Muttonchop sideburns were no longer stylish.

Still aren't, which is exactly why I have them. Pisses people off.

Dr, thanks for posting this....i kinda forgot how well Elvis could sing

Elvis was an exceptional singer, what he lacked in range he made up with coloratura and feeling.

If he was still alive he'd be dead by now....

John Lennon sang in coloratura just like Elvis. In fact I can hear The King seamlessly take over for John in this song.

I wonder if the record executives didn't knowingly give him the drugs that did him in. Elvis was destroying the Elvis image as he grew older. Unlike Sinatra who maintained a level of class until his death, Elvis was a fat drugged out has-been who would forget the words to his own hits. Death preserved his image before he could create a new one.
