LONG LIVE THE KING


25 years ago today Elvis Presley died.
I own some 1200 CD's and not a single Elvis record (I should especially the Sun period,some great stuff)but I acknowldge without him about 1000 of those records wouldn't exist.......irrespective of the movie years,his tragic decline or limited writing abilities-- at his peak he was unique, original,the performer who not only made some of the most important records of 20th century popular music but the man who inspired countless others to push popular song and performance forward.
Hat's off to Elvis,the King of Rock and Roll.........

There is a nice abstraction for THE KING created by Robert Fripp(a guitarist of King Crimson) with the same name as title of this thread.
I would now just think of THE KING listening to this album.
