When I was dating my ex, at her graduation (southern Baptist - no dancing) there was an Elvis impersonator. A few years later, when we got married, my mom hired an Elvis impersonator for our wedding dance! Little town - nowhere nebraska lol. Don't know where she found him - he was good! Before that, my best friend at work, a black guy always used to sing "Can't Walk Out". So I guess I've always heard him. I guess I've always liked his music, but didn't go out of my way to listen to it. My mom is absolute nuts about him.Every time I visit her, she is listening to him, it seems. She graduated 1955. he must have done something right, he struck a lot of heartstrings with a LOT of people worldwide. A LOT of people. He seemed to handle his fame and personal problems a lot better than todays ilk. AND he did have TALENT. Johnny Cash did, too. Something that is lacking these days.
