I wonder how many anti-Elvis fans are there. I wonder why they are so many Elvis critics. I am curious to know.

Man I wish I could go to Graceland. But I just don't have the money to go to Graceland but I would love to visit that place one day. Elvis is someone who made dynamic music and he had great songs. I hate that Elvis had to die so young. How did you become a big Elvis fan.

Well for me, it was back in 2009 when I heard the death of Michael Jackson, that is when I became curious about hearing about Elvis Presley. I listened to some of his songs and I was stunned about how good he was. I know Elvis since being a kid but I never really digged him until 2009. I could not believe that Elvis made a strong impact. He made songs that were impactable and that were so legendary and made songs that were memorable. That is how I became a Elvis and was convinced that he was one the masters of American Music.

go and watch the movie "jailhouse rock"...some of the moves Elvis makes in the choreography dance sequence to the title track in the movie are remarkably similar to those MJ was doing 25yrs later.
as a white guy i can say that back in the late 1950s that Elvis moved like a black guy....ie, natural rhythm!
