I was driving truck when he passed away, going from Florida to Pennsylvania, my radio filled with E.A.Presley, climbing the mountains shifting gears , listening to one of the greatest singers that had ever lived, I will never forget that trip, my oldest son was born just days before Elvis passed. RIP Mr Presley. Thank you for all the great music.
He sure was full of good looks, and great voice. Sadly he was only lent to us for a short while. 😢 I knew I would never see him live, as I live in U.K. so I followed our own singers here. Then Gordon Hendricks won top Elvis award in Graceland 2017. I went to see Gordon's tribute act here, and now I am living the Elvis dream right here. God bless ya both !!
I didnt realy listen to Elvis Presley I was to young but when he died in 1977 I started to listen record s my dad had of him and im glad I did he is a great singer and entertainer I am now 51 and will be lisening to Elvis now till the day I die
So you were 10 years old when he died. Have you grown to love his music. I would say he had so many great songs. And yes he is incomparable because he is and always will be the King.
I have been a huge Elvis Fan since 1973.I say he could of sang the phone book and made all of them # 1 hits as well . We will never see another like him. When God made Elvis -he was only showing off and he only made just the one. RIP ELVIS THE KING 🙏❤️🤙
He played the background music while I grew up. Wouldn't have it any other way. I've always heard "Don't cry because it's over; smile because it happened."
Anyone else notice the little 'one eyebrow' raise at the very start when the guitar plays the intro? One thing I've noticed about Elvis is that he seems to feel every instruments every note, even when he stands still. I love that about him. The music was in him to his soul.
@@MarcosBryant-lj8zi She didn't answer your question but I will... Everything he did in music looked so effortless. That's what I admire most about him. His natural talent was immeasurable, without limit and he made all of it look so damn easy.
I knew it the day i heard him for the first time..... my mother let me hear it the day i get born 30-11-1970 and till now a day we are all great fan of Elvis Presley...... and will be till the end of time 👑💝👑💝👑💝👑
Great Elvis wonderful man. He can sing allways Country, blues, rock and roll, rockbilly, gospel. He can sing today this? Only yuo king yuo are the greatest singer and entertainer over the world forever and all the time.
Probably Elvis at his best, you can tell the way he sings this song that it really means something to him deep inside. Fantastic vocal range with great warmth and sincerity. Brilliant performance
The world knows they had a great singer when 40 years after his death people are still wanting to listen to his songs and wach his films what a great entertainer he will always be missed from the past well into the future
Hiya god bless u for saying that the world had a amazing entertainer and u are a trillion% right because if only elvis Presley knew how many people world wide to this very day are still wanting to listen to the king of rock n roll singing songs like welcome to my world god bless u elvis Presley amen. 👍💯✌
Elvis is the greatest, I would like to add if your a true Elvis fan you realize that Elvis gave a 100 % for His fans. I have seen footage of Elvis saying so and Elvis remembering the price of a concert ticket and praying to give the fans the best show even sick with the flu. Elvis many times at Graceland would walk down to the gate and visit with the fans. One more point you only realize how talented this Man was if you dig deep into His music, Elvis was held back by His success so if you dig deep into His music such as His Gospel and the few more modern songs you will realize His talent.
Everyone talking about Elvis being the best singer but the band is amazing, too. All real instruments played by pros in time without a lot of technical help still sounding amazing. And also amazing background singers. Everything sounds so smooth.
love that smile. sings cover songs better than the original artists. don't you agree? sings with such ease. he doesn't even have to try too hard. he didn't need dancers or fire when he performed. now that is a true artist. tcb tlc xxxooo
In most cases i agree Elvis can take a great song and turn it Gold but Gordon Lightfoot's version was better. When Whitney did Dollys I will always live you in the Body Guard movie i think both artist were equal on that song but different.
I listened closeley to this version a couple of years ago and believe it is one of the finest examples of the beautiful pure tone of his voice. Really exceptional.
I listen to Elvis singing Early Morning Rain almost every morning 🌄 Thank God for videos like this so we can pretend we are there in person. My deepest regret is that I never got to see him in person when I was in my teens. ❤
I am a big Elvis fan, Elvis could make most songs by others better. Elvis does a great rendition of this one but Gordon Lightfoot does this one best. I am sure Gordon Lightfoot was very pleased of Elvis rendition.
