1) Elvis Presley Quotes:
I'm not trying to be sexy. It's just my way of expressing myself when I move around.
Elvis Presley
I'm trying to keep a level head. You have to be careful out in the world. It's so easy to get turned.
Elvis Presley
After a hard day of basic training, you could eat a rattlesnake.
Elvis Presley
Lisa Marie Quotes
I'm more prone to his '70s material, which is what I was around for and watched a lot. I listen to a lot of that stuff. It probably influenced me quite a bit. I'm more drawn to the darker, sadder songs.
Lisa Marie Presley
I'm not doing this to be a pop star. I've had plenty of money and attention. I'm doing it for credibility.
Lisa Marie Presley
2) Elvis Presley & other Legends
Elvis: That's the Way It Is is a documentary movie directed by Denis Sanders about Elvis Presley that was released on November 11, 1970. The film documents Elvis' Summer Festival in Las Vegas during August of 1970. It was his first non-dramatic film since the beginning his movie career in 1956, and the film gives us a clear view of Presley's return to live preformances after years of making movies. Although the lion's share of the footage takes place onstage at the International Hotel in Las Vegas, there are several other parts to the film:
• The opening credits sequence contains footage of Elvis' show at Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Phoenix on September 9, 1970. This was the first show of Elvis' first tour in 13 years.
• Elvis and his band are seen rehearsing for the Las Vegas engagement at MGM Studios in Culver City, California. There are scenes of Elvis running through such tunes as "I Just Can't Help Believing", "What'd I Say", "Little Sister", "Words", "That's All Right Mama", and "The Next Step Is Love." The rehearsal sequences were filmed during late July of 1970.
• Later rehearsals show Elvis in Las Vegas with his back-up vocalists The Sweet Inspirations, Millie Kirkham and The Imperials Quartet, preparing songs such as "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me" and "Bridge Over Troubled Water".
• There is also a session of rehearsals that takes place in the Showroom Internationale of the International Hotel in Las Vegas. Together, Elvis and the entire group run through songs from "Mary In the Morning" to "Polk Salad Annie". These rehearsals took place on August 6, 1970.
• Footage of an Elvis Appreciation Society convention in Luxembourg was shot on September 5, 1970. Radio Luxembourg DJs Tony Prince and Peter Aldersley are on hand to lead the festivities. A tandem bicycle owned by Elvis is raffled off to a lucky fan in the audience. Additionally, various musicians are seen performing their own versions of Elvis' songs.

4) Favourite Elvis song Lyrics for
You Gave Me A Mountain
This new feature of our ezine is for karaoke superstars & the fans that just like to sing-along with the King.
LYRICS:
Born in the heat of the desert
My mother died giving me life
Deprived of the love of a father
Blamed for the loss of his wife
You know Lord I've been in a prison
For something that I never done
It's been one hill after another
I've climbed them all one by one
But this time, Lord you gave me a mountain
A mountain you know I may never climb
It isn't just a hill any longer
You gave me a mountain this time
My woman got tired of heartaches
Tired of the grief and the strife
So tired of working for nothing
Just tired of being my wife
She took my one ray of sunshine
She took my pride and my joy
She took my reason for living
She took my small baby boy
But this time, Lord you gave me a mountain
A mountain you know I may never climb
It isn't just a hill any longer
You gave me a mountain this time

Elvis Presley Tribute
The Meditation Gardens, at Graceland is the resting place for Elvis and his parents. Thousands of Elvis Presley Fans gather at the gates of his home to honor their legend every year to pay respects to a man they adore. Elvis Presley died at the age of 42. On August 16, 1977, Elvis was announced dead by George Nichopoulus, his personal physician.
Following Elvis Presley's untimely death in 1977 US President Jimmy Carter said: “Elvis Presley's death deprives our country of a part of itself. He was unique and irreplaceable. His music and his personality, fusing the styles of white country and black rhythm and blues, permanently changed the face of American popular culture. His following was immense and he was a symbol to people the world over, of the vitality, rebelliousness, and good humor of his country.”
Or as James Brown once put it, "He taught white America to get down."
Wink Martindale, who was a close friend of Elvis, aired a nationwide tribute in his memory following the news of his death. Martindale was an up-and-coming radio DJ in Memphis at the time Presley's career began to take off in high gear.
Richard Dawson also paid tribute to Elvis on an episode of Family Feud.
Fans world wide pay tribute to Elvis in many ways that are not visible or known to the rest of the world on the anniversary of his death or occasions to remember “The King of Rock ‘N’ Roll.” Elvis Presley is loyally respected, honored and remembered in our hearts, homes, our children, Elvis is part of our family.

Some humour to put a smile on your face!
The Grandmother of all Blonde Jokes
This blonde decides one day that she is sick and tired of all these blonde jokes and how all blondes are perceived as stupid. So, she decides to show her husband that blondes really are smart.
While her husband is off at work, she decides that she is going to paint a
couple of rooms in the house. The next day, right after her husband leaves
for work, she gets down to the task at hand.
Her husband arrives home at 5:30 and smells the distinctive smell of
paint. He walks into the living room and finds his wife lying on the floor
in a pool of sweat. He notices that she is wearing a heavy parka and a leather jacket at the same time.
He goes over and asks her if she if OK. She replies yes. He asks what she
is doing and she replies that she wanted to prove to him that not all blonde
women are dumb, and she wanted to do it by painting the house.
He then asks her why she has a parka over her leather jacket. She replies
that she was reading the directions on the paint can and it said....
You'll love this....
Yep. I know you will...
