Elvis Presley
After catching the programme on TV Elvis recently, has made me realise what a rather lovely and unique voice this man had.
I love so many of his songs (I've just purchased another CD http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9sRJ-eOHnc Here's one I just put on the Break-Up songs thread

It is without question some of my favourite music ever. |

Gertrude, I promise you there are many, many real gems in Elvis' 60s and 70s releases.
Yes, his Sun records were innovative and unique and it's the done thing to say that was his only valuable output, but delve deeper than that and there is much more to him than that. Have a listen to From Elvis in Memphis (1969) for starters. I hope the programme introduced Elvis to a younger audience - as they say, he wasn't called the King for nothing! |

I like quite a few Elvis songs, but if I had to pick one favourite, it would probably be this.......

Elvis. From achingly tender in "Don't" and "Young and Beautiful" to oozing raw sex appeal in "One Night Of Sin".
On top of that, the most beautiful man ever. |
