Sounds pretty cool to me! Although I'll probably be in the minority on this one. Diane is a pretty damned accompished pianist and understands melody. Combined with collaboration on the lyrics (Elvis' strong suit!), this might be a lot better that some cynics might expect. Diana's technique combined ...

Don't forget. . .90% of Elvis' videos were made pre-MTV so they are not high-tech! Many of the older ones (particularly for the Armed Forces material) seem to be made on the road, on the cheap, and on the quick! But they sure are fun and Elvis sure looks more goofy than menacing!!!

I'm pretty much the current "Northelvis" - consumed with adult stuff like matters of the heart, family and work. I don't have much patience left for the vast majority of cool youth-oriented pop music or culture, rarely look at the television (except to wonder what drove me to pay $1000+ fo...

Speaking of Why Can't a Man. . .that one may have been a bit "botched". The recording and performance seems a bit dry for a song that could have used a bit more soulfull approach. I think this one could have used a slightly more "live in the studio" feel. ATUB is one of my favori...

Sounds as if, whith the exception of the GCW tracks and a few others, we don't have a lot to talk about here, which says a lot for Elvis' arrangement and production choices. I definitely agree with the points made about Everyday I Write the Book - that song is pure air without the more down & di...

Which song did Elvis botch the worst?

Okay, I don't think this one has been asked before. . . Which song has Elvis written that he has done the worst job of recording? This can be a great song that you feel was ruined by the arrangement or production. An obvious example for me is Playboy to a Man on MLAR. Not a bad song but so badly sun...

Cbartol, Candy. . .sorry! There is no Imposters tour! It was just a bad idea to stir up a reaction and see if anyone was watching the board today. There are supposed to be US tour dates after the 1st of the year, but I believe they are to be with Steve only to support NORTH. Haven't heard any detail...

Hey, where is everybody today? I've only seen a couple of posts since last night. Maybe we should take a roll call just to make sure the board is still functioning for everybody. . .?!!
