My favourite ever is The Wonder of You
When no one else can understand me, when everything I do is wrong, you give me hope and consolation, you give me strength to carry on, and you are always there to lend a hand in everything I do, that's the wonder, the wonder of you  |

You are glad someone died  saying stupid things doesn't make you edgy or contraversial, it just makes you plain stupid "
No, plain, a little bit sick  |

Of course everyone is entitled to their opinion although it is about how you present it.
However, Elvis Presley, the biggest selling solo artist of all time.
Over rated? No chance.
If Elvis was over rated, what about all the artists who sold WAY WAY less than Elvis?
Goodnight. |

"I wasn't a fan, I got upset when Marc Bolan died on 16 September 1977  "
Oh one of my mates was bereft
He remained a fan until he popped his own clogs
All 3 songs at his funeral were T-Rex |

I agree that he was over rated. All those songs everyone loves? He had little to no input in writing them. I don't think ive ever been glad someone was dead mind you  |

Like we said, everyone has their opinion and rightly so.
Elvis changed the face of popular music, and his acheivements are there and still stand the test of time. |

I like it when appropriate songs to the deceased are played at their funerals, it has more meaning |

Elvis was a great artist and had a wide range of songs I,ve not really got a favourite because they all stand out.. he took the world of music by the scruff of the neck shook it and it more or less changed over night.. |

"He was an amazing artist who basically wrote the next generations of music x
But he didn't write them though did he. Great songwriters working on his behalf, I'll give you that "
Even if he didn't write them, who cares, he sang them spot on and got the message across especially the songs for Pricilla! How many X Factor winners can do that? |

What's your favourite Elvis track ?
Mine is American Trilogy or Satisfaction 
Bloody hell!
A little less conversation.
Oh god yes it's brilliant "
I was never a big fan. But he had a number of gems and that one always has me humming or singing along and tapping my feet. |

Yes I appreciate that lots of people love Elvis, just as lots of people love Justin Bieber. Neither of which "wrote the next generations music" though. They just sang it |

These people made an impact and left an impact on the music industry. Not all singers can write their own songs but not can they sing well ! |

He's 82 years of age and still alive and kicking. He lives in Guam for half of the year and his real name is Elijah Herbert Daniel. The other names and family and the rest is fake. It was a marketing scheme to sell more records. By law, he loses all rights and royalties if he reveals himself as "Elvis" |

He had his own particular style which popularised his era and he had a list of hits.
I wasn't a fan, preferring other artistes who could pen their own songs. I really only recall him in later years, being the "expert" at "murdering" other people's songs and singing more bum notes than correct ones. American Trilogy is one example. |

The king
I've got a few favourites tbh: child in the ghetto; always on my mind; blue moon of Kentucky. But suspicious minds in a masterpiece and this is probably one if the greatest live performances ever

"My first TV memory was his funeral procession "
I think mine would probably be the Moon landing although I'm reliably informed I was propped on the settee wearing a hand knitted England bobble hat and scarf watching the 1966 world cup final... |

"Any of his gospel songs,no one sang gospel like Elvis"
Agree with this. His gospel albums are far and above my favourite Elvis albums. 'How Great Thou Art' being my favourite of the genre, which has incredible versions of 'Where Could I Go But To The Lord', 'Stand By Me' and the title track.
My favourite non-gospel album is 'Elvis Now'. There's not a bad song on it and they're all pitch perfect. |

In the Ghetto but let's face it, they are all wonderful.
I remember the night he died because I was listening to Tony Prince on Radio Luxembourg and he was in absolute bits, seriously crying hard. I felt for him.
Yeah, I'm old |
