Elvis My Impression

This is my impression of Elvis Presley I was vey lucky to be 16 in 1956 when Rock and roll came into existence the greatest music of all time and for all time, this is what it all met to me. Elvis was the big bang to creating music like the big bang was to creating the universe Before Elvis their was no rock and roll, no music, no dancing His look was unique His movements on stage were unique His voice was the greatest like nothing ever heard before His songs started the greatest music craze in the history of music rock and roll He looked dangerous He looked like he was having the best time of his life on stage Elvis didn’t give a damm who wrote his songs black or white He was the first entertainer who did it all before anyone else did anything Both men and women loved him Elvis was a mans man Elvis was a ladies man Elvis was a gentleman Elvis was a Christian Elvis was a momma’s boy Elvis was respectful of his fans Elvis was just one man who changed music forever in America in 1956 When Elvis sings you have to smile, to tap your feet, clap your hands, move your body, and come alive It’s 2013, 35 years since Elvis died He is still the major Icon of the music world Elvis is still the most worshiped singer and entertainer in history Thousands and thousands of fans visit his home each and every year Elvis didn’t smoke or drink Elvis became an actor but could have become an accomplished actor with the right people and advice around him Coronel Parker was both good for Elvis and bad for Elvis Liberace taught Elvis how to dress with flash Elvis had his own way of moving on stage when he sang no one has ever duplicated his signature moves God know how many tried Elvis served the country he loved when he was drafted into the army no complaining Elvis asked fro no special treatment while in the army Elvis loved the woman and the woman loved him back Elvis was the greatest entertainer of all time Elvis met his tragic and to soon end to his life he was only 42 Elvis was hooked on prescription pills and that’s what killed him No one could tell Elvis what to do many tried all failed The music died on the day Elvis died It was so sad that Elvis felt so all alone so much of his life that is what fame does to you Elvis was the King No one else will ever occupy the Kings throne Elvis loved to sing gospel songs no other entertainer of rock and roll ever did No entertainers star shines brighter or ever will You can ask any great entertainer and there are hundreds and will all agree Elvis was the greatest entertainer of all time No entertainer in the history of music ever had a first year success like Elvis had I saw Elvis in Las Vegas in 1972 when the music started and you knew that Elvis was soon to be coming on stage the excitement and the anticipation in the room was over whelming and beyond compare everyone in the room was mesmerized This is my remembrance of Elvis Presley Dennis Davis March 15, 2013
