[suspicious_mind]

Who here besides me LOVES Elvis?
I pretty much worship the man even tho i was only 2 when he died.
He was AMAZING. :wub:

[Bob George]

I love Elvis. I more of a pre-military fan though. I love his stuff from 1954-1958. Great stuff. I also enjoy some of his films. Again though, mostly his pre-military films like Love Me Tender and Jailhouse Rock.

Those movies were AMAZING!!! I loved them and Blue Hawaii and GI Blues and sooo many more. He was really a much better actor than people thought.

[brnthsdiscout]

it's really too bad that he didn't take better care of himself...back in the 60s, not much attn. was given to personal health, it's really a shame. if he had been like madonna, how she keeps in shape and such, i think he'd still be alive today....

[suspicious_mind]

U really should go for sure. Ive been twice so far. My next stop of things to see is Tupelo where he was born.

I think he was just....sad. He kinda more or less gave up towards the end. I think its too bad he didnt have anyone around him at the time that cared enough to kinda lay down the law to him.
I mean they kept saying 'elvis wasnt the kinda person you could say go get urself help or that u could give help too...' but id have done it regardless of how he wouldve reacted.

[Bob George]

A treat for all the Elvis fans: http://youtube.com/watch?v=mc5sDt4ppnE&feature=related

You could say that was the first music video ever.

well, i know after gladys died, he was devastated, but also @ that time, physical fitness and nutrition weren't really big in hollywood like it is today...really sad...cuz i think if he had taken better care of himself or just got some professional help regarding his addictions, i think he'd still be here....

'i saw elvis the other day and shes beautiful' who said that. good line.

[brnthsdiscout]

I know what u mean but really i dont think even eating right wouldve helped him live longer. :(

yeah i agree :( it's sad, not just him, but other celebs of that era and all these 'quick fixes' the hollywood doctors had with all these pills...i'm glad today there's more awareness about addictions and just about every celeb has their own nutritionist and personal trainer :lol: i just wish elvis was still here...i think he'd be so proud of the legions of elvis fans and his career...believe it or not marci *waiting for you to spank my ass! :D* his albums still chart on billboard...esp. the gospel charts ;)

[elusive moonwalker]

i love all the money mj makes off him lol

I got this obsession to him from my dad.. :p
But I really like his songs.. And someone mentioned If I can Dream, there is one brilliant song I tell you!

Ya know whats sad? I heard that one of the last times he was in the hospital he asked a nurse 'Do you think ill be remembered?'
Of course she reassured him. Can u believe that tho? I mean here was a man who will NEVER be forgotten and he had doubts. :(
That dosent suprise me at all about the charts :wub:

U should go to Graceland and see his trophy room. Omg there are just walls and walls of records - all the gold and platinum colors are blinding :wub:

[troubleman84]

Elvis was cool for what he stood for in the basis of rock & roll: rebellion, freedom, sex appeal and youth.

Sadly Hollywood and the excesses of fame got the best of him at the end. RIP.

yeah it wasn't just him, i think with the 60s and psychadellic faze, drugs just were so much cooler and 'quick fixes' just seemed to be the thing back then. that's why i'm glad today there's more awareness on the dangers of overdoing it....great point!;)

oh marci, here's what i was talking about on elvis's site: link[/URL]
a lucky fan gets to have their pic and profile posted on their homepage...i thought it was vids like youtube :p dunno how often they put up a new pic, but @ least you'll have your pic next to elvis :D and on their homepage...

Thats just the insiders fan spotlight. If you are a member of the insiders fans then u get picked at random to share ur story. Thats all that is. A few got picked around his bday to go with Priscilla to the barns and hear some of her stories about him and get their pics taken and stuff.
Its nothing you win. Its just a matter of luck.

