Died 32 years ago of prescription drugs overdose. Nevertheless I liked his voice and his songs.
He was actually a very lonely person, although on stage it appeared otherwise.
Love me tender. This song was released the month I was born - Sept 1956.
Hound Dog, June 1956. After this performance on TV, the media hounded him about his 'vulgar pelvis shaking dancing', and complaints letters were received from parents that his dancing was an 'immoral' influence to the young. Those days! Now compare him to today's singers.
Jailhouse Rock. (from his movie 1957)
Always on my mind, Elvis and Priscilla.
Suspicious mind, 1970
same song released in Aug. 1969 : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3nWcRA56Zs
