Some Music for the Day

[cbtreks]

Can't let what would've been Elvis Presley's 75th birthday go by without some music to celebrate with.

"Love Me Tender" - always sweet

(Cutting for length.)



"Don't" - one of my favorites

"Lawdy Miss Clawdy" - another favorite of mine - and doesn't he look good here! (But it looks like the synchronization is off.)

How can you not love "Burning Love"? Too much fun! This is from his Live from Hawaii concert in 1973, which was broadcast around the world by satellite. I remember watching it a my grampa's across-the-road neighbor's house in Rochester, Michigan. I was 10. (And not an Elvis fan at that time. Glad now to be able to say I saw it, though!)

"American Trilogy" - again from the Hawaii special.

Here's a duet with daughter Lisa Marie (a la Natalie and Nat King Cole) - "Don't Cry Daddy"

And I always like Elvis singing Gospel - this is one I hadn't heard before tonight, not a slow Gospel song like I'm used to hearing Elvis Presley - "By and By"

I know that's a lot of video - go grab yourself a fried peanut butter and banana sandwich and enjoy the music!
