Is This Really The First Elvis Presley Thread?

My father never loved me. I need a hug.

FYP

You probably could have waited until just before his birthday next month to start this thread.

He's been dead for 35+ years so it's not exactly topical.

It was a Christmas song. Christmas is Tuesday.

Closet Elvis fan? You did know his birthday, January 8.

Merry Christmas.

Elvis is called the King for a reason. He's fantastic.

We already have a christmas song thread so this is kinda redundant.

A thread started to celebrate his birthday as an excuse would have been more appropriate than a silly christmas song. It would make it topical & a better way honour to a great entertainer.

Good idea for a thread just a little mis-timed is all.

LMAO at "died before reaching his potential".

GET REAL.

An outrageous, preposterous comment.

Elvis is The King, period.

Elvis was and still is the King but he died at 42. He had two major slumps in his career but always bounced back. It's reasonable to believe that had he lived a more healthy life and not died at a relatively young age he had the potential to do even more.

Ironically, after his death his estate and body of work earns millions of dollars more each year than Elvis did when alive. It's only logical he would have accomplished more had he lived but he has reached mythic status in death.

Although I understand your concerns I had recently listened to 'Blue Christmas' and thought it appropriate to add an Elvis thread. It was as simple as that.

Maybe someone will return here on January 8 and bump the thread.

Fair enough. I guess I'll bump this thread about Jan 5th.