I was weaned on soul, Motown, blues, and rock, but I was exposed to Elvis and country. Love this cover version. Duke Ellington is quoted as saying there are two kinds of music: good and bad. I like that description.
That's wonderful that you were... brought up listening to such great genres. But how about my quote... two kinds of music.... Elvis & everyone else? Sounds great too me...lol!!
Janice Lyons Hello Janice. The fact that I have Elvis' greatest hits album is tangible proof I dug his music, but I wouldn't say Elvis and everybody else because everybody else includes Motown, the Beatles, Aretha, Miles, Michael Jackson, Prince, the Stones, BB King, Hendrix, and so forth.
Hasa Ke Exactly my point!!! That's what I intended to say" meaning... " Elvis" at the very top & then everyone else. Just my opinion... I'm not trying to offend anyone!!
I enjoy more closing my eyes and imagine myself on the 60s south east of USA I am from Peru and grow hearing Elvis music there I was 5 years old and now I am 50 years old and living in Atlanta. for me no singer is or was better than Elvis
I watch and listen to the king everyday. TX. Back in the 60s when it was a school night and Elvis came on we got to stay up. My mom seen the king 3 times in the 50s. TX. She's 80 taking her to Graceland in May.
One of the greatest covers of a Gordon Lightfoot song ever. Shows how many artists truly admired and loved the craft of one of the past century's greatest singers and songwriters. Any artist who performed Lightfoot did it out of respect and admiration for his artistry. Gordon and Elvis you are both greatly missed by everyone who has been touched by your music. I would bet the great James Burton is playing guitar on this too.
Omg so amazing and so awesome love to hear how incredible the King 🤴 ❤ takes this song and makes it his own Cant help falling in love is my favorite but this is a real close second Elvis after all.thes years you still rule you still rock you are the King 🤴 and the King of my heart ❤ can't wait to get to Heaven and meet you 💙
I was 16 when Elvis passed away. Still remember the wave of sadness. We then began learning lyrics of many of his songs. We listened to many 8 tracks cassette of Elvis non stop. The best. The King
I was 17; my friends and I were at the mall and someone told us. It was end of summer, time to start back to school for my senior year. He was so young! Just 42 years old. Peace.
I have to tell this story...I am 49 now and when I was around 4 years old he was in Shreveport, La and My precious Aunt Patty took care of him at the Sheridan Hotel. He thanked her for being good to him and asked her no limit to money if there was anything she needed, she told him that her niece was his biggest fan, Me.....He told her to get me there and he made them hold the plane and everything so my mamma could try and get me there to meet Elvis...We did not make it....What matters to me is that he cared...I am the only woman who ever stood Elvis up....I love you Elvis....You are such a blessing
My Uncle, and my wife’s cousin both knew Elvis while he was in the Military. Elvis was waiting in line to use the phone while my Uncle was talking to his girlfriend. Elvis got on the phone and talked to her. Wife’s cousin was invited to a private party at his home in Germany. Elvis told him to stop into see him if he was in Memphis. He stopped a few years later at Graceland, and was invited to hang out for the day. Elvis Presley was a good and decent man.
Agree 100%. Of course it was the best version everything he done he would take a song shape the song and make it his own that was his god-given talent.ELVISLIVES
God this song reminds me of my brother Mike. We were so very close and his death just about killed me, literally even. That was July 18,1989 but to me it’s always like it was yesterday. Miss him so....
I sure do miss the 70s and 80s. The music🎺today is not even the same. Sometimes I wish I could find a time machine and go back in time. Life was much easier and everyone enjoyed life! Is this your favorite song?
@@reginamorrison4446 Actually, I'm a huge music enthusiast. I discover new track everyday, but my favorite rarely change, what I love a certain music fo, is it's beat, sounding and nostalgic memories they reminds me of. Happy listening! 🎧 All of me by John Legend. Where are you from if you don't mind me asking? I'm from Apeldoorn, Netherlands
I've loved Elvis for decades. Met him at "The Louisiana Hayride" in '54/55, I grew up with him. Attended 15+ concerts in my day. He got so familiar with me being at the Hayride every Saturday until '56, the last time he did the show, Dec. '56, that a few of his shows in TX. he would say his #1 Fan was always there and say my name and he'd say stand up sweetheart. I received several scarves and was kissed double kisses with those Luscious lips of his many, many times. We became social friends for years, then I enrolled at LSU in Baton Rouge. Many times he would drive to see me and stay in my apartment. I'll leave my private story there. I will LOVE HIM forevermore. Rest in Eternal Pease my Love now that Lisa Marie is there with you forever. You'll live in my heart forever. 💋💋💜💔💔🖤🙏✝🙏❤❤❤
There will never ever be another like Elvis!! I feel real bad for those that don’t know this man and how amazing he truly was! He was pure talent! A sad personal life but a gift to music!
