Today the King was born,
Born into our lives
Bringing his music to us all.
Elvis was certainly King
And the day he left the building
Was so sad,
But even now nearly fifty years
Since he left the building
We still glory in his music,
A sound that is so wonderful
That makes him still with us
Amongst all the others,
The others that I listen to
Who have left this world.
So to Elvis I say to you
Have a Happy Birthday .

Good write Gold. A good actor in films too. It's a pity I never leave the building but carry on singing there! lol. But - everyone else has left the building. Doh!
Someone at a church collected Elvis memorabilia, and looked a bit like him, if we can imagine what Elvis may have looked like in his late 60's.
Thank you Orchi.
For a boy that got a C in music from a teacher that told him he couldn't sing to where he ended in music history a story of don't let people tell you what you are capable of. A true humanitarian as well and just a good person sadly left to die of neglect overmedicated. A good write Gold
