+5I can't in all honesty say I love him,but I respect his work and music,and the fact that he served his country

Thanks again :)
and
and
I would have liked him to do more serious acting I think he would have been very good.
With his looks how could he not.!
Thank you :)
My father looked like him, so of course, Dad wore the same hair etc. Thank GOD he drew the line at sequins...
Loved this one too. This was a little more serious. He did have
LOVE ME TENDER was kind of serious. First movie he did. It was well done, too.
...thanks for posting that it was most enjoyable :))
Thank you strawberry :)
This is, and always will be, a song I very much attribute to the way he was.
He really did do it his way that's for sure...great man...great song.!!
Thank you Mrkando...very much :)
He had a flight crew on call 24/7 and because he could not simply run down to a restaurant like the rest of us he would simple fly to some remote part of the country, and at times other parts of the world, where he would not be hounded but the press to have dinner. It could have been any time of day or night. With the exception of when he was performing, on tour or otherwise, he spent most of his time at Graceland. Beautiful home but surprisingly small considering how wealthy he was. He spent most of his time in the basement in a very lavish den.
Because he was not free to simply run out any time he wanted to he had another building on the grounds that they showed as part of the tour. It was a Movie Theater. So he never had to lea...

Because he was not free to simply run out any time he wanted to he had another building on the grounds that they showed as part of the tour. It was a Movie Theater. So he never had to leave the grounds to watch a movie or a re-run of one of his performances. The most surprising thing of all was to find out how much of his life was not his own. He could not simply go take a walk or go and do like everyone else because he was simply too famous and would never be left alone. That fame may have indeed led to his demise.
I am normally not in awe of most men. I like women too much. But this man captured my interest from a very early age. He was a consummate performer and truly one of the very best. They would always start his performance while on tour with the band playing the theme from 2001 A Space Odyssey. It was so appropriate and by the time that was over the place was jumping. Incredible experience.
This was his lead in before he ever came on stage!
In his own words........''thank you..thank you very much''
Much appreciated Mrkando :)
Teddy Bear huh.!! any particular reason for that one ;)) lol
He sure was one very special entertainer...very few will ever match his persona and charisma...and those eyes of his must have melted a helluva lot of hearts.
Thank you...thank you..thank you very much (just like he used to say) :)
I hope to maybe one day visit Graceland myself...
Good choices...thank you very much :)
something to remember if I ever make it there....;)
Living room!
Thanks for the pics :)
I also love this one too....I love the words so much...
..
Thank you very much my beautiful friend :))
Thank you very much Kat :)
