on a piece of real, non-digital paper, too.

When I went to Graceland, I thought it was pretty cool. There were parts of the tour that my friends and I found quite funny, though, and some of the other people on the tour at the same time did not appreciate it. They seemed quite upset that we found humor in the sequined jumpsuits, and we kept blocking their SERIOUS photos of Elvis' grave by us taking pictures of each other next to the grave. Pfffft.
I really like his older music the best- pre-gospel phase.
