I am a big fan of Elvis. Great singer, very tragic towards the end. I visited Gracelands a few years back and seeing the amount of people at his grave side in tears was really upsetting

not a big fan to be honest.

I remember growing up watching his films on tv in the school holidays.

some great songs, some shite songs..

wouldnt say i was a fan but guess he had a great fan base. perhaps if i was young when he was becoming popular i might have understood the hype. Different generation i guess

I think in his younger days he was one of the most Devine handsome creatures around.

When I was a kiddie, not so long ago

He was an old fashioned bore, but now it's plainly obvious how good he was, especially when judged by today's music; There was a recent thread about Gary (I'm gunna make you a star) Barlow, - I rest my case, your honour!!!!

Elvis had a specific era at which he was at his peak and, personally, I believe that era was 1954 to 1964. After that, the music became more commercialised, the films became more cheesier.

By the '70s, with the advent of wing-collar shirts and flared trousers, his fashion soon became the height of bad taste - mainly because the flared trousered mob in the 70s who thought it fashionable to be an "Elvis fan". You just have to look at groups like Showaddywaddy, Mud, and all the other plastic RNR groups from that time to see where his influence was twisted.

I agree, except I think that his decent period ended in 1956 after his first CBS album

He had a great, natural voice, but was very lucky with his songwriters Lieber and Stoller. Not so lucky with his film script-writers though. I'm still impressed by the way he put his emotions into other peoples' songs, which made him a spectacular performer.
