Re: Romance: June Juanico - an almost Mrs Presley

June was such an independent lady, and one with great sense of humour and sense of self.

It was inevitable that she would leave him, and by all accounts led a happier life.

Re: Elvis, Tony Joe White and Polk Salad Annie

Thanks for this. TJW was excellent for Elvis. Apart from the most famous of his cover- Polk Salad Annie- my personal favourite is For Ol'Times Sake.

it is just curious the sympathy towards Parker

Re: Elvis In The A.I. Realm Appreciation Thread

I enjoy these fun clips.

It is very obvious that it is alternate history type fun.

But I don't think I will listen to an AI song purporting to be Elvis.

Re: Elvis first mention in Dutch Magazine

Love reading these early articles.

"One of the matadors of this music, the American Bill Haley, has candidly said that you just have to play the music upside down."

Old Bill having a joke on the squares!!!

And Elvis has a 'boxer's nose and a weak face"???!!

Re: EPiC - new film - thoughts from the premiere




So Neon and Universal Pictures will distribute EPiC next year.
No idea if it matters who get the rights….and also no idea if that makes
any difference regarding a Bluray release.

To me it suggests that the producers have waited for ...

Re: Elvis duets



If a real cool duet was made with Taylor Swift Id think it could be a hit.
But it means really chaning things up.

Create something new. The christmas duets had nothing to appeal to younger generation.


yes it would probably be a #1 hit because all the Swifties would buy it ;) ...that said a ...

Re: Songs from Elvis movies

One example of well choreographed track is Walls Have Ears.

( In) Famous in the fan community due to appearance of ' Little Elvis'(!!!), the song has lovely, clever choreography. The stationary camera is well positioned to highlight the focus on objects that shake, tremble, fall and the sound ...

A meditative introspection in what went wrong in a relationship, Elvis brings an understated wistfulness that is genuinely touching. Like many Elvis' songs, this one gets over just when you get in the mood though. The alternate take 6 reminds me of the piano songs of ...

Re: Elvis duets

One singer I would have most loved Elvis to duet with is Brenda Lee.

They both have that exact mix of raunchy, sexy, sweet, raspy, wild style.

Elvis was so good looking as a teenager. I wonder how did Sam or Scotty didn't notice? They always speak of him as a pimply, greasy kid!
