42 years ago, good heavens, can't believe it's that long. Sadly he never came to Britain.

You'll have to visit Parkes the centre of the Elvis Universe, forget Nashville and Graceland, Parkes is where it's at.

That song was on the juke box in the transport cafe my friend & I used to go in to for breakfast, on our way to getting the horses ready for shows. Very early in the mornings. We drove the truckers mad by putting it on repeat while we were in the cafe.

Re: 42 Years ago.

I watched a couple of programmes last night on 'Sky Arts' about Elvis. A boy who loved his Mum and his music. An all-round good fellow who burnt out all too quickly. Even as a man, I'll say what a good-looking bloke he was ..and great mover. No wonder girls threw themselves at him.
