Today is the 32'd anniversary of Elvis Presley's death - on a hot August night.
In tribute:

Presley was a huge influence on rock music as a performer. Not one of my favorites because I look for the songwriters in solo acts. At the same time Elvis was at the top, Roy Orbison was equally if not more talented but got less attention because he was not a leading man type.

He did have an incredible voice - one of the finest ever. (Of course, he DID have a head start in terms of music in his genes with his Romani ancestry!)

I think this is my favourite Elvis song. There are a few others I'll post but you go Elvis.

Here's a rare live performance of Elvis in Tupelo MI I think? performing Long Tall Sally. Is Tupelo in Mississippi? Bet I didn't spell that right. At a fair, you can see the rides in the background. He really does have a presence, doesn't he? Nothing to hide behind, no wall of sound, just him and a couple of guys and a dodgy sound system.
My RnR fantasy No 2. Elvis and the Beatles collaborating together on something. Anything. Damn, that would have been an experience.
Sweet.

I think this clip is perfect "Elvis Mystique" just before he started the down slide.
