yep, was 35 yrs ago that The King of Rock 'n' Roll, Elvis Presley supposedly left us, here are a couple of tribute links that i believe are he greatest songs....
"if i can dream", written and recorded for the "68 comeback special" show, Elvis loved this track so much that he actually spent all night in the studio in total darkness singing this one over and over again till sunrise....it sums up everything he truly believed, also, some lyrics in this one were taken from speeches that Rev.Martin Luther King made before his terrible assassination!
it was this song that made Elvis want to get out of those stupid movie contracts, after singing stupid songs for the best part of a decade he decided he wanted to get his teeth back into performing again...much to the displeasure of Tom Parker.
probably the best vocal performance of his career IMO,and certainly one of the most underrated/forgotten tracks of his career also!
