When Elvis was induced into the U.S. Army he was under no illusion about his identity. He even stated that the service could do whatever it wanted with him and he demonstrated this humility time and time again during training. In many ways, he wanted to be seen as a human being outside of the music industry and his positive approach to the military demonstrated this.

While some might argue that it was all a political stunt to garner more attention for his return to music, few can argue with the facts that point to more than two years where he placed himself in danger defending his country. He even donated a sizable portion of his income to the service.

I personally think that critics were too hard on Elvis’s movies. His movies were pretty good, and his acting wasn’t bad at all. I would rather watch one of his movies than 75 of the movies put out today. A few of my personal favorites are “Roustabout” and “Kid Galahad”. The same is true about his music. It is incomparable. They will be playing his songs long after many of today’s artists have been forgotten.

Elvis will always be “The King” and deservedly so. There will never be another like him.

Undoubtedly Elvis Presley is a legend. Elvis has over 800 songs to his credit and each and every one of them is magical. Elvis understood the meaning of music, lived it and made it eternal.Didn-t catch that? This explains it. Every song of his had a brightness much like the brightness of sunlight and it gave us hope for many more to come!

This King of Rock ‘n Roll not only understood music, but he also had an iconic presence and appearance. As soon as we hear the name Elvis, that iconic image comes to mind within a fraction of a second. His songs are loved by one and all and have an amazing effect on our lives much like the rays of sunshine. We are so fortunate to have a legend like Elvis who has given us the gift of love and music to cherish for ever.

Elvis lives on through his music and through the unabashed love of millions and millions of fans, many who continue to worship him even though he was gone before they were born. Elvis is gone, but his magic is so strong that he’ll never be forgotten.

Although you can join the droves of Elvis disciples that still flock to Graceland every single day, you don’t need to go all the way to Memphis for the full experience. Today, Elvis will meet you in Heartbreak Hotel, at this brand-new tribute Web site featuring all things Elvis Presley: his history, his memorbilia, his songs, lyrics, recordings, photos, writings, and much more.

They say Rock ‘n Roll will never die, and neither will The King. You can meet him anytime you want, at that same old sad spot he made famous so many years ago: Down at the end of the block, at the the Heartbreak Hotel.

Some of Elvis’ best music was his rock and roll hits. “Jailhouse Rock” comes to mind first. Then, of course, his rendition of “Blue Suede Shoes.” Who can forget Elvis rocking along while swinging his hips, early in his career, causing him to be partially censored on “The Ed Sullivan Show?!” Of course, this earned him the nickname, “Elvis the Pelvis!”

Personally, though, I feel two of his better rock songs came later in his career. These songs would be “Burnin’ Love” and “Suspicious Minds.” Both have melodies and rhythms that stick with you long after the songs are over. “Burnin’ Love’s” lyrics are, still, well, hot! “Your kisses take me higher, like a sweet song of a choir. You rock my mornin’ sky…burnin’ love.” Wow, right?

While “Burnin’ Love” is clearly about a newer, passionate love, “Suspicious Minds” certainly has a different message and feel. “We can’t go on together with suspicious minds.”, is clearly about a lack of trust in love.