This was not a Soundcheck. This was an improvised recording session to cut the bonus that were edited into the US Special. There are several takes of this one available on DVD.
@@hollies65 He also didn't wear jumpsuits for soundcheck or even had a soundcheck. The only known soundcheck is a day before the rehearsal concert for the Aloha, that he actually did a line check. This video is not from a soundcheck, as mentioned by Georgia, right after the Aloha concert was over, the crowd left the arena, and Elvis came back to record a few songs that would be used on the TV Special for the US broadcast. This was after the show, around 3am. But anyways, it's not the definitive version as he also recorded this one in the studio in 1971.
I was a young child when I could tell my mother loved Elvis. I grew up loving his music and performances too just like Mom. In those days, I had to be asleep by 9pm, but I clearly remember her sobbing from my bedroom as she watched the nightly news-10pm- and heard of his passing. Im pushing 57 y/o now, but can tell you that despite his 'issues', there will never ever be another King. Now he rests with his mother and God Speed to Lisa Marie.
Awe, beautiful memories you have. I also sobbed when Elvis died. I was 18. It felt like I'd lost a family member. I would lie on the carpet infront of my record player, play his Graceland LP and sob! ❤🇿🇦🎶
I listen to this song most mornings, especially on the early morning rainy days. What a great song! I love Elvis. He is forever in my heart! March 18, 2024
Elvis was one cool cat....looking good here & soo laid back...sang this great song with ease...& whoever said that Elvis didn't look as good in the 70's or couldn't sing as good...then this just proves it...TCB..TLC
I realize we all have different taste. But to give ELVIS a thumbs down??? He sung what was considered Rock in his day. And then mellowed out. And then to me became better and better. Christmas,Gospel and even them crazy movie songs. The man could sing anything. All because of his Great Voice. Just my opinion!
I was driving truck when he passed away, going from Florida to Pennsylvania, my radio filled with E.A.Presley, climbing the mountains shifting gears , listening to one of the greatest singers that had ever lived, I will never forget that trip, my oldest son was born just days before Elvis passed. RIP Mr Presley. Thank you for all the great music.
I was working in Pennsylvania when he passed, everyone around me was filled with disbelief!
Like your comment, but have to only disagree with you slightly, not one....it was the best ever !
@@DannySoloe-gb7fu Yes Sir , I stand corrected, definitely The Best Ever!!!
I had been to Pennsilvania once. That was in 1998. It was unforgetable.
Great memory! Thank you.
This is a beautiful rendition of Early Morning Rain. It brought tears to my eyes. Thank you Elvis for performing this song. R.I.P. Gordon Lightfoot.
Gordon will be missed #canada #icon #toronto
Beautiful song. Elvis wow
Always think of this song when it's raining,. In the Early Morning
He sure was full of good looks, and great voice.
Sadly he was only lent to us for a short while. 😢
I knew I would never see him live, as I live in U.K. so I followed our own singers here.
Then Gordon Hendricks won top Elvis award in Graceland 2017. I went to see Gordon's tribute act here, and now I am living the Elvis dream right here.
God bless ya both !!
Bob Dylan famously said that when he hears a Gordon lightfoot song he wishes it would go on forever.
I’m a big Gordon Lightfoot and Elvis fan.
Ol’ Gord would’ve be very happy with this rendition.
RIP to both great talents.
Who else is here today to pay their respects ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Hello,how are you?
There is never going to be another Elvis. Still the best music to listen. We miss him everyday 💙🌹
There's never going to be another any of us... However, whatever IT is ELVIS has ("IT")
("REMEMBER THE KING 1 8 35")
Never ever.
No never.
He's really the only one I never get sick of hearing. Can never get enough of Elvis.
@@shyba2011 You got that right!!
