He sounded great but its no confidence that he is the widest copied voice to perfection on the planet. Even I could do a convincing Elvis line. 

 

You want a good male singer? Steve Perry. Fuck me even Phil Collins has a better voice. 

Steve Perry has a great voice,Art Garfunkel has a great voice,but saying Phil Collins has a better voice than Elvis,oh Marone! Give Turdseye his meds back immediately.

This is so fucking stupid I’m not going to insult you, you’re doing the work for yourself.

 

Well done.

Been watching loads of interviews on youtube recently with the likes of The Wrecking Crew,Muscle Shoals session artists and also Reggie Young,who grew up around Elvis,Roy Orbison,Johnny Cash etc. They are fascinating to listen to.

Elvis invented strippers?

When Elvis was in Hawaii he saw some native Hawaiian women selling flower wreaths (leis). He bought one and was told they were raising money to build a memorial to the USS Arizona. He bought them all, then put on a benefit concert and donated the proceeds (along with a personal donation) and as a result the memorial to those soldiers stands today. He was a true class act.

Love elvis,  he didnt have the singing ability of art garfunkel or the writing ability of the beatles. But he had charisma and singing talent. Any wrestling fan would tell you hulk hogan couldnt wrestle but he had charisma 

 

Quick reminder of one the worst takes in Internet history

Elvis Presley: Paul Simon - 'The King's cover of my song was unbelievable'

ELVIS PRESLEY covered a track originally sung by Simon & Garfunkel that was so good, the writer of the song didn't want to "compete" with the King's superior version

Elvis Presley covered a staggering amount of songs throughout his career. This meant he pulled tracks from other artists after they had already become well known in the music industry. One of these songs came from American singer-songwriter duo Simon & Garfunkel

 

The song, Bridge Over Troubled Water, was covered by Elvis for his 1970 album That's The Way It Is, but was never released as a single.

 

The star's album was a meagre success, reaching number 21 on the Billboard Hot 200.

However, the King's version of Bridge Over Troubled Water left the writer of the track, Paul Simon, stunned.

Speaking in 1972, he called the King's adaptation of the song "dramatic". He added: "But so was the song.

"When I first heard Elvis perform Bridge Over Troubled Water it was unbelievable." (Via Rolling Stone)

 

Simon added: "I thought to myself: 'How the hell can I compete with that?'"

He went on to say he was happy he didn't have to continue the song's story with a "follow-up".

 

The singer said: "From that point of view, I’m delighted that I didn’t have to write a Simon & Garfunkel follow-up to Bridge Over Troubled Water, which I think would have been an inevitable let-down for people.
