ELVIS IN BLACK IN AMERICA?
Surely, one may revolt! What is Elvis doing in Black in America? Well for certain we know Elvis did a lot of copying off of Black People who sang rock and roll. A lot of it was revolted as being called "N.......Music!' Come on you've heard stories of Elvis! So this weekend here in Memphis, Tennessee --where I live, is a celebration! Elvis will remembered in it's 30 years of the Annual Candle Light Visual. People are here in Memphis from all over the world! The Celebration is Saturday, August 16, 2008. Where else but Graceland! And , yes there are still some Elvis fans who are black! You might be one? I admit, I love watching Elvis in movies. Can you think of a few? I know you can, but openly you might not admit it....Umm.. "Baby, let me be your little teddy bear!" ....Bring two candles one for you and one for me...Smiles.

WOW! . . . an Elvis fan . . . and a black one at that . . . . LOL! Hey, don't feel like the Lone Ranger in here. I, too . . . at one point in my life . . . was a HUGE Elvis fan, somewhere between the ages of 8 and 12. I even did an Elvis impersonation. Then one day, my Mom sat me down and told me all the rumours about Elvis's misdeeds to black people. And nothing to the contrary could change her mind. Its was my Mom so I believed her and disassociated myself from all things Elvis. Later on in life I came across various contradictory information. Since I never knew the man or knew anybody that knew him I couldn't say which side was true. So within myself I resolved that yes, I did like some of the Elvis music and movies that wouldn't change. As far as the man himself, only he and God knows the truth.