[brnthsdiscout]

[brnthsdiscout]

if any of you can get to las vegas, go to the elvis museum...smaller than graceland's one, but lots of cool artifacts! i met a co-star of his from blue hawaii and girls girls girls...there's a few of his jumpsuits, some gold/plat. records *@ least when i went in 06* and some great elvis tribute artists that sing his songs...my only regret, is i wish i was able to buy more stuff. but when i go back, i'll def. be maxing out my credit cards :P

he was on fire back then ('50s). in the '60s he was awesome too. i love the movies he made in that decade. at least most of them.

[suspicious_mind]

He was :wub:
The only thing that ever slowed him down was when the Beatles first came on the scene. And of course Tom Parker didnt help matters any either with his whole 'u cant tour outside the Country cause of my immigration problems' :dry:
Yeah his movies were amazing! Like u said tho...most of them. I honestly didnt like all of them - he was a great actor but the Colonel had him locked into too many of the same scripts/different title type movies, even Elvis himself was sick of it.

[Bob George]

I think the majority of his movies were pretty bad (so did he). But I love Jailhouse Rock (my absolute favourite), Love Me Tender, King Creole, G.I. Blues, Flaming Star (Elvis's best acting ever), Viva Las Vegas and The Way It Is (if you count it as a movie).

[suspicious_mind]

Yeah apparantly he used to gripe and be mad for days cause of a new script he got.
My favorite of his was 'Change Of Habit' :yes:
And of course Girl Happy, Jailhouse Rock, Thats The Way It Is, Loving You, King Creole, Flaming Star (the colonel hated that one cause there was only 2 songs...:dry: ), GI blues (LOVED when he was babysitting! lol), Viva Las Vegas, Spinout, Kissin Cousins, and Blue Hawaii :wub:

[suspicious_mind]

Oh my gosh loooooook!!!! :wub:

Elvis' Close Colleagues Jerry Schilling and Joe Guercio Enter into Multi-Year Agreements with the Elvis Cruise

2008 Sailing from Port of New Orleans

ST. LOUIS — The Elvis Cruise, LLC (the "Cruise"), the only Elvis Presley Enterprises (EPE) licensed cruise dedicated to the life, times and music of Elvis Presley, has announced that it has signed agreements with Jerry Schilling to act as the Host and Producer of The Elvis Cruise and with Joe Guercio to serve as the Cruises' Musical Director.
Schilling and Guercio bring decades of professional and personal experience with Elvis Presley to the Cruise's unique program. In his role as the Cruise's Host, Schilling, a friend of Elvis for years, is dedicated to making this Elvis experience as authentic and as rich as possible. Guercio, who also was an Elvis close friend and collaborator, will be providing cruisers with the very best in musical production.
"Both Schilling and Guercio were primarily responsible for the various production elements required to make the Cruise a true celebration of Elvis' music and a tribute to his legacy," says Michael McKay, Executive Producer of the Cruise.
After meeting Elvis at a local pick up football game in 1954 at the age of 12, Schilling and Elvis became good friends. In 1964 he went to work for Elvis as the youngest member of The Memphis Mafia. Since then, Jerry has spent the last 45 years in the entertainment industry managing such acts as The Beach Boys, Jerry Lee Lewis and Lisa Presley. Some of his TV and film projects include the A&E Biography's on Brian Wilson and Sam Phillips, and co-producing the ABC prime-time television series "ELVIS, the Early Years." Most recently he has released his memoir "Me and A Guy Named Elvis" My Lifelong Friendship with Elvis Presley. Schilling is still involved in developing projects dedicated to experiencing the life and music of Elvis, such as The Elvis Cruise.
"Many people have tried to recreate Elvis, but lost the richness of his soul. So it is exciting to be a part of an experience that has brought that richness and has sought solely to create an entertaining and authentic Elvis experience," said Schilling. He adds, "I believe Elvis would be proud of what we are doing."
Best known and admired for his work with Elvis Presley, Guercio has had a prolific career. He was musical director and conductor for Elvis' concert shows from the summer of 1970 to the summer of 1977, when Elvis made his last concert appearance. His other works include: being musical director for the International Hotel in Las Vegas, Diana Ross, Jim Nabors, Florence Henderson, Diahann Carroll, Gladys Knight, Ann-Margret and Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme; being medley arranger for Barbra Streisand's 1972 hit Sweet Inspiration/Where You Lead; and accompanying blues legend B.B. King to Rome to meet Pope John Paul II and perform in the Vatican's fifth Christmas concert. Guercio's work with Natalie Cole to reunite her on stage in duet with her late father, Nat King Cole, pre-dated her famous early 1990's duet recordings and videos with Mr. Cole.

