Lisa Marie Quotes

I have a lot of memories, but I don't go into capitalizing on that. Something's got to be my own. I'm not doing the record to sit here and broadcast my memories of my father. Lisa Marie Presley

I have a tendency to kick it up. I like to rattle the cage. Lisa Marie Presley

2) Elvis Presley Forever

Elvis Presley wasn't just loved by his fans. He wasn't just The King on stage; he was also a man with a family. His life was a classic rags-to-riches story; but as money accumulated, it seemed that he and his family were yet again on a sudden spiraling descent, only this time it was more on the emotional than financial side.

Good or bad, there was no denying that Elvis was and still is among the most famous men who ever lived. And the only way to understand his ways is to take a peak at the various chapters of his family life.

Early Family Life

Elvis' family came from a long line of German, French, Scottish and Cherokee descent. Vernon Presley, his father, was a sharecropper and a truck driver who hailed from Fulton, Mississippi. Gladys Love Smith, his mother, was a sewing machine operator who came from Pontotoc County, in Mississippi. Elvis' family started when his parents married on June 17, 1933.

Elvis Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi. He had a twin named Jesse Garon who was stillborn. Having only one child, Elvis' family lived just a little over the poverty line. The family attended a church called Assembly of God located in East Tupelo.

Although Elvis' family wasn't considered dirt poor, it is said that they lost their home when they weren't able to pay the money they borrowed to build it. The eviction came at a time when his father was serving a prison sentence due to forgery of a check for only $8. The sentence was for eight months; even so, this incident left a big mark on the Elvis' family.

Elvis' Family At Graceland

At the age of 13, Elvis' family moved to Memphis. It was in the latter part of the 1940's but life here wasn't much different from when they were in Mississippi. They lived in a public housing unit.

Only when Elvis' career surged, which wouldn't happen for yet another nine years, did the family start to live comfortably. At age 22, Elvis had acquired enough money to buy a mansion from a doctor for $100,000.

Married Life

In May 1967, Elvis married Priscilla Ann Beaulieu in Las Vegas, Nevada. They had a daughter, Lisa Marie, who was born in 1968. The couple separated on February of 1972 and they shared custody of little Lisa. Eventually in 1973, Elvis and Priscilla were granted a divorce.

4) Favourite Elvis song Lyrics for
Green, Green Grass Of Home

LYRIC:

This new feature of our ezine is for karaoke superstars & the fans that just like to sing-along with the King.

The old home town looks the same,
As I step down from the train,
And there to meet me is my mama and papa
Down the road I look and there runs Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home

Yes, they'll all be there to meet me,
All creatures smiling sweetly
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home

The old house is still standing,
Though the paint is cracked and dry
And there's an old oak tree that I used to play on
Down the lane I'll walk with my sweet Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home

Then I awake and look around me
Cold gray walls surround me
And I realize that I was only dreamin'
There's a guard and there's a sad old padre
Arm and arm we'll walk at daybreak
Again I'll touch the green, green grass of home

Yes, they'll all be there to meet me
In the shadow of that old oak tree
As they lay me beneath the green, green grass of home

5) About Elvis Presley & other Legends:

Elvis Karate

From the very first lesson with Hank Sanaski during his tour of duty in Germany, Elvis took to the lessons quite easily; karate became the ultimate physical activity in his life. Elvis worked at achieving the ninth degree of the black belt, which he earned right before he died.

Over the years of his karate lessons, along the way improving he enjoyed the impact and controlled movements with the full on concentration involved. There were extra benefits for Elvis knowing these moves, and using them in his on stage performances his karate lessons became a helpful tool on stage with utilizing his energy and breath control while singing as he continued to use his karate movements in his live performance.

One form of karate style Elvis studied was, Tae Kwon Do, which was an aggressive form of street fighting, involving the use of feet and legs for more aggressive kicking. Elvis then got into the Kem Po style, which is a wider spread form of the art.

Elvis worked out everyday until the down hill slide of his life was having control leading up to the end of his life.

Karate was of great interest to Elvis, being a subject he was always willing to drop whatever he was doing to share in discussions on the subject. Apart from karate, Elvis also loved other forms of athletics, boxing and football were among his favorites, and he admired the strength, speed stamina and sportsmanship.
