Elvis Presley

What a gift. What a talent. How lucky are those of us who were alive when Elvis Presley walked the Earth? I can plough through the superlatives in an effort to sum up Elvis Presley's talent, but there is only one word that even begins to grasp how very extraordinary this immense man was and that word is phenomenon. Elvis Presley is a genuine phenomenon. Many deeply talented individuals ooze charisma, but Elvis literally dripped with charisma. He was saturated in the stuff! If you were lucky enough to be near him and he flicked a finger you may have been blessed to have a drop splash on you - mind you, if Elvis flicked a finger it probably rained charisma and you'd have gotten drenched! ... If whatever Elvis had was a drink, that drink would be one seriously potent cocktail - so potent in fact it would probably poison mere mortal men. Whatever Elvis's power was it would ruin most people. We couldn't handle it. Too strong. Too addictive. And, of course, that incredibly potent power would ultimately destroy us all. It destroyed even Elvis in the end.

Notice, I haven't even mentioned his songs yet... His voice was awesome, his style simply stunning. He was also too good-looking for his own good... Yes, I'm suffering from extreme jealousy! Wouldn't we all want to be Elvis? I think it's only fair that we all get to be Elvis if only for one day... one hour or even a minute... For one guy to be blessed with so much simply doesn't seem fair... And yet he blew it! He couldn't take the pressure of being Elvis... Not even with 42 years practice... But at least he had 42 years of being a living God... That's a big question... Would you swop 80 odd years as a mere mortal for 42 years as Elvis? Hold on I've got to think about that... Haven't we all? We can't resist. We would all love to have what he had... Sorry, couldn't resist that rant.

I loved the guy. So many people I know loved him. He was genuinely loved by so many. It wasn't just about his music. Like I said, he had a seriously great voice, but it was always more than that. What though....?

Who is your music legend? Who do you think is the greatest musician? I want this website tyo reflect your opinion as well as mine. There is such a variety of music styles, and beats... Who am I to tell you who's the best. All I can do is put together a website about musical legends or rock legends and set it free to grow on its own. If you tell me you feel someone should be included here, I will include them. The rock bands, musicians and singers who are your favourites are equally entitled to feature on this website.All I ask is that the pop bands, musicians and singers you recommend do have international acclaim. This is a website for genuine stars and truly original musical artists. In the future I would like to start a top ten list of all time great songs and I welcome your suggestions... My favourite all time song is 'Vincent' by Don McLean. What is your favourite song? What is your all time top ten? Let's post them up on this website so others can check out your favs... This music website can grow as big as you all want it to... If you are a band and feel this website can help promote you, send me music and pics and I'll do a promo page...
