Elvis Presley a man being white who could sing like a man that was black.Ironic! Sun Records? He definitely used his natural talent to sing, dance, and charm. He gave to music a different spectrum his version of the new and very popular rock and roll. The young people of that time were breaking away from tradition. Elvis could and did reach out and touch people through his music." Elvis" needed to happen and so he did! most of his music had a message though he never claimed to be a preacher.He was also a man that had a life and a wife and a family.The cost of being a star is high the cost of being a superstar is very high and he paid it.He left us very early to early like a roman candle most people will always see the pop the colors the why.I want to remember more the what that was behind the why.He was able to promote himself through his own talents and as people do  they saw in him someone extraordinary.I believe he only hurt himself in the end and his family paid a large price for his fame.He is or soon will be whats known as epic.As in all things and through the passage of time things fade.or pass away.I would like to remember the Elvis that at 13 checked out a book about our former  President Andrew Jackson.for himself. RIP.Go be with God or goodbye to a king.  

You mean that he could read?

Cool but I wanted the Eddie Cochran one ! ahha Well Elvis really could
sing, as for his brains I wonder sometimes. He's the guy that wanted to help
the USA Government arrest The Beatles they say cause he was jealous of
them. Nixon gave him this drug agent badge, but Elvis was the biggest pill head
around! 
   Great singer though, real American to the core. You'll never see another
Elvis, but I wanted the Eddie Cochran Autograph !
