    Brilliant programme, love Elvis. Yes Priscilla really has gone over the top with the surgery! So beautiful when she was young, I guess she's trying to hang on to that for as long as possible!

    Elvis' pad looks sort of 'modern/retro' now - it's all gone out and come in again.:D

    I was never a particularly interested in him when he was popular, but over time I've appreciated his songs more.
    But maybe that's because I find many of the current crop of so called artists, are so dire, that I think he's streets ahead.
    I know what I prefer at a party.
    I've even a couple of his records on one of my vinyl jukeboxes, the best way to hear them.

    It feels like they have played all the best ones already and they are only up to 12

    Oh Dear. What HAD Cilla been doing to herself!

    She can barely move her mouth, her skin's been pulled so tight!
    It looks gruesome!

    I'm V+ this - as I always do any programme on ITV now so I can watch afterwards and cut out the ads - and when I DO watch it, I'm just gonna tape, to keep, the actual songs chosen, and cut everything else out!

    This is an incredibly difficult song to sing.


    He used to sing cod versions in his shows now and again though - he must of sung it just too many times. I've heard a very funny corpsing version of this.

    We were Cliff fans in our house but the first Elvis record we got was 'Return to Sender'

    That's my favourite

    Along with the Hot Banana song...........:p

    Shes 68. It looks ridiculous. Shes a very attractive woman so why has she done that.

    Without Love is absolutely hypnotic.

    Kentucky Rain

    Long Black Limousine

    A little less conversation

    I need you so (although my father said it sounded like a love sick youth wailing in a public toilet).

    Just a few of mine

    I love Elvis's voice for ballads.

    I remember discovering this - that at the time I'd never heard before - about 20 years ago. I still love it.

    Just gorgeous!

    I like that too. The "break" in that is so well done.

    I like the video of this from one of his shows where he comes on to one one of the backing singers, but "in a nice way."

    My other favourite is this.

    Very nostalgic, I like the "walking" accompaniment.
    and Scotty Moore's guitar.

    According to Wiki he's still going at 82.
