Correct. Cried when he died.
Replying 16 years later ... Yes, I think a pilgrimage to Gracelands at least once in one’s life should be made an obligationWent to Graceland last year and got my photo taken with the Big 'E', I call it that photo 'The Two Kings'.
I am not a huge fan of the US and really never had much ambition to visit the place but I was quite surpised when I went there last year. We were in Memphis so naturally we went to Graceland and the whole tour was really well done. I was expecting it to be cheesy and blown out of proportion but it really was quite tastefully put together and interesting.
Should have recorded a single at Sun studios whilst I was there too !!

And like you, I found it surprisingly tasteful and even moving, which I didn’t expect. I cut my single at the renowned Studio B in Nashville, the very studio Elvis recorded in after signing with RCA - of course, with today’s technolog, they can make anyone sound magically in tune and half decent.
Have always liked this tribute, both to Elvis and the land of the Delta blues -
"If you looking for trouble, you came to the right place"
Yes QuietB, right on both counts and with that song {like a lot of songs he sung} he sings it with such passion and sorrow that if you listen to it and you at least don't get sad, then I'm afraid your not human!
Nick Cave brings it to the modern era,with more sadness.Yes QuietB, right on both counts and with that song {like a lot of songs he sung} he sings it with such passion and sorrow that if you listen to it and you at least don't get sad, then I'm afraid your not human!
