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.
