Best known for dying on the crapper The same fate befell King George II in 1760 tho Elvis was probably the better singer.

27 Dollars for the vigil this year according to the BBC. Felonious It was free for those who have attended any of the other events, which I imagine most people have. I went to a few things such as Mac Davis ( who was absolutely brilliant), Bill Medley( Righteous Brother, also very good.) Amazing to actually see / meet fans from absolutely all over the world...I knew he was big in Germany, Australia, Japan ( a group of 30 Japanese giving a word perfect rendition of Wonder of You) Etc, but other than USA and the UK South America and the Middle East are phenomenally represented. As Joe says, the house is small. Not pretentious and seems like a " home" Just off to his birthplace in Tupelo today , and " the Wonder of You" concert in Memphis tonight.

Is it true he was called the King because of his regular visits to Burger King? Don't be cruel.

Elvis made such an impact on people's lives that a Chinese serial killer used one of his songs in his defence:
"I just can't help bereaving".

"If I Can Dream" uses direct quotations of Martin Luther King, Jr. It was recorded by Presley in June 1968, two months after King's assassination.
Still relevant lyrics today.
There is a " racial" undercurrent/tension here in Memphis. On the news yesterday it was said to be the second most violent American city. Next year is the 50th anniversary of Martin's death in Memphis.....preparations are being made now. The way things are going I can see things kicking off here next year....if not before.
There must be lights burning brighter somewhere Got to be birds flying higher in a sky more blue If I can dream of a better land Where all my brothers walk hand in hand Tell me why, oh why, oh why can't my dream come true oh why There must be peace and understanding sometime Strong winds of promise that will blow away the doubt and fear If I can dream of a warmer sun Where hope keeps shining on everyone Tell me why, oh why, oh why won't that sun appear
We're lost in a cloud With too much rain We're trapped in a world That's troubled with pain But as long as a man Has the strength to dream He can redeem his soul and fly Deep in my heart there's a trembling question Still I am sure that the answer gonna come somehow Out there in the dark, there's a beckoning candle
And while I can think, while I can talk While I can stand, while I can walk While I can dream, please let my dream Come true, right now Let it come true right now
As an aside Al Green's church, the Full Gospel Tabernacle, is 5 minutes from Graceland.

The best male singing voice that there has ever been and ever will be. That's the biggest load of cod's wallop I've ever heard. You need to broaden your horizons (considerably) and listen to some opera and jazz.

No it isn't codswallop at all it's my opinion and you can stick yer Opera because that's a completely different style of singing voice to what we are discussing here. Great use of the word Codswallop though

"Aged just 42 when he died of a heart attack, the singer's notorious love of unhealthy food could not have helped. His favourite sandwich was said to consist of two slices of fried bread, with crispy bacon and fried bananas, smothered in jam and peanut butter."
You can get one in Randers Graceland in Denmark.

It was prescription drugs that really led to the mess he became...

It was prescription drugs that really led to the mess he became... It was. I think , but can't recall immediately that they found 19 prescription drugs in him at his autopsy. Also he was depressed , a comfort eater, had an enlarged heart and suffered from glaucoma and cataracts, which were causing him a lot of pain.At that time cataracts could not easily be operated on and no one wanted to take a risk with Elvis's eyes. In his last concerts he had to be led off stage , not being able to see at all, having been exposed to the stage lights. Bearing in mind his mother died at 46 of depression , alcoholism ( although Elvis was anti alcohol and " he believed" anti drugs) and a heart attack and if you see the two together you can see that genetics also played a part.

He died a few days before our opening match against Mansfield. It really kicked off there. He had a good voice, but he never really did it for me. Mat Munroe - now your talking.

Love his singing. There's been loads of cracking singers. I think Sammy Davis Jnr had a belting voice, very underrated.

Isn't there something knocking around on the Internet about some guy with the exact same dna as elvis? Or was it his twin brother?
Basically I've no idea.
