I hope more young people are listening to Elvis Presley today. He really had a singing voice and knew how he wanted to sing a song. The many songs he recorded and performed, it was as if he sang them almost perfect. I hope it will not come a day that you rarely hear his songs. Of course, it is hard to pick one song of his a favorite, but "Love Letters" is my favorite, can play it over and over (as if he sang it almost perfect). Elvis is missed greatly but what he left in music!

One of Elvis' best recordings. He came along at a time when vocals actually mattered and where talent could actually shine. I feel really fortunate to have seen him in a live performance in Vegas. My mother had two framed pictures on our wall -- just two. One was of JFK and the other was Elvis. My mom loved music and had a fairly vast LP collection -- Sinatra (of course), Al Jolson, Perry Como, etc., and toward her later years she bought every Elvis album available. My sister was also a huge fan, so I could hear Elvis in monograph or stereo depending on which room I visited. It was a trip. Our small family would make outings to the local theater to watch each new Elvis movie. I was inundated with Elvis, but I never fully appreciated the guy until I saw him performing live at the Hilton International (when it still existed). The performance and on-stage presence blew me away. Today, I'll usually listen to the classics -- Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, Mahler, Mozart and so on, but I'll occasionally visit some of the old pop classics from the 60's and this would include Elvis, naturally. I'm impressed with how many tunes, like "Love Letters" stand up well over the course of time.

A comment on that cover said it was Dylan's favorite, and it actually is the way the song should be song. It's beautiful, heartbreaking lyrics. One guy commented he thought Dylan wrote it when his love, Suzie, a former playboy model, left him. Yet on an old black and white video here he sings it like an upbeat rock and rock ballad. Elvis nailed it.
