Absolutely Hugh. I agree with you. Everyone like to have an opinion about what Elvis did or didn't do, It just goes to show how Interesting "Elvis" still is. 🤔 Really !! Elvis will Always Be The King & The knockers will TRY and Drag Garbage up about Him to What End?? Is it so important to Try and Sully His Name and Character???? They are Wasting Their Time and Effort. When it's all said and done It Won't Change The Opinion of The MULTITUDE OF FANS THAT "Elvis" STILL HAS. To me this shows how JEALOUS the muck Rakers Were and Still Are. Especially The So Called "Memphis Marfier" They didn't have Elvis Presley to Prop Them Up or Pay Their Way Anymore!!! So They Turned To Trying To Defame Him. Well it didn't work. The Proof is ALL AROUND. TODAY STARTS "The Elvis Festival" Which is held EVERY YEAR in a Rural Town in NSW AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺 Normally it is held in January Marking The Day "Elvis" came into the World. However owing to Covid-19 The Festival Date Had To Change. The Elvis Festival is so Popular Townships are Booked Out Fore Miles Around. The Elvis Train Brings His Fans to Parkes each Year and The Train is Packed to Bulging with People Who Love Elvis and His Amazing Voice. The Man has left a Legacy for us to Enjoy, Music 🎶 🎵 That can lift Everyone's Spirit and Can "Make The World Go Away" We love his Movies and Will go On Being Entertained By The King for as long as we are on this Earth!! The Love Of Elvis has been handed down to our younger ones and they are Just as Passionate as We Are. ❤ 😍 💖 ❣ 💕 💘 ❤

You'll Never Walk Alone - I love the way he sang Gospel music. His voice though still rich is so loving, tender and and even respectful, full of worship for Almighty God. It's what I play when driving my car, makes me feel like angels are flying along side of me, protecting me. As far as everything else he sang, I can't pick a favorite.

Elvis was an unique celebrity in every way. Every celebrity who has died over the last 60 years was hardly cold in the ground when there emerged all kinds of horror stories of how they used their celebrity status to abuse young women and men and treat people like dirt. Elvis is now gone 45 years and not one single story of bad behavior by the 'king' has come to light. He was one decent human being who treated the people he met, whether rich or poor with dignity and respect. When someone is as gifted as Elvis was, there is always a price to pay and though he fought bravely as only a true King could, he was eventually defeated by the demons who had haunted him for so long. But what a treasure trove he left behind for us and following generations to enjoy. Was Elvis the greatest of them all?...course he was!!

When it comes to Elvis vs. John Lennon, there aren't many instances when I would agree with Lennon, but I can see where he was coming from when he made this statement. Early Elvis was the man who inspired him to become who he was. Personally, I have always thought that Elvis' best work - BY FAR, was that which he did before he went in the Army. After he came back, he was still Elvis, but he was never again "Elvis" in my mind, and apparently, also in the mind of John Lennon. Having said that, if I had to choose between listening to the music (and being a fan of) either Elvis or the Beatles, give me Elvis - every single time. Long live The King! May they both rest in peace.

Elvis' dislike of Robert Goulet started when his girlfriend Anita Wood went on tour with Goulet. At the end of a letter Anita wrote to Elvis, Goulet added his own personal note. He wrote, "don't worry Elvis, I'm taking GOOD CARE of her." It was a stupid thing to say, and I have no idea why Anita would allow that to be added to her letter.

Yes, I remember a concert with Elton John and guest John Lennon. They sang a cool cover of (You ain't nothing but a) Hound Dog. In the middle of the song, John Lennon said, "Elvis I love you". This live cover was released on John Lennon's 4-CD Box Set.

I was and still am a big Elvis fan. When the Beatles first started, I thought they were okay singers, but the only one who has a pretty good voice was Paul. the rest were average.. John Lennon seemed to be very full of himself. He said, "Elvis died the day, he went into the army." I think Elvis is still wowing them, and just go to Graceland and see what he means to so many fans. Since he came on the scene in 1956, he has amassed as of 2017, 197 gold, Platinum, multi platinum and diamond certification awards. Also in 2017 the Beatles had 122. Case closed.

If celebrities are passionate about politics, then there is no problem with them talking about it and speaking their mind on current world issues. Most rock and roll has roots in politics. It came up from the old African American blues musicians telling how their lives were. Then it transitioned into the 60s when the next gen was protesting the war. Then the 70s when they were protesting government control on drugs. Then in the 80s they were protesting censorship and the Reagan administration. Politics have always made their way into rock and roll from it’s very start, whether it be Little Richard, The Beatles, Black Sabbath, or Judas Priest. They had millions of fans, and were still passionate about politics, and have thousands of fans who don’t even agree with their political stance, but love the music.

Elvis was right

I don't think he would've of covered five of their tunes, if he truly didn't at least acknowledge The Beatles. I don't think Elvis cared for John Lennon that much because the man was criticized in the deep south bible belt for saying The Beatles were bigger than Jesus. Because Elvis would not talk bad about anyone publicly while alive, they want to start wars over pure speculation. The Richard Nixon thing was for a badge. He collected them. Later, Elvis met with Jimmy Carter. Elvis was still doing "Something" in concert, and would later do "Little Sister/Get Back" in 1972. Frank Sinatra hated rock n roll, but later softened up on his rants when he realized that he was still successful as an artist. Elvis stayed away from expressing his views on religion and politics, which is why the liberal media likes to attack dead people, who can not even defend themselves. Elvis served in the US Army and chose not to be a draft dodger. They assume Elvis was a Republican, when he really had no interest in any political office.

I think it was very hypocritical of Elvis to dislike The Beatles. Because people didn’t like him either for some of the same reasons. Remember Elvis’s appearance on the Milton Burrell show?!!

I heard the story about Lennon's Canadian "bed-in" protesting the Vietnam War, where an interviewer came up to him and found him wearing pajamas and asked Lennon if he thought he looked silly. Lennon replied that he did not mind looking silly if he saved one life. The reporter replied to Lennon that he was deluded if he thought he saved a single life. No way to know if this was real or not.

Lots of assumptions here. For instance Elvis made a point of not discussing politics publicly and never expressed any view on the war in Vietnam.

Well, one big difference between Elvis and Lennon was that Elvis loved America and Lennon believed in Communism. John Lennon was proud of the fact that when he wrote the song IMAGINE as a musical version of THE COMMUNIST MANIFESTO most American kids sang it, loved it, and had no idea what they were singing.
