What are your favorite Elvis songs and memories?

[AARPLynne]

The king of rock ’n’ roll died suddenly Aug. 16, 1977. As we mark the 40th anniversary of his death, AARP takes a look back at this icon. We remember his magical voice and hip swiveling like it was yesterday.

In the Ghetto.   I remember watching every movie he had on tv not once but over and over.

I was eight and too young to appreciate Elvis when he first started his rise to national and world wide fame, but by the time I was 12 or 14 I was a confirmed fan.  I had the hair and some similar facial features and played both up big.  My biggest regret is that I was stationed at Nellis AFB in Las Vegas NV in 1969 and was there when Elvis came out of retirement.  I was newly married and just an E-3 making about $150 per month we barely had enough to pay rent and survive.  Plus the fact that it was a dinner show with alchaol being served and niether one of us was of age - bottom line - we didn't go.  I will always regret not trying.  I was fond of the King's early years and just about anything prior to the Lounge Lizzard cape & jumpsuit days.  The movies seemed to all be the same plot with background changes, but I watched them all.  Difficult to pick a single favorite, but I can narrow it down to a few:  Teddy Bear, Are you Lonsome Tonight, It's Now or Never, Lovin' You and Little Sister.  Interestingly my absolute least favorite Elvis song is Love Me Tender.  It's not that I do not like it, its just that I like every other song he ever did - - better.

Seeing him perform in person three times I will never forget. That voice that face that smile There will never be another. I loved so many of his songs I can't choose just a few. He will always be number One.
