My aunt still has her Elvis picture still hanging to this day from the '60's, right next to her Jesus picture.

The Beatles were impressed with Elvis.
I read something interesting about that.
Incredible voice.
I seem to have always been in some time warp--between Elvis and the Beatles.
Just thankful that songs were written and performed.
It is really possible that I saw the original Ed Sullivan show when he first appeared.

He was on Ed Sullivan more than once. I saw all of them. I also saw the first performances of the Beatles on his show.
When Elvis first started out he sounded like a dying calf in a hail storm. But he had the voice and all the moves. Over time he got quite good. IMO the Beatles were always somewhat impaired as they only did 4:4 time. There is something seriously wrong with someone who can't do a waltz or a ballad. I though Ringo sucked as a percussionist, so he may have been their problem. Now, the guy who did Wipeout, HE was a gifted percussionist.

I really have forgotten what I read. John, probably, was intrigued and I believe they visited Mississippi to learn more.
I just listen and at times dance. lol
I really don't know much about Adele---but 'Rolling in the Deep' is about the last song that 'blew me away'.
Roy Orbison--'Just Running Scared'--I listened to things like that.
I will always get on my feet for 'Rocky Top'---lol.

I heard Rocky Top so much when I lived in TN that now I mostly just want to puke when I hear it. And of course, Stephen Foster's My Old Kentucky Home is no longer politically correct. When I was in high school we went to the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. They had an organist hidden somewhere playing music that resounded in the lobby. She played My Old KY Home for us. We sang along. We always sing it at our family reunions as well.
I fell in love with Elvis when I was in 3rd grade. I always enjoy his old movies when they come on TV. My favorite album is Blue Hawaii. I remember in high school slow dancing to one of the songs in it - Ku-U-I-Po.
One of his leading ladies Ann-Margaret was in Loss of a Teardrop Diamond a recent Tennessee Williams screenplay. Man, she looks old. Some things even cosmetic surgery can't fix. I just kept thinking 'THIS woman got it on with Elvis?' LOL
The close ups are much worse.
He was truly a beautiful man. Inside, and out.
Can't say the same for that woman he married, though. I wanted him to marry Ann Margaret.
