July 20, 200717 yr 1977 was a bad year as we lost both Marc Bolan and Elvis within weeks of each other. I'll be watching the Marc Bolan programme. Sorry to highjack this thread, but ITV will also be screening an hour-long documentary to mark the 30th anniversary of Elvis' death. "Young Elvis In Colour" will feature the singer's early film screen-tests together with footage of him in concert. There will also be interviews with his childhood friends and musicians. As part of the BBC Radio 2 ‘60s Season, three Elvis shows are planned for August: Elvis And Me - Saturday 11 August 2007 Elvis - 68 Comeback - Tuesday 14 August 2007 Don't Start Me talking About Elvis - Wednesday 15 August 2007
