The One and Only ELVIS Please..

Love it, love it, love it. Have you ever heard his version of the famous Righteous Bros song that Elvis does? That was a question on the "Elvis Vault" . His version is so different than them, for sure. Love it. Hey, gotta love it!

No I haven't heard of Elvis singing a Righteous brother song. I'll have to look it up. I love listening to Elvis and everything he sings.
 
Nope... here it is. If you want to see the obvious difference, play the R brothers and then play this...take your choices:

 
Johnny Cash and Elvis performed together in their early days. I saw Cash imitate Elvis on a great PBS special this week on the History of County Music. Many of Elvis's gospel recordings were due to his promise to his mom to do so. Elvis's vocal range was rare.

So many things about Elvis you don't know till you listen to the old timers talk about him...
like these George Klein stories on "The Vault":

Documentaries state Col. Parker got 50% of all monies when Elvis started...I wonder how long this arrangement continued.
The doc also said Elvis let this arrangement continue for years because he was, 'grateful to Parker.'
I've never understood that?
A post on this thread states the step-father became manager of monies- Did Parker still manage: concerts...
Parker and Elvis' arrangement has always puzzled me: grateful? naïve? what?

Lots of different takes on the relationship. Listening to those that were there "in the flesh" during those years, you often get a different view of the relationship This is a pretty good overall take on it, except for the time when Elvis/Priscilla were divorcing and the money issue may have taken center stage. Sirius radio (Graceland Vault) has a lot of former friends and associates interviews - suggest you may also want to tune in there on a regular basis:

Thank you Sassy...this morning had Elvis Gospel on Sirius upstairs and downstairs!
Gotta love it. Only one drawback. Hub switches it on while we're still in bed and its so "boppy" it gets me swinging a bit too soon...ha ha.

Appreciate it, gal, as always - keep 'em coming!
 
I had a GIANT crush on Elvis. I was convinced that I would meet and marry him. Then he met Priscilla and my fantasy ended. Booo Hoooo! My favorite by him was "Return to Sender", but I liked all of his songs. He had a sexy voice and he was a very handsome man. Too bad he fell apart after his mother died.
