"Trying To Get To You" (from the '68 special) :yahoo:

I just wanted to remember Elvis on what would have been his 75th birthday. It's so fantastic that his legacy lives on and will continue to do so as long as music is relevant in people's lives. I only ever saw "Elvis by the Presleys" as an edited documentary a while back (which I think was only on for an hour and a half) but BBC4 have been showing it since Tuesday, in 4 one hour segments at around 11pm...the final part's on tonight. I've seen many Elvis documentaries and films about him but I really think this is one of the best as it really shows Elvis as the man as well as his music, (although the performance footage is fantastic). The reason I like this documentary is that it's the people who were directly involved with Elvis..his wife, daughter, in-laws, cousin and close friend. It wasn't one of those documentaries where you here..."A friend of a friend of a friend said........" I'll just take this moment to say hi to Carole and Lesley..not been Buzzjack for a while! There's lot's of great Elvis on tonight so I hope everyone enjoys! Oh yes, "Elvis 75" is provisionally sitting in the Top 15 as of todays chart update for Sunday!!!! :dance:

Thanks for the link Carole. Today I'm going for 'She's Not You'...Again. Not sure what my fascination with 1962 is!!!! I was only minus 7 at the time!!! :rolleyes:

I love this song too. Thanks for posting. Today I'm going to go for happy times of 1962 with Rock-a-Hula-Baby :dance:

Elvis will be around forever thanks to his great music and fantastic peformances! :cheer:

Thanks Lesley :)

Hi peeps, I won't get on tomorrow as it's Sunday and no internet access but I'll be remembering Elvis and playing CD's throughout the day, Today I've been watching 'Unchained Melody' from the 1977 concert. It always reduces me to tears as, although his health was failing, his vocals and passion were 100% and I love that smile he gives to the camera. Maybe you could put the Youtube link as I'm hopeless at that! So for today and for tomorrow I'm going for Unchained Melody. :wub:

Today I'm going for 'Way Down' as it's getting towards that sad time of the year again. :(

Hello Carole and Lesley, soz I've been way for ages. :( I'll be really predictable and go for 'She's Not You' today. :rolleyes:

'Follow That Dream' :yahoo: It always inspires me!!!

It's a great track and certainly doesn't get the recognition it deserves.

Little darlin' :yahoo:

Hi Carole and Lesley. Nice to be able to pop in and out. I really need to get my own PC!! Lol I'm goin' for "Easy Come, Easy Go" today.....I'm in a funky mood!!!! :dance:

Hi Peeps, Not been on for a while. Today I'm gonna go for "Summer Kisses, Winter Tears" It always makes me melt! :wub:

Ah, a belated Happy Birthday Carole. Hope you had a great day! :cheer: I'm going for 'Today, Tomorrow and Forever' :wub:

The Chart-run for 'Falling Down': 10-25-48 <<<(Might scrape 1 more week in the Top 75) An improvement on 'I'm Outta Time': 12-46-(83)

Thanks Carole. I had a fab birthday and I realise that turning 40 didn't hurt as much as I thought. :rolleyes: Today I'm going for 'Summer Kisses, Winter Tears' :wub:

I'm still getting over the shock!! Fantastic to make the Top Ten. :o Noel and the boys did a great live performance on Comic Relief's Top Of The Pops.

Memories :wub:

Can I put 2 fave Elvis songs today? Just watched Jackiej61too's (Youtube) compilation of 'She's Not You' I think I've said it before but this was the song that got me into Elvis back in 1987! :)

Follow That Dream :yahoo:

Clean Up Your Own Backyard :dance:

Yep 'Rule The World', I agree. The promotion has been almost non-existent! As I've said before, I love the track but feel, when it comes to chart position, it's gonna struggle big time. :cry:

Burning Love :dance:

Hee hee, Only caught it last night on a re-run (I taped it)...She was fantastic!! :heart:
