I wasn't a huge fan, although I remember I really liked 'Suspicious Minds.' And I saw him twice in concert in the '70s (cause of a couple of girls that wanted to see him). And I've been to Graceland twice (cause out-of-town guests wanted to tour the place). Anyway, I ended up enjoying the concerts and the visits to his home. He definitely knew how to put on a great show! One of the times I was at Graceland, there was an exhibition of portraits of him done by artists from around the world. It was fascinating. <br /><br />Thank you for bringing back some special memories! Hope you have a great weekend, Gloria.<br /><br />Warmest regards,<br />BillBillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15467769804679511645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8700019929330607466.post-32447610276748963472010-01-08T21:43:43.983-08:002010-01-08T21:43:43.983-08:00Well I think most would agree you would be hard pr...Well I think most would agree you would be hard pressed to find a sexier more hansome more talented guy then elvis, I always loved everything he sang, my husband and I have always been such fans, thanks for the memories...PhyllisPhyllis @Around the Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06518514759461027787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8700019929330607466.post-15842607224628114292010-01-08T21:09:12.359-08:002010-01-08T21:09:12.359-08:00I almost hate to tell you that I wasn't a big ...I almost hate to tell you that I wasn't a big fan. I certainly was very aware of his music, enjoyed a few movies and was truly shocked the day he died. I remember watching his special from Hawaii (I think) when I was in college. I was more into the British groups...Beatles, Herman's Hermits and I think I have come to appreciate his talent more since he died than I did while he was alive.

I was so young when he made his first film and I worked at the Loma Theatre in Point Loma, CA. I kept running and peeking in at the movie when I was supposed to be watching the candy counter. <br /><br />I will never forget his very first appearance on the Ed Sullivan show and I remember saying.."this guy is going to be GREAT!" and he was. No flash in the pan. Nope.<br /><br />Thanks for the memories, Gloria. I'm sending you my love and a ton of hugs for that!!<br />MonaWsprsweetly Of Cottageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17990765326246470929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8700019929330607466.post-20938455560485853612010-01-08T19:58:21.440-08:002010-01-08T19:58:21.440-08:00Loved his music.

I do miss the days when the whole place was full of orchards. My husband and I long to retire to Pismo Beach where old time CA still exists. We love the beach. Where in the Sierra's are you? My husband works for Grass Valley and we travel up there once in awhile. My sister is about 20 mins. from Placerville so we are there quite a bit as well. We would miss the ocean too much if we lived up there though.<br /><br />I, too, remember the day Elvis died. I was in college and working. I heard it on the radio. I wasn't much of an Elvis fan but my college roommate was just devastated when she got home from class and I told her what happened.<br /><br />I've added you to my followers list too. I'll be back to visit!<br />RobinRobinfromCAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15991684488709559707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8700019929330607466.post-88624336028965985412010-01-08T19:23:17.083-08:002010-01-08T19:23:17.083-08:00Hey Gloria, I thought of you today as soon as I sa...Hey Gloria, I thought of you today as soon as I saw it was Elvis' birthday on the news. Did you get that Elfis Christmas Card? <br /><br />I won't be going to Sac. this month either. Kids start school Monday so I need to be home to get them back on track and ready to go. Transitions like that are hard on them.

The first time I ever saw him in a movie was when I was 8 years old and one of my older brothers brought me to see "Girl Happy". I fell in love that day:-) Ever since then I've collected everything to do with him and still have the full collection today. You'd have fun going through my 6 big plastic totes! lol <br /><br />I was devastated when I got a call from my dad saying that Elvis had died. I turned on the tv and there it was on the news...I cried as if I had lost a close family member. I have every book, magazine and newspaper that came out after his death, I just wanted to keep his memory alive!!!! <br /><br />No one will ever be able to replace Elvis, no matter how much they try. xoxoCarole Buranthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497329055251626140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8700019929330607466.post-18243795398338842412010-01-08T14:56:44.407-08:002010-01-08T14:56:44.407-08:00Gloria, what a great post.
