Elvis Made My Heart Go Pitter Pat

Elvis was the guy who made my heart go pitter pat. I wanted him to dump Ann Margaret and her cat. With his dark blue black hair and eyes that saw you true. I wanted Elvis to discover me, and love me through and through. Of course I was old enough to realize it was not going to be. But still I had my dreams, and my swinging fantasy. I watched his movies and felt he was singing straight to me. He was such a marvelous man, a terrific celebrity. I saw his army photos and I swooned, because it is what you do. He was pretty in black and white, and color, through and through. Elvis was good at everything- singing, dancing -the king if you ask me. His voice still makes my heart go pitter pat you see.

He was Mr. Generosity also. I admired that.

I was frequently mistaken for Elvis every time I went to Frankfurt despite NEVER saying, "Keepen-zie the change!" My late wife was money-paying fan, attending Las Vegas shows and visiting Graceland. I didn't see how he could take drugs as I thought if anyone stuck a needle in him, he would pop, but few remember those days! Aloha! Rico

I do remember those days; the screaming was weird. I never quite "got that part of it".

It was sad what happened to him. Too bad he could not have looked 24 forever, but how many of us can?
