This would have been epic to see live. We had the double LP when I was a kid.

Look at the two Elvis videos I posted. They were recorded in 1973 and 1977.
How the hell does someone fall so far, so fast. I know the answer is drugs, but I don't get it.

 

[DanielSimpsonDay]

Watched How Great Thou Art from '72 and '77. The difference is undeniable. That he got it together from '68-'74 was great. The decline, though...

 

[Regan MacNeil]

Always liked this performance. Seemed like he was having a blast.

When I was a kid, Elvis movies always played on the independent (now CW) station. While many of his movies are not distinguished even by their music, I always thought Elvis seemed like a cool, older brother who was also a singer/racecar driver/tour guide/helicopter pilot/lifeguard.

Happy birthday!

So why was Elvis such a big deal?



This is as close to perfection as you can get in music.

Sure, he became a joke, but at one time, he was as good as it gets.

How do you know you’re not going to see him at KFC today?