I didnt realy listen to Elvis Presley I was to young but when he died in 1977 I started to listen record s my dad had of him and im glad I did he is a great singer and entertainer I am now 51 and will be lisening to Elvis now till the day I die
Me too!!! I'm 57 and was a little girl the day he died and remember the adults at the pool being so upset. He the GOAT.....Noone comes close!!!!!
So you were 10 years old when he died. Have you grown to love his music. I would say he had so many great songs. And yes he is incomparable because he is and always will be the King.
When Elvis covers you, all of your goals in life are complete. RIP King, Gordon
Elvis, or Dylan...oh, wait, covered! RIP Gordon indeed.
Not a “cover”.
@@jeffryphillipsburns what is it then? Originally written and performed by Gordon Lightfoot.
Bob Dylan was asked when he knew he had reached the big time. “When Elvis Presley sang my song” said bob.
Gordon Lightfoot was the songwriter! @@jeffryphillipsburns
Elvis did the song justice. The song was recorded by 300 other artists. Gordon passed on May 1st, 2023, but his music lives on.
A beauty tune from Gordon Lightfoot......and an awesome performance from Elvis....never gets old
This song never gets old!
Rip to the Elvis and Gordon!
Yes, I actually like Elvis's version as much if not a little more, but what talent those men had. The last of the Mohegan.
I can’t get enough of this beautiful man and l am 74 years young!
And I am 82.
Me too. I’m 72
Me too! I’m 72! Love Elvis! ❤️
Elvis was and still is the greatest singer who ever walked on this planet ❤ Proud to be an Elvis fan. Love this song 🌹❤️💯
I have been a huge Elvis Fan since 1973.I say he could of sang the phone book and made all of them # 1 hits as well . We will never see another like him. When God made Elvis -he was only showing off and he only made just the one. RIP ELVIS THE KING 🙏❤️🤙
AMEN!
Can't argue there, Elvis singing was on another level we will never see again. He can be imitated but never duplicated.
YESSS.. THANK YOU
YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT!
Elvis was the best singer who ever walked this Earth proud to call myself an Elvis fan
I was a young teenage girl when Elvis started singing , and I loved him then and still do today! Miss him so much!
I miss him too.
Me too
He played the background music while I grew up. Wouldn't have it any other way. I've always heard "Don't cry because it's over; smile because it happened."
@@mirellap.9223Me too and this was my favorite song
"Forever Faithful Elvis Presley" Fan. ", Gone - but not forgotten. His majestic voice and the music - will live forever!
Rest In Peace Gordon Lightfoot and Elvis Presley! You both are Gonna be remembered for hundreds of years!
There is nothing this man could not sing. A fan for 48 years and counting! ♥️🎶🎵🎶♥️
Me too, only am not counting anymore. Can't count that high...
Elvis could cover a great song and make it better
Me too!! And for me, a fan for 70 years‼️🎵❤️
RIP Gordon. Your songs have spanned generations.
One of my favourite songs as recorded by the King. God bless your soul sir.
One of my very faves, too. There's just something about the words, meaning, the way he sings it...
Anyone else notice the little 'one eyebrow' raise at the very start when the guitar plays the intro? One thing I've noticed about Elvis is that he seems to feel every instruments every note, even when he stands still. I love that about him. The music was in him to his soul.
Yes! Every expression and dance was so natural to him, because he was so in touch with the music!!! That why is the greatest
Such a beautiful manxxx
His musicians said he had the mosy incredible music sensibilities they saw
He also reacts when he makes mistakes, too. Like in this video.
¥es he was pure perfection 👑🌟
Such an amazing vocalist who sang in all genres of MUSIC, a CLASS act who will NEVER be forgotten! ❤️ ELVIS!
Love this man's voice....... Beautiful I'm definitely having him sing when I leave this earth 🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏
Me too
Love you Elvis Presley god bless you always alfame lights on In life can't wait to see you in heaven John burrows Durban South Africa

Hello dear,how are you?
Elvis was God's gift to us . He is Timeless
Truth
Lembranças de uma bela época de valores musicais.BRASIL.
Do you actually believe that and if you do that is truly insane.
He was just an Humble boy who made it from Tupelo Mississippi and he was and still is the greatest singer and Entertainer ever.
@@n40tom he was a one off performer
Goodness, I love this song
What do you admire most about Elvis
Compared to the entertainers of today, Elvis gets greater every day.
