Happy Birthday Elvis!

I don’t want to think about how old Elvis Presley would have been.  I like remembering him like he was in the ‘Aloha from Hawaii’ concert or in black leather like he was dressed in when he did his TV comeback show.  Talk about the best looking man you have ever laid eyes on that can sing…………you got the total package with Elvis.  Can you imagine if his twin would have survived?  Two of them running around, what a dream.

My mother said I used to jump up and dance my little rear end off when an Elvis song came on when I was a baby about 18 months old.  I have been a huge fan all my life.  His daughter, Lisa Marie, looks just like him too.  She is a beautiful woman.  It’s a shame that Elvis didn’t live to see her grown and to see his grandchildren.  Family was very important to him.  I have never watched the last concert that was televised that he did.  I just don’t want to remember him that way.

There are so many songs he did that I love.  American Trilogy used to make me cry and does even more today.  Especially when he sings “So hush little baby don’t you cry, you know your Daddies bound to die.”  Gets me every time.
