It's going to be awefully tough to get an opinion from Frank Sinatra (as the link says: From Bono and Frank Sinatra)

Elvis will always be the king of rock and roll. Elvis said when fans called him the king he would correct them that Jesus is the one and only King.... May he be in heaven singing for the LORD.

Joe, I too, am a Beatles fan and I wouldn't go so far as to say that without Elvis there would be no Beatles. The Beatles had several influences. Elvis was only one and with or without him, the dynamic duo of John and Paul would have left their mark in rock and roll history.

I grew up in the "Elvis era". Words cannot describe the effect he had on people. You had to be there to appreciate the out pouring of emotian from his fans and critics alike. Elvis truly polarized the country. I was lucky enough to attend his last public apperance in Indianapolis In. That memory will forever be with me.

ELVIS WAS TRULY AN AMERICAN ORIGINAL, BEATLES BEING FROM ENGLAND CAN`T BE EMBRACED IN THE SAME WAY.ELVIS PRESLEY`S REIN HAS LASTED FOR GENERATION`S AND STILL ALL THESE YEARS AFTER HIS PASSING IS, TALKED ABOUT AND SELLING LIKE NO OTHER ARTIST WHO IS NO LONGER WITH US. THE BEATLES WINDOW WAS TRULY VERY SHORT FROM THE TIME THEY HIT THE US 1964-69,AS INDIVIDUAL`S THEY WENT ON TO DO MANY FINE THING`S BUT AS THE BEATLES, IT REALLY WAS SHORT LIVED.

Elvis was the greatest of the great. Too bad he did'nt have enough sense to listen to his fans and not his so called doctor. He might still be around today. I still miss him, thanks for the records, tapes and CD's I can still listen to him, and I do.

I had the great fortune to meet Elvis twice in the Vickers gas station in Memphis. I spent countless hours at his gate. Elvis was as great personally as he was talented. He was a regular guy and treated you with respect, always taking the time, if possible, to shake hands or wave. No performer is even close to Elvis, as he simply had it ALL.

Yes, you did make a mistake in his "age" (he's dead so this "age is in theory only). But it isn't anything to get All Shook Up about.

Elvis would have been 74, not 73. AOL can really be a joke sometimes.

Even babies loved Elvis. By this I mean two and three year old children. Elvis was one month older than me so I followed his rise and fall from the beginning to the end and loved him always. B. J. Mitchell

what an amazing and incredible voice he had, how talented he was and how handsome! I love Elvis even though I am much younger person and was not there during his generation. Anyone who has any good taste in music, any kind of music, understands how incrediblly talented and unique Elvis was. He was and always will be the King of rock 'n' roll! Besides being a great singer and performer, he was also a wonderfully good, kind and generous person, with a great sense of humor. Just amazing all around, no matter how you look at him!
