Tonight's ABC Special not getting much promotion

[King_Creole]

Hello....did you not watch the whole show?

The mentioned all that about how he single handily changed Vegas and reinvented it as it is today.

As for Elvis not haivn a hit record in 7 years....his last US #1 was in 62 and he came back to live performin in 69. You do the math.

Are you really this ignorant, or just have a hard time comprehending things in general ???

re-read my reply, nice and s-l-o-w-l-y and you may just learn sumthin' before shooting off at the mouf ...

Cilla deserves to have the last name Presley because she was married to him.

They had also been divorced for almost 4 years when Elvis passed away.

She was not his widow, get it ?

I assume not since you already have a hard time eating reality and have other issues ...

The can of worms Larry King can open....
I tried to find a legal definition of widow this is as close as I found for
it in a search. It was at a frequently asked questions site.

A woman whose husband died while he was still married to her. If you get a divorce and then your ex dies, you're still a divorcee.

When you get a divorce you are asking that the union between 2 people be put aside-null and void. Unless specified in your divorce decree you give up all rights which you have in the union. They divorced unless she had that written into her divorce decree which we all know she did not. Larry King misspoke on his show calling her his widow.
Now for Social Security in US I know a divorced woman or man can get some of that persons SS in some instances if they were married 10 years but that has to do with pension laws only.
I won't comment on this again since its off topic but I was curious myself which is why I did the search.

I found the same thing when i did a search but thought i would leave it alone since i satisfied my own curiousity. But I am glad you posted it. THANKS!

A hit record is any song that "hits" the top 40. A major hit is anything that makes the top 10, etc. Elvis had several "hits" in those 7 years. They don't all have to go to number 1.

By Lakeisha's, and ABC's, definition, Elvis only had 18 hit records out of 700 or so recorded. Not very good.

She was talkin about him havin a successful string of hits that were actually relevant to what was goin on in that time.

Elvis had chart success durin that period, but he didn't have #1 hits like The Beatles or Stones did. He was basically a soundtrack artist at that time.

That was why he left the movie scene.

I'm no historian to Elvis' career, but I know enough from readin and learnin about him, as Beyonce said she did.

I know he didn't have a US #1 between 62 and 69. That's 7 years, and that was what Vargas was referrin to.

Maybe in 2008 we will get the first-ever television airing of The Alternate Aloha for the 35th anniversary on ABC, CBS or NBC.

First television airing ???

The Alternate Aloha has been aired on Tv before.

Oh, so I guess great records like (You're The) Devil In Disguise, (#3), Bossa Nove Baby, (#8), Crying In The Chapel, (#3), If I Can Dream, (#12) are not relevant just because you think they aren't ?

These records all sold million(s) of copies. Still not relevant ?

Viva Las Vegas has the distinction of being not only a "Hit" record, but a single that never got higher than #21 on the Billboard chart, yet, still sold a million records and is now, still, considered a "Classic" ...

Let's not forget, a #1 record is not always indicitive of quality and/or merit.

That was why he left the movie scene.

Again, trying to erroneously re-write history to benefit your own misguided and ill-informed views ...

I'm no historian to Elvis' career

I've known that for a long time ...

I know he didn't have a US #1 between 62 and 69. That's 7 years,

Actually, if you count, the years, 1963 thru 1968, (the years between '62 thru '69) are 6 years, not 7 !!!
