4) Favourite Elvis song Lyrics for
Crying In The Chapel

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

LYRICS:

You saw me crying in the chapel.
The tears I shed were tears of joy
I know the meaning of contentment
Now I am happy with the Lord

Just a plain and simple chapel
Where humble people go to pray
I pray the Lord that I'll grow stronger
As I live from day to day

I've searched and I've searched
But I couldn't find
No way on earth
To gain peace of mind

Now I'm happy in the chapel
Where people are of one accord
We gather in the chapel
Just to sing and praise the Lord

Ev'ry sinner looks for something
That will put his heart at ease
There is only one true answer
He must get down on his knees

Meet your neighbor in the chapel
Join with him in tears of joy
You'll know the meaning of contentment
Then you'll be happy with the Lord

You'll search and you'll search
But you'll never find
No way on earth
To gain peace of mind

Take your troubles to the chapel
Get down on your knees and pray
Your burdens will be lighter
And you'll surely find the way

5) Elvis Presley Forever:

Elvis & Beale Street Clothes Store

Lansky Brothers Beale Street Store
In the days before fame Elvis would often window shop at the Lansky Brothers clothes store on Beale Street in Memphis. This is the store Elvis would buy his wardrobe from in the beginning of his fame.

Elvis liked what he saw in the store. What attracted him most were the different styles on display. Bernard Lansky, the owner of the store went to the outside of the window where Elvis stood admiring the fashion on display, Bernard greeted Elvis and invited him into the store to look around.

Elvis would make comment on the style of goods on display, saying to Bernard Lansky "I like all of this. It's fantastic. I don't have any money now, but when I get rich, I'll buy you out."

Bernard Lansky often seen Elvis walk up and down Beale street admiring his shop window, when Elvis was working at the theatre just around the corner from the Lansky Brothers clothes store, every Friday Elvis would buy a shirt from the store. In those days Elvis wore his hair all combed back in a ducktail, playing his guitar and working for the Sun Recording Company.

Presley had a contract, he was off to New York to appear on Ed Sullivan...Tommy Dorsey, Jimmy Dorsey television show. He needed new clothes which he would get from the Lansky Brothers clothes store, Elvis explained he had no money to pay for the new outfit. Bernard Lansky made arrangements to give Elvis an account, taking care of him in this way, Elvis paid for his new clothes and remained a regular customer at the Lansky Brothers Beale street clothes store.

After the television shows he was on the Louisiana Hayride and before he knew it he was getting gigs all over the country, everyone wanted to dress like Elvis. Once people discovered where Elvis got his clothes from, everybody would go to the Lansky Brothers clothes store and buy the same clothes Elvis wore.

Bernard Lansky sold Elvis a black pair of pants with pink stitching with out the back pockets, with flair at the bottom of them, Barnard made Elvis a gold lame' jacket. That jacket was shown in the Hard Rock Cafe' in Vegas.

Bernard Lansky asked for no payment for the gold lame' jacket, Bernard’s clothes business was being advertised with the clothes Elvis wore, people would go to buy a gold lame' jacket of their own.

Elvis continued to buy from Lansky Brothers clothes store until the end of his life. The Lansky Brothers used to ship a lot of stuff out to Graceland. Bernard would always have Elvis in mind on the market day trips. Elvis liked to wear long coats with fur collars and leather coats.

In 1970, Bernard Lansky made Elvis eight long coats for him, eight different kinds. He mainly liked the leather coats and fur coats. Bernard also made a couple of hats for him.

Bernard knew what Elvis liked and wanted. Elvis wanted something different, he wanted to be different. Clothes were made to suit his style. Mr Bernard Lansky now sells clothes worldwide through his website. He has four stores in Memphis at the Peabody Hotel. The Lansky Brothers clothes store has been on Beale Street for fifty years which is still going strong today.

Mr. Lansky last saw Elvis at Graceland not long before he died. When Elvis spoke to Bernard he always called him Mr. Lansky. Right from the time they first met up till he died, Elvis never called Bernard Lansky by his christen name. Elvis was raised a gentleman and would address people as Mr. or Sir.

Some humour to put a smile on your face!

Quotes to Brighten Your Day

Some people have a gift for using language to lighten our loads and brighten our days. Mark Twain had it; George Burns had it. Over the years, I’ve collected thousands of quotes and here are a few that I count on to make me smile.

“Don’t be humble. You’re not that great.” --- Golda Meir

“Few things are harder to put up with than the annoyance of a good example.” --- Mark Twain

“I envy people who drink. At least they know what to blame everything on.” --- Oscar Levant

“The secret to staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age.” --- Lucille Ball
