American Trilogy came to my mind after seeing the post title before I opened this thread. Lots of great Elvis songs but the Trilogy is the only one on my iTunes account. The rest are on CDs with Kentucky Rain and I Can't Help Falling in Love with You my next well-liked tracks.
The Mayans had it right. If you�re going to predict the future, it�s best to aim far beyond your life expectancy, lest you wind up red-faced in a bunker overstocked with Spam and ammo.
You sure about that? He was the bass player in Buddy Holly's band. Giving up his plane seat to Buddy and took a bus. That plane crashed a short tome later killing Holly.
Burning Love, Jailhouse Rock, Can't Help Falling In Love.
Waylon Jennings and Jessi Colter did Suspicious Minds back in the seventies.
Waylon, was Elvis's bass player for a long time. He ended up quitting disgruntled because he was writing so many songs for Elvis and getting so little recognition or loyalties for his work. After he left, he sold more records than Elvis and Buddy Holly (another guy he played bass for) combined. Whenever you hear Waylon do an old 'Elvis' song, it really was a Waylon song in the first place-- Suspicious Minds may be the best example, but there are many more.
Did Elvis ever write a song? He sure did have a pretty voice and a lot of women who liked him, I'll give him that, but my mom got me to the point to where I couldn't stand him. Back in the day when a dozen 8 tracks was a big ol' box and quite a music selection, I think she might of had ten of 'em that were Elvis and two Conway Twitty's that she played everywhere she went. I got to where I would prefer silence to either one of those two choices. I think she cried for a week when Elvis died.
I think your thinking Eddie rabbitt....http://www.elvisblog.net/2007/06/17/elvis-and-waylon-jennings/ I know a lot about Elvis,since that's all I got to listen to as a kid, seen him to .....wrote my name on his wall at Graceland!! Twice!.... The GI blues album... Damm fine tunes!
America needs to understand that our troops are not 'disposable'. Each represents a family; Fathers, Mothers, Sons, Daughters, Cousins, Uncles, Aunts... Our Citizens are our most valuable treasure; we waste far too many.
For me it is clear . . . The first and earlist Elvis song I remember on the radio . . . Be bop a Lula . . . I still sing that phrase to this day in my best Elvis voice!!!

Alaska asked me to help him fix his link. I'm glad I did because this is another dandy. We really got cheated with the King's early passing.

You must be right, I thought that I heard a Paul Harvey 'Rest of the Story' that told the story above, (still pretty sure I did) but I can't find one on youtube now so I wikied Elvis various bands and don't see Waylon there-- I did find this looking around though . . .
... Elvis shuffling around in Nixon's desk looking for pens to hand out to his entourage. Kentucky Rain and In the Ghetto are my two favorites after Trilogy.
Mine too. After his mom's premature death, Elvis' grew more soulful and his music more powerful.
Many years ago, I read Albert Goldman's critical but remarkably captivating Elvis biography - it painted a dark picture but really cemented me as an Elvis fan.
