American Trilogy, How Great Thou Art, If I Can Dream, Lonely Man...
When I was a child, ladies and gentlemen, I was a dreamer. I read comic books, and I was the hero of the comic book. I saw movies, and I was the hero in the movie. So every dream I ever dreamed has come true a hundred times...I learned very early in life that: ‘Without a song, the day would never end; without a song, a man ain’t got a friend; without a song, the road would never bend - without a song.' So I keep singing a song. Goodnight. Thank you.”
-From his acceptance speech for the 1970 Ten Outstanding Young Men of the Nation Award. Given at a ceremony on January 16, 1971.
IF I CAN DREAM
“It was the finest music of his life. If ever there was music that bleeds, this was it.”
Greil Marcus
From his book, Mystery Train, remembering the 1968 Comeback TV Special.
FAVORITE ELVIS BOOKS
Elvis & Gladys, Elvis Up Close...
“The image is one thing and the human being is another...It's very hard to live up to an image, put it that way.” Elvis
“I ain't no saint, but I have tried never to do anything that would hurt my family or offend God.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I figure all any kid needs is hope and the feeling he or she belongs. If I could do or say anything that would give some kid that feeling, I would believe I contributed something.” Elvis
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Elvis as a man was a reverberation of every man / woman at a soul-level, for he was as a little child - without guile, possessing a great sense of compassion, adventure, loving, and humor. He was HUMAN, he erred, yet he was noble, and through it all his integrity remained chiseled in the foundation stone of his heart."