Very, very true!
realmente é imortal,está vivo na mente d quem curtiu esta época,dançando,enfim..só saudade
Yes sir ! That’s right !
Elvis like the wine gets better
and. better to perfection ! 🙏❤️
I wouldnt even call them entertainers.the king in his sleep would put them to bed.thank god
Thats true
This guy can sing any song, so versatile!
("REMEMBER THE KING 1-8-35 🤴")
That's what none fans don't understand he is the best, RIP E
100% correct ❤
THE ONLY OTHER PERSON THAT COULD COME ANYWHERE CLOSE TO SINGING ANY SONG AS ELVIS WAS THE GREAT CONWAY TWITTY, LORD BLESS THEM BOTH!
Rest in peace Gordon Lightfoot. He wrote "Early Morning Rain"
The greatest entertainer in history. And you know it.
George Vreeland Hill 💯

Great Elvis wonderful man. He can sing allways Country, blues, rock and roll, rockbilly, gospel. He can sing today this? Only yuo king yuo are the greatest singer and entertainer over the world forever and all the time.
Probably Elvis at his best, you can tell the way he sings this song that it really means something to him deep inside. Fantastic vocal range with great warmth and sincerity. Brilliant performance
The world knows they had a great singer when 40 years after his death people are still wanting to listen to his songs and wach his films what a great entertainer he will always be missed from the past well into the future
My grand daughter is 3 years old and knows him by the name.

Elvis is the greatest, I would like to add if your a true Elvis fan you realize that Elvis gave a 100 % for His fans.

Marie Pizzarelli How RIGHT you are. And I do agree.
In most cases i agree Elvis can take a great song and turn it Gold but Gordon Lightfoot's version was better. When Whitney did Dollys I will always live you in the Body Guard movie i think both artist were equal on that song but different.
I listened closeley to this version a couple of years ago and believe it is one of the finest examples of the beautiful pure tone of his voice. Really exceptional.
My son got me listening to this we used to listen to it all the time now that he's gone when I'm thinking about him I play especially after a few beer
Amazing!

I had this running in my mind early this morning. Elvis is awesome.

Rest in peace, Gordon Lightfoot. Such a beautiful song.

Tears rolling down my cheeks. I miss Elvis and my granny.
Great version of this song. Sure do love Elvis.
I am a big Elvis fan, Elvis could make most songs by others better. Elvis does a great rendition of this one but Gordon Lightfoot does this one best. I am sure Gordon Lightfoot was very pleased of Elvis rendition.
Did I say I love this song? He hits it perfectly! I can’t take my eyes of him. Beautiful!
I cant take my eyes off him too
Jean Tracy.....yo no puedo dejar de mirarlo ningún sol día de mi vida..❤️❤️❤️✨✨✨👑👑
I’m so thankful for the internet! I was born after his death and I can’t imagine my life without his voice

Unreal how Great this is!
There’s NO WAY anyone could bring music to any kind of stage or platform the way ELVIS brought it. R I P
Um. Very untrue. We only have one God, Elvis is not it. His talent is a result of our God's beauty.
I love every song from this concert. I love Elvis forever!😘

I was 16 when Elvis passed away.
Still remember the wave of sadness.
We then began learning lyrics of many of his songs. We listened to many 8 tracks cassette of Elvis non stop.
The best.
The King
I was 17; my friends and I were at the mall and someone told us. It was end of summer, time to start back to school for my senior year.
He was so young! Just 42 years old.
Peace.
I have to tell this story...I am 49 now and when I was around 4 years old he was in Shreveport, La and My precious Aunt Patty took care of him at the Sheridan Hotel. He thanked her for being good to him and asked her no limit to money if there was anything she needed, she told him that her niece was his biggest fan, Me.....He told her to get me there and he made them hold the plane and everything so my mamma could try and get me there to meet Elvis...We did not make it....What matters to me is that he cared...I am the only woman who ever stood Elvis up....I love you Elvis....You are such a blessing

'56, that a few of his shows in TX. he would say his #1 Fan was always there and say my name and he'd say stand up sweetheart. I received several scarves and was kissed double kisses with those Luscious lips of his many, many times. We became social friends for years, then I enrolled at LSU in Baton Rouge. Many times he would drive to see me and stay in my apartment. I'll leave my private story there. I will LOVE HIM forevermore. Rest in Eternal Pease my Love now that Lisa Marie is there with you forever. You'll live in my heart forever. 💋💋💜💔💔🖤🙏✝🙏❤❤❤
Beautiful rendition of my favorite song, so beautiful!
