Wow. Forty years since Elvis Presley passed. Here's a few links I came across re all this. His older music and cherry picked selections from the later years sit on my music player always.

Chuck Berry was the king, not Elvis.

Thanks for posting - A day I remember very well, 40 years ago I was travelling B.C in Canada, visiting friends in Langley near Vancouver when the tv showed the news of Elvis. My favourite is Heartbreak Hotel.
Cheers

hey...I live in BC, and live close to Langley near Vancouver right now. I also found out about the Big E's death the summer of 77 while living in BC. I went out and bought his latest album, Moody Blue I think it was.

Ray Davies on meeting Elvis:
"In the week of the 40th anniversary of Elvis Presley’s death, Davies casually lets slip that not only did he meet Elvis but that The King came to see The Kinks. ‘It was in the Whisky a Go Go, a small club in LA,’ says Davies. ‘We had a very brief conversation, just brushed past each other really. He said, “Hello”, I said, “I’ve got to go on in five minutes.”

Last night I watched a show about Elvis' 1970 Las Vegas shows. All live footage of rehearsals, the show, and a few minutes following the show. Very enjoyable. In the crowd were Sammy David Jr., Juliette Prowse, Xavier Cougat and Charo, Cary Grant, and a few other celebs. I have to say that Elvis did put on a great, energetic show.
I watched that too...twice.
Just looked like they were having so much fun. And him talking to the girl backup singers, my wife commented, man he just seems so nice and doesn't have a racist bone in his body. Just his good southern upbringing I suppose!

Say what you want but Elvis' 1968 Comeback Special was the high-water mark in rock and roll.
And no human being on Earth - male or female - ever looked better than he did for that special.
