If you are going to post an article from last year you ought to at least update his age. Elvis would be 74 not 73. Aol at it's finest.

Someone needs to do their math correctly... Elvis would have been 74 on 1/8/09.
Go to Graceland...what an experience. Loved every minute being there.

Elvis became great....but only because he sounded black, and when he was found out to be white, he got to be "The King", which is unfair, and racist. If it weren't for the African-American rythum and blues geniuses he stole from, he would have been a big nuthin singing in a Baptist choir...White musicians including The Beatles all stole the black sound...

He had a gift, a golden voice, and a style that will never be matched.
He could sing any song and make it sound good, there will never be another one like him.

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!
