Lisa Marie Presley talks about Elvis and his chart history http://www.elvis.com.au/presley/lisa_talks...t_history.shtml

Me too! I love the song :wub:

I think that you're right there, Brian. I doubt he will get permission but will be interesting if he is one of the artists on a Duets album if it is released.

Some sad news from Memphis :( Bernard Lansky Dies Aged 85 Bernard Lansky, the Memphis retailer who helped a young Elvis Presley establish his signature clothing style of pegged pants, two-toned shoes and other flashy duds in the 1950s, has died. He was 85. Julie Lansky, the clothier's granddaughter, said he died Thursday at his Memphis home. Bernard Lansky and his brother Guy started a retail business in Memphis in 1946, with help from a $125 loan from their father, Samuel. After World War II, the store started selling Army surplus goods on Beale Street. When the supply dried up, they opened a high-fashion men's store, where Bernard Lansky established his reputation as a natural salesman and storyteller. Lansky Bros. ended up supplying Presley with the pink and black shirts and other outfits. "It's a statement to say that he dressed one of the most influential entertainers of all time," said Julie Lansky, "He knew that for any entertainer, they had to look different." Even though his style of dress changed over the years — including sparkling jumpsuits — Presley shopped at Lansky Bros. the rest of his life. Lansky even picked out the white suit and blue tie that Presley wore when he was buried. "I put his first suit on him and his last suit on him," Lansky was fond of saying. By the early 1950s, Lansky's shop was known as a place where a man with a taste for flash could find the styles Lansky referred to as "real sharp." At the time, Beale Street was a hot spot for blues, rhythm and blues and jazz, and drew a colorful parade of musicians, gamblers and hustlers from the Mississippi Delta. Presley began hanging around Beale Street as a teenager and picked up quickly on its music. Lansky first met the future King of Rock 'n' Roll when Presley was just a teenager working as an usher at a nearby theatre and liked to window shop at Lansky's. After Elvis' success the Lansky brothers often opened the store at night so Presley could avoid drawing crowds and took outfits to Graceland for him to check out. Lansky dressed him for the "Louisiana Hayride" and his first TV spots on the Tommy Dorsey and Ed Sullivan shows.

He was working in his shop and was a really friendly gentleman. I just had to buy something from his shop so I now proudly own a beautiful pair of drop earrings and every time I wear them, I think back to that day in Memphis :D

Thanks for the update Brian.

That is why Elvis has so many fans, especially amongst musicians. He had a very special talent and ability to reach out and touch us with that incredible voice :wub:

Very nice :dance: Thank you Rockabilly

It sure is :cheer:

Bruce Springsteen Names Elvis as Inspiration: :cheer: Bruce Springsteen credits Elvis for being his musical inspiration in a new biography featured in The New York Times. The article looks at the ups and down of the pop icon and names him a worthy heir to Elvis Presley. "We witness the rental of a first guitar after Mr. Springsteen saw Elvis on 'The Ed Sullivan Show.'" Springsteen has often credited Elvis as the beginning of a new language in popular culture. In a speech at the Southwest Music Festival in Austin, Texas, Springsteen said his "genesis moment of inspiration" was in 1956 when he watched Elvis perform on "The Ed Sullivan Show." Bruce Springsteen's black leather jacket is featured at the "ICON: The Influence of Elvis Presley" Exhibit at Graceland. Recently Springsteen also talked of his own life and experiences with music from Elvis Presley to soul to punk and country music, he said, "Whatever the genre, it's all about how you're putting what you do together. There is no right way, no pure way of doing it, there's just doing it." Paraphrasing famed rock critic Lester Bang's Presley obituary, "Where Were You When Elvis Died?", Springsteen said, "Elvis was probably the last thing we were all going to agree on… We would never see eye to eye again." Back on April 30, 1976 Bruce Springsteen hopped the fence at Graceland hoping to get to meet his idol. At 3am in the morning 26-year-old Springsteen and E-Street Band's Steve Van Zandt visited Graceland. When he saw lights blazing inside the mansion, Springsteen climbed over the wall and ran to the front door. But just as he was about to ring the doorbell, he was intercepted by security. Explaining who he was, Springsteen begged to be let inside but instead the unimpressed guards told him that Presley was out of town (which was true) and escorted him promptly to the sidewalk. Springsteen proudly bears an Elvis fan club button on his successful 'Born to Run' album cover.
