Elvis Presley won't be repeated by anyone not ever

[@11patience]

I lived in Wichita Falls and could sometimes pick up the Hayride on AM radio when conditions were just right. The announcer said they would perform in Wichita Falls on tour in Texas. I was lucky enough to see that show. We went backstage and talked with Elvis and got his autograph. I have been a fan since.

Awesome to hear this, especially after seeing the Louisiana Hayride scene in the new Elvis movie ✨ Oh how I wish time machines existed 😩

[@d.herger]

I'm 60 years old and I know all musical styles. I've been listening to Elvis since I was 10 years old. I come from Switzerland (Lucerne). I appreciate any kind of good music. I also know all the songs by Johnny Cash and June Carter (Great). However, Elvis remains the greatest musician and entertainer of all time. He implied all the power of his soul in all his songs. One could almost say: he gave away his whole heart to his listeners. So, in that way, this is definitely unique. Denis Herger

[@robinbittel9420]

He gave it all to us until he simply had no more to give. God bless him. There will never ever be another.

My Dad was stationed at Barksdale AFB and tinkered around at the Hayride a few times with the radio broadcast. Years later he interviewed Elvis at a radio station in south Arkansas

[@BrendaBooher-hw4mf]

Oh, the early days of Elvis was before I even born but his music is timeless. Such great vocals that just come out like flowing water in a river. Gladys said in the 1956 interview in Tupelo that Let's Play House and Don't Be Cruel were her favorite songs that Elvis sang. Just listen to the crowd right before he sings It's Alright Momma. His beautiful untrained voice sent people into frenzies. Still the King of rock and roll after all of these decades.

It’s crazy how this is one of Elvis earliest performances and every song he’s singing is his interpretation of songs written and sung by Black artists but white America gave him the label of the King of Rock and Roll 🎸 instead of the Black forefathers and women who actually created it! But still Elvis was a great artist

[@CooManTunes]

Elvis' first number one hit was written by two white guys. Go find the deep end of a pool somewhere.

[@IamthatIam1974]

@@CooManTunes yeah I know the truth hurt’s! 😂 Elvis was a great artist and one of my favorites but the fact still remains! If it wasn’t for the Black! Forefathers who created the sound that later became known as rock and roll 🎸 you wouldn’t have this great music to listen to period! Now go play in traffic

[@CooManTunes]

@@IamthatIam1974 Yes. The truth is hurting you. I can tell. I'll give you some more truth. Without white classical composers, black people wouldn't even know that knocking on wood creates a sound. ;) Remember. When you find a pool, just sink to the bottom and inhale as strongly as possible. You're familiar with inhaling, so this shouldn't be difficult for you.

[@IamthatIam1974]

@CooManTunes classical music 😂 don’t make me laugh Black folks were inventing music in the Mother land (Africa) when you and Elvis ancestors were still living in caves!
