One Sided Love Affair would have been a very obscure choice... Mind you it wasn't above Elvis to pull something obscure out of the hat. I truly like Charlie, if ever there was a person who protected and TCB'ed it was Charlie
I suppose set lists aren't above speculation, even from those closest to Elvis
Well, my goodness. I was just agreeing with you .
I just provided a link to an iinterview.
So, they haven't been telling it for 31 years.
"I have learned never to ridicule any man's opinion, however strange it may seem."
I agree. Elvis probably wouldn't have even remembered it.
Charlie was a nice man, but he was often full of it.

You are correct on both points.No way on this earth Elvis would have chosen to include that song.
Charlie was indeed a very nice man.This doesnt however doesnt validate everything he said.
Very interesting that everyone thinks they know what Elvis would think and do--except for someone that pretty much lived with him 24/7.

Hmm. The same someone who said Elvis had bone cancer ...Very interesting that everyone thinks they know what Elvis would think and do--except for someone that pretty much lived with him 24/7.

As he was told. I don't see any connection.

If you apply that logic,you must believe everything else told by the MM as well?Including the Stanley's and the West's.Charlie may have been drunk also when he got that idea about that song as he was prone to consume way to much alcohol.Any of the more knowledgable fans know where Elvis was musically during 77.It's a complete joke to think Elvis would perform it live during a concert.It's funny to even talk about it.Have all of you even heard that song?Let's try and avoid going to fantasy land when discussing what Elvis might have done and be more realistic.Very interesting that everyone thinks they know what Elvis would think and do--except for someone that pretty much lived with him 24/7.
That's quite a fantasy you have IMO.
There's quite a difference in a fan and a friend that knew what he did and what he thought and possibly what he might or not do.
Besides singing along side of him . Very presumptious of any fan, I'd think

Like I said you must apply that logic all the way around to those around Elvis.I guess everything told about him must be true since those guys actually knew him.That sounds funny coming from you.Unless however you apply that logic only when the info is to your liking,but Im sure that's not the case.One of my wife's best friends had been a close friend of Charlie's since his days at Graceland with Elvis.She even relocated to Pigeon Forge and got a job there at a theatre after Charlie started working down there.They were tight.I can assure you that there is a lot you could learn about good ole Charlie that might surprise you.To say Charlie was prone to fabricate is being kind.That's quite a fantasy you have IMO.

Nothing surprises me about anyone. I've seen if things don't fit someones
opinions, then that particular one gets squashed.
Think what you like.Nothing to do with this topic.

Dont forget he had to hold the mike in front of Elvis' mouth for a couple of tunes .He also had to hit the high notes for Elvis many times when Elvis was unable to function properley on stage.Thank god he was there to substitute for Elvis when needed.I believe in his mind he was as important as Elvis on that stage.All you had to do was ask him.
Whatever you think, Jak. Whatever you think.
If you can't win in a discussion, put everyone down.
Especially Elvis.
Maybe it would be better to stay on topic. And NOT personal!!
"I have learned never to ridicule any man's opinion, however strange it may seem."
Charlie's credibilty does relate to what was being discussed.Where did I put Elvis down.Charlie is the guy who said he carried Elvis on stage not me.Im sure you knew that already.I've already won the discussion so what's my prize?Come to think of it,have I ever lost one?Whatever you think, Jak. Whatever you think.

I'm going to leave this topic as I'm aware of the rules.
Perhaps you're not. Please read them!

my your one busy person already in it with another. why cant we just accept each others opinions. I mean seriously what would Elvis think !
"How do I get placed in situations like this? Ah hell, I guess it's all part of showbusiness "~ Elvis in his limo on his way to perform in Omaha, NE on June 19th 1977
I guess you didn't read the rules either .my your one busy person already in it with another. why cant we just accept each others opinions. I mean seriously what would Elvis think !

I have been away for some time.I might be a little rusty on the rules.However I admit I have a big mouth and tend to speak my mind and then see how the dust settles.I apoligize if I offended your sensibilities.I can only hope that a few here have missed my candor.
