Beschreibung | Elvis Aaron Presley (8. Januar 1935 - 16. August 1977), oder einfach Elvis, war ein amerikanischer Sänger und Schauspieler. Er wird als "King of Rock and Roll" bezeichnet und gilt als eine der bedeutendsten kulturellen Persönlichkeiten des 20. Jahrhunderts. Seine energiegeladenen Interpretationen von Songs und sein sexuell provokanter Vortragsstil, kombiniert mit einer einzigartig starken Mischung von Einflüssen über die Grenzen der Hautfarbe hinweg, während einer Ära des Wandels in den Beziehungen zwischen den Ethnien, führten ihn sowohl zu großem Erfolg als auch zu anfänglichen Kontroversen. |
When I get married, it'll be no secret.
Those people in New York are not gonna change me none.
Those movies sure got me into a rut.
Later on they send me to Hollywood. To make movies. It was all new to me. I was only 21 years old.
I hope I didn't bore you too much with my life story.
It's human nature to gripe, but I'm going ahead and doing the best I can.
Until we meet again, may God bless you as he has blessed me.
Too much TV hurts movies.
More than anything else, I want the folks back at home to think right of me.
The next thing I knew, I was out of the service and making movies again. My first picture was called, GI Blues. I thought I was still in the army.
I like to sing ballads the way Eddie Fisher does and the way Perry Como does. But the way I'm singing now is what makes the money.
A live concert to me is exciting because of all the electricity that is generated in the crowd and on stage. It's my favorite part of the business, live concerts.
I sure lost my musical direction in Hollywood. My songs were the same conveyer belt mass production, just like most of my movies were.
Whatever I will become will be what God has chosen for me.
Just because I managed to do a little something, I don't want anyone back home to think I got the big head.
