“I wasn’t just a fan, I was his brother. He said I was good and I said he was good; we never argued about that. Elvis was a hard worker, dedicated, and God loved him. Last time I saw him was at Graceland. We sang Old Blind Barnabus together, a gospel song. I love him and hope to see him in heaven. There’ll never be another like that soul brother."
James Brown
I love this from the lovely Goldie...

“Elvis had an influence on everybody with his musical approach. He broke the ice for all of us.”
Al Green.
Time Magazine, May 15, 1956
"Without preamble, the three-piece band cuts loose. In the spotlight, the lanky singer flails furious rhythms on his guitar, every now and then breaking a string. In a pivoting stance, his hips swing sensuously from side to side and his entire body takes on a frantic quiver, as if he had swallowed a jackhammer."
What a wonderful jackhammer :D :hug: :wub:
You are welcome, dearest Chanty :hug: :wub:
Bruce Springsteen:
"Elvis' music has taken away so many people's loneliness and
given so many people a reason to live." (Bruce hits his heart).
"When I first heard Elvis' voice, I just knew that I wasn't going to
work for anybody, and nobody was going to be my boss. He is the deity
supreme of rock and roll religion as it exists in today's form.
Hearing him for the first time was like busting out of jail.---I thank
God for Elvis Presley."
Bob Dylan
"They like my boy."
Mrs Gladys Presley
"One of the very special aspects of Elvis Presley's character was his
generosity of spirit. He expressed it with benefit concerts and
charitable donations that were well known by the public. But most of
what he did for others was done quietly, without publicity. My
father never once forgot what it was like to want, to need, to do
without. He spent most of his life bringing happiness to others,
endlessly giving to those around him. It is one of the things that I
admire most about him."
Lisa Marie Presley, Chairperson, The Elvis Presley Charitable Foundation
"It was like he came along and whispered some dream in everybody's
ear, and somehow we all dreamed it."
Bruce Springsteen
"Elvis was the reason I picked up the guitar."
Paul Simon