In addition to being the Musical Director of The Elvis Cruise, Guercio has recently produced The Tanya Tucker Christmas Show.
"Jerry Schilling and Joe Guercio have a genuine personal connection and a history with Elvis Presley. They have put their hearts, souls and wealth of experience into making this program entertaining, authentic and special," said McKay. "This cruise is the ultimate experience for anyone who admires the work of Elvis, and wishes to mingle and be entertained by the best performers in the music industry."
The Elvis Cruise, which will embark August 28, 2009, from New Orleans, includes four nights and two afternoons of live onboard entertainment, with each night dedicated to one of the truly spectacular phases of Elvis' life and career, one afternoon in the Cozumel port of call and many opportunities to interact closely with Elvis' original cast musical artists.
For more details about the cruise, please visit www.theelviscruise.com (http://www.theelviscruise.com), or call 1-800-704-3034.
About The Elvis Cruise
The Elvis Cruise is the only EPE approved and licensed cruise in the world. It is dedicated to the life, times and music of Elvis Presley. The inaugural sailing of The Elvis Cruise was in August, 2007. It is a full ship charter in partnership with Carnival Cruise Line aboard the MS Fantasy.

[The_Glove]

I liked him in the 50's, thought he was pretty good then. Didn't care for him as much after that, but he still made some good tunes.

He couldn't act but i enjoyed Jailhouse rock, fave song aswell lol.

[suspicious_mind]

Yeah Jailhouse Rock was AMAZING :wub:
I think my favorite Elvis songs are "Suspicious Minds" and "Dont Be Cruel". I can listen to "Dont Be Cruel" over and over again and never get tired of it.

[FinalEyes]

Elvis was a genius and a legend, I love his music. :wub:

Thank you! I have tons of them - not enough tho. lol
Yep thats when he was all full of life - nothing in front of him but success. :wub: Those early videos of him are timeless. Even tho hes been gone over 30 years you can still watch them and get excited like he had just performed it for the first time.

[suspicious_mind]

Awww Elvis And Priscilla got #13 on the top 25 Country Couples :wub:

13) May 1, 1967 - Elvis Presley married Priscilla Beaulieu at the Aladdin Hotel in Las Vegas. The King's insular lifestyle pretty much tore them apart by 1973, and you could feel the sadness in his song choice in his final years. It's safe to say that even though the marriage ended, they never stopped loving each other.

[suspicious_mind]

The celebration will include 5 hours of non-stop entertainment by Elvis Tribute Artists, other Vegas performers, and is free to the public. Also attending and doing q & a for the audience will be a variety of Elvis co-stars from his movies, as well as Memphis Mafia member and author of Elvis book, Sonny West.

^^^Omg!!! :o:o:o
How did you get most of that?!?! :o

[Bob George]

I inherited some of it from my dad. He was a big Elvis fan. But he lost a lot of his Elvis records when he moved from England to Australia. He kept those newspapers from 1977. Pretty lucky that they are still in pretty good condition. I got some of the vinyls just from digging around at garage sales at stuff. Then I got the rest sent to me from DeAgostini which sends me Elvis magazines like every month and occasionally they send me cool stuff like the birth certificate and report card, but I had to pay extra for that stuff. None of it is really worth much. Because it's not his original birth certificate or report card, just replicas. But it's still nice to have them,

