I remember old Elvis when he forgot to remember to forget.
The last time I saw Elvis was when I played my second New Year's Eve show for him in 1970.
I'm sure that Elvis was happy for me. I think he was the kind of guy that enjoyed other people's success, especially if he had something to do with it.
I go back to, like, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holliday, Elvis. I listen to everything.
With great artists like Elvis, sometimes the songs weren't the greatest thing about him. When I tried to perform some of the songs, I noticed some of the tunes weren't all that brilliant, but it was the performance that sold them.
I'm a fan of all music, and probably my first - well, not the very first music I listened to, but back in the late fifties, when I first started hearing rock & roll, it was definitely tinged with doo wop and also Elvis and all those great songs.
I was obsessed with Elvis Presley when I was little.
When I first came into this world, Elvis was already fat.
Don't Cry Daddy is a pretty sad song. He got to the end of it and it was just real quiet and Elvis says, I'm gonna cut that someday for my daddy. And, by God, he did. He lived up to his word.
My mom listened to the Beatles and Elvis, a lot of different types of music.
There's this Bruno Mars guy. I met him in Hawaii when was doing Elvis imitations at the age of about five or six years old. There's a lot of old school in him. He's got a depth that I just love.
Are you alone?" So that's what this call was about. For some reason, the question made my throat tighten. "No," I said, "Elvis is here. Would you like to talk to him?
A lost of people recognize me and maybe will ask for an autograph, but it's nothing like if Elvis would've done something like that, 'cause he's so popular, or maybe The Beatles 'cause they stirred up a lot of action.
Elvis was a giant and influenced everyone in the business.
You never heard anybody ask 'Elvis who?'
There have been many accolades uttered about Elvis' talent and performances through the years, all of which I agree with wholeheartedly. I shall miss him dearly as a friend. He was a warm, considerate and generous man.
Elvis was the first person in music that I really identified with.
If there hadn't been an Elvis, there wouldn't have been the Beatles.
Well, when I was a kid I used to hide behind the curtains at home at Christmas and I used to try and be Elvis. There was a certain ambience between the curtains and the French windows, there was a certain sound there for a ten year old. That was all the ambience I got at ten years old... I think! And I always wanted to be a certain, a bit similar to that. But I didn't want to sell pizza.
She's a good girl, crazy about Elvis, loves horses, and her boyfriend, too.
My only contact with the outside world was an RCA Victrola, and Elvis would sing, and then I'd dream about expensive cars.
I'm just glad to be feeling better. I really thought I'd be seeing Elvis soon.
Elvis was a symbol of the country's vitality, rebelliousness, and good humor.
There was a chance for me to write one song for the section where Elvis sat in his black leather outfit and sang the old hits. At eight oclock the next morning I had written Memories.
Elvis is my religion. But for him, I'd be selling encyclopedias right now.
