Elvis Presley - 30 years after his death and he's still The King. My love for Elvis has been passed down through my mother, when I was growing up I wouldn't be watching Disney cartoons like the rest of my friends I'd be watching Musical Comedies - I still love many of them today.
I've never heard a person say they didn't love Elvis, his music revolutionised Rock n Roll, his moves sent woman into a frenzy and 30 years on Elvis is still a huge money maker. Also, how many people do you know with the name 'Lisa Marie'. My sister named after her (just the first name) and I got the middle name :-)
My favourite all time Elvis movie is Clambake, The story is cute with Tom (Elvis) an heir to an oil mogul who would like to finally met a woman that liked him for him, not his money. When he is at a petrol station he mets a ski instructor and they trade places. It's very cute, Shelly Fabares is gorgeous - how I wanted her wardrobe when I was younger... When ever I hear Elvis singing The Girl I Never Loved I get a little choked up. I can quite intently say I've seen 90% of Elvis's movies, they're not all great some are almost painful and the only thing to bring me back for more is the music.
My favourite (how can I really say a favuorite) Elvis song is Such a Night - watch the clip from 3000 Miles from Graceland
It was a night oo-oo what a night
It was it really was such a night
The moon was bright oh how so bright
It was it really was such a night
The night was alight with stars above
Oo-oo when she kissed me
I had to fall in love
Others that I love and get filled with joy singing and as I've divulged previously I enjoy doing the housework (specifically vacuuming) while listening and dancing to The Kings music:
Can't Help Falling in Love
You're The Devil in Disguise
Suspicious Minds
A Little Less Conversation - what a sensational remix
Jail House Rock
What I'd Say (Ray Charles version too) I love this song performed in Viva Las Vegas
Frankie and Johnny - which I've had in my mind all day
Updated: Compliments to Mez, I had forgotten this beautiful song.
Now all I need to do is find a man that would agree to get married in Vegas in The Little Chapel by Elvis. Maybe a little easier… Anyone up for all you can eat pizza at The Elvis Pizzeria - A hunk a hunk of love.

tehre really was something about him in his hey-day... not so much in the fat-squeezed-into-the-suit days. That was not so attractive. But that last photo you've got - very kissable lips.
ahh Elvis, god love him <3<3<3 I was going to do my musical monday on him this year but I did it last year for his birthday and didn't know what else to say! lol. I've had If I can Dream in my head for about a week now!