Hello dear,how are you?
There will never ever be another like Elvis!! I feel real bad for those that don’t know this man and how amazing he truly was! He was pure talent! A sad personal life but a gift to music!
Amazing. The definitive version of this great song is a soundcheck by Elvis. One of the most melancholy performances ever. Total greatness.
This was not a Soundcheck. This was an improvised recording session to cut the bonus that were edited into the US Special. There are several takes of this one available on DVD.
@@GeorgiaOverdrive It's a soundcheck. Elvis did not wear that stuff to recording sessions.
Nice version here but definitive? Have you listened to George Hamilton IV’s version? czcams.com/video/V3Y7EzXwYMQ/video.html
@@nottavictim5 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
@@hollies65 He also didn't wear jumpsuits for soundcheck or even had a soundcheck. The only known soundcheck is a day before the rehearsal concert for the Aloha, that he actually did a line check. This video is not from a soundcheck, as mentioned by Georgia, right after the Aloha concert was over, the crowd left the arena, and Elvis came back to record a few songs that would be used on the TV Special for the US broadcast. This was after the show, around 3am. But anyways, it's not the definitive version as he also recorded this one in the studio in 1971.
Proud to call myself a fan of the greatest singer who ever lived Elvis Presley
The king of absolute incredible charisma god bless u elvis Presley we will always luv ya heaps mate. Brent shorrock 👍
Beautiful song My Elvis
I was a young child when I could tell my mother loved Elvis. I grew up loving his music and performances too just like Mom. In those days, I had to be asleep by 9pm, but I clearly remember her sobbing from my bedroom as she watched the nightly news-10pm- and heard of his passing. Im pushing 57 y/o now, but can tell you that despite his 'issues', there will never ever be another King. Now he rests with his mother and God Speed to Lisa Marie.
Awe, beautiful memories you have. I also sobbed when Elvis died. I was 18. It felt like I'd lost a family member. I would lie on the carpet infront of my record player, play his Graceland LP and sob! ❤🇿🇦🎶
Beautiful Lightfoot song done by the King.
Love this song
Gott, fantastisch. 🙇♀🤯Verwirrend wie toll er das singt. Wenn Musik süchtig macht, dann hat er das erfunden.
Just an amazingly talented and humble man
Elvis was a gift for the eyes and the ears
@Beatriz Chavez
... and for the heart, and soul :)))
Just thinking that not only was he gorgeous his voice is like no other. What a talent!
I listen to this song most mornings, especially on the early morning rainy days. What a great song! I love Elvis. He is forever in my heart! March 18, 2024
Self Portrait, great Album!
By far the best in history and always will be
Elvis Presley is the absolute finest of the most finest singers of the 1900s from Brent shorrock the prayer warriors
the man who inherited the gospel music the african soul. the country
he is the result of cultural blending
My mom loved this song, I love it to! So lovely Elvis.
it's a blessing that we can still enjoy this wonderful man's talent.even though he's no longer with us .there will never be another Elvis Presley.RIP.
Thomas Damon amen to that
He's alive within our hearts.
Elvis was one cool cat....looking good here & soo laid back...sang this great song with ease...& whoever said that Elvis didn't look as good in the 70's or couldn't sing as good...then this just proves it...TCB..TLC
I realize we all have different taste. But to give ELVIS a thumbs down??? He sung what was considered Rock in his day. And then mellowed out. And then to me became better and better. Christmas,Gospel and even them crazy movie songs. The man could sing anything. All because of his Great Voice. Just my opinion!
Pure magic Elvis, just beautiful
What do you admire most about Elvis
The Most Beautiful Gorgeous Man Ever!! Love him So Much💕
Yeah good looking man.:)
You",re really in Love.
Happy Valentine",s Day.
Elvis always put a better twist to any song😚😚😚😚😚😚
Yeah you're right Elvis is a great singer and he will forever be missed, so tell me how long have you been an Elvis fan?
This tune fits Elvis like a glove!
Just love his songs, I always end up crying and I don’t really know why, his absolutely the best ever.
