My favorite 50s!Elvis photos, part 88 of ∞; A Boy and His Piano

there’s truly nothing more ‘big daddy’ than elvis in the sundial suit😩

those lil chubby cheeks, pouty lips, fluffy hair and the lil bit of chest peaking through?!?!?

The littlest things about him just make me giggle. Him just randomly singing, “I Want You, I Need You, I Love You.”

"There are so many places the production could move to. I had heard after we discussed this that there's definitely conversations going on right now, but it doesn't mean anything, but maybe someone out there is going to try and swing on their vine and save the day."

Keep making noise, it's being heard. Whether the 'conversations' are happening is really accurate or not, the point is that it's out there and more and more people are aware of this situation and we are making it so that it can't be ignored. We just have to keep doing what we're doing and hopefully it will pay off.

Listen/Watch Tommy's whole interview about saving the show with Elvis Duran on Z100's morning show here.

mentioning black velvet, and talking about paul simon's graceland and personal jesus and i have nothing recently, to walking in memphis, to freddie writing crazy little thing called love to miley writing week without you to florence writing morning elvis, then factoring in the number of artists who were simply inspired by him, from lennon to dylan to the stones to hendrix to james brown to elton to bowie to mick fleetwood to cher to springsteen to madonna to beyoncé to lana to harry, to dear elvis, to the generation discovering his voice's power now, to the young women creating because of him, to the 12 year old boy who told austin he was learning guitar and it changed his life...well, look at this list of quotes alone, or the songs mentioned in this thread. and this barely touches the surface of any of it, it really is so tremendous, and almost difficult to take in, just how much elvis influenced and shaped and touches and is infused all over the music that followed him. to the point where there is music that simply would not exist without him. to the point where certain artists might not have been lit aflame by music like they were, or might not have become the musicians they became, without him existing. you can't even fully calculate the scope of that reach. fractals of him glimmer everywhere. the soul of him shines in music that may not even consciously be created in his footsteps because that thread is woven so indelibly. some artist you love created music because they, or someone they were touched by, loved him first. he still is the glitter in the air. his voice is still on the wind. his heart is still something people can't help falling in love with. whose light lasts like that with such infinite sparks? he wondered if anyone would remember him? he's inextricable. music as a source of love keeps playing on.

"I think I'm in love with you," he whispers the words out in a rush as he struggles to remember to breathe. He's said he loves her before and she's told him she loves him but if there's one thing Elvis and Elaine have taught Jack with remarkable clarity it's that it's one thing to love someone but another entirely to be in love with someone. His eyes focus on her startled face that quickly seems to be shuttering right before his eyes. "You- Victoria- You don't have to say it back. I- I'm- I just- I'm in love with you." "Were you drinking?" The question slips from her lips like she means it as a joke but it's not. "Have you been drinking?"

don't you want to sleep with someone normal? ♫

nightmares have rendered me unable to sleep once again so i've been dancing in my room to Elvis music pretending K is dancing w/ me for the past 45 minutes. I think it'd be his way of trying to make me feel better. he isn't very experienced with comforting others but he hears me gasp awake, hears me crying. he knows the drill by now. he immediately gets up. takes my hands and pulls me out of bed. asks me if i want to talk about it, and if i don't, he turns on some music and swirls us around. he mimics elvis' voice while singing to the songs, knowing it'll make me laugh. when i finally do, he's smiling, saying very gently "there you are, sweetheart... there's my girl"

late to the party as per but finally giving this one a go - AND pestering some music favs with a tag <33 @cordiallyfuturedwight @banghwa @thvinyl @aprylynn @pauls-mccharmly @monismochi @thatredwine @huhfeatjhope 💜 and anyone else who fancies a go

Elvis Presley, "Let Me Be There" (LIVE, 1976)

Source (FULL ALBUM): Elvis Presley Concert CD (Youtube channel)

Audio from Bootleg album "A New Kind Of Rhythm!", released in 2007 by Madison label. This CD contains full soundboard recording from an Elvis concert recorded live at the Riverfront Coliseum on March 21, 1976 (evening concert at 8:30 pm), Cincinnati, Ohio.

PICTURES: Elvis concert Riverfront Coliseum on March 21, 1976 (evening concert, 8:30pm).

FUN FACT: Elvis performed twice that day at the Riverfront Coliseum. For the afternoon concert (2:30pm), EP was wearing the "Blue Egyptian Bird" suit, but at given moment the rear end of that suit teared up due to his movement onstage (no surprise it happened right after Elvis performed "Polk Salad Annie"). He briefly went offstage and changed into the "Rainfall" suit, in which the show moved along. There's another bootleg CD from this concert, with the title "Rippin' It In Cincinnati" (released in 2018 by Straight Arrow label), a clear reference to that one incident onstage. For the evening concert (8:30pm) Elvis wore the "Rainfall" suit again.

After changing his outfit (afternoon concert), picture above shows Elvis showing the rip to his audience. Riverfront Coliseum on March 21, 1976. There's footage of that moment too. You can watch it, here [Dailymotion]. In spite what happened, the Blue Egyptian Bird suit was fixed and Elvis wore it again in many occasions after that one incident.

FULL CONCERT [Riverfront Coliseum on March 21, 1976 — Evening concert at 8:30 pm]. If you'd like to know what EP said about the ripping suit incident (yes, he mentioned it on the evening concert), you can listen to it on this soundboard recording (begins at 29:06). EP mentioned it briefly. Take your time to appreciate the full concert, seriously. This concert is AMAZING! "Steamroller Blues" (at 15:53)? Uhh! ❤️‍🔥

I’d let him use his karate moves on me

I’m rewatching some of the movies made about Elvis and I completely forgot about the one that Linda Thompson made in 1981 called “Elvis and the Beauty Queen”

but anyways- could y’all imagine laying in bed with Elvis like this, I need it so badly 😭

But my feelings for you were just something I never knew. ‘Til I saw the light.. In your eyes.

In your eyes..