[suspicious_mind]

^^^U are soooo lucky and Ur dad is smart ^_^ U have some GREAT stuff!! The birth certificate and report card is cool even tho they are replicas like u said - its still great to have.
My mom has a newspaper from around the time he started his career and he was signing a girls chest. lol Id LOVE to have that! But i know she wont give it to me. lol
Heres a few pics of things i have - - - i used to have ALOT more but dont ask where it went. lol

You've got a pretty good LP collection. I find it pretty hard to find LPs. Especially Elvis LPs because anyone who owns them wants the keep them. I love your posters and stuff. He looks so good in the last photo where he is wearing the sweater.

[suspicious_mind]

Thanks! Yeah i got some of the LPs from ebay a couple of years ago. This guy (actually i think in Australia - lol) was selling them and it was for an insanely cheap price. The one on the bottom right ive had since i was really young, notice the wear and tear. lol
I bought the others at places like flea markets and things like that. We have one close to here called Houn Dawg Flea Market...lol And it has an Elvis section and its rare but some people wanna get rid of their things once in awaile.

[dangerous_88]

wow nice collection... I wish I had something similar for Michael :(

[Catherine..]

[rockstar]

WOW :clap: :clap:

my family we grow up listening to elvis we listen to him on christmas eve and christmas day too :yes:

i love elvis i wish i can go to graceland :)

[benscarr]

I think Elvis Presley is amazing, and one of the all time great natural talents in music. My favorite Elvis song is Burning Love.

[marialovesmjj]

I have never really been an Elvis fan, never understood all the hype around him.

I've tried to but can't. Anyone willing to point me in the right right direction?

[rockstar]

i love elvis i have elvis blanket so cool :yes: :)

[Thriller_MJ]

One of my faveourite Elvis covers

[The One.]

Wohoo my dad found a HUGE Elvis poster on our carage. I will put it on my wall someday.. :)

[benscarr]

I have never really been an Elvis fan, never understood all the hype around him.

I've tried to but can't. Anyone willing to point me in the right right direction?

The main thing the understand about Elvis is that he was Pop/Rock music's first Icon. Even though he didn't invent Rock 'N' Roll, he brought it to the mainstream, just like Michael brought the Robot and the Moonwalk to the mainstream.

[The One.]

Watch watch!! This is my new poster ^_^

http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm289/theones_01/HANNAN135.jpg
I know, it's still pretty wrinkled but I will put it on frames when I manage to buy ones! :yes:

http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm289/theones_01/HANNAN136.jpg
It says: "You can't claim he's not the king. "

[MJsPYT1]

I have never really listened to too much of his stuff. But I did watch like a two hour documentary on him on, i think, vh1 classics. It was very interesting.

[rockstar]

i have don't been listen to Elvis songs along time

but have some of elvis cd's and some of his records and i make a scrapbook of elvis presley :yes: and some other stuff too :yes:

[marialovesmjj]

Hm. Okay when you put it that way that makes sense. Thank you for putting it so clear and simple.

Well, I'm willing to be open minded about him. Can anyone recommend me some songs?

[DuranDuran]

Can anyone recommend me some songs?
I'd mainly go with the earlier stuff. Here's some good ones:

Surrender
Return To Sender
Bossa Nova Baby
Teddy Bear
Jailhouse Rock
Guitar Man
In The Ghetto
I Feel So Bad
(Marie's The Name) His Latest Flame
Little Sister
Burning Love

[The One.]

Well, I'm willing to be open minded about him. Can anyone recommend me some songs?


I would absolutely add If I can dream to those DuranDuran posted.
Also Rubberneckin' is one I think is great :)

And there's alway the classics like
All shook up
King Creole
T.R.O.U.B.L.E.
A little less conversation
I got stung
Love me tender
Blue suede shoes and
Hound dog

[The One.]

^ To add to that list, Love me is good too :)
