I REMEMBER ELVIS PRESLEY (Bakker / Dunhills / Ouwens) Danny Miller - 1977

Last night I turned radio on for the midnight news

Suddenly I thought I died of a broken heart

When I heard the announcer say...

"Ladies and gentlemen, the King is dead

Elvis Presley just died in a hospital in Memphis, Tennessee

Forty-Two years on this planet, but he'll be here forever"

I remember Elvis Presley

Lord, how I love to hear him sing!

So I'll adore him just forever

For he's the one and only King

I remember Elvis Presley

And he won't ever set me free

Like he was singing "Now Or Never"

He's just a golden memory

Good luck charm is not forever

Good luck songs we need 'em ever

Again, again I'll play your songs

'Cause in my mind you haven't gone

Are you lonesome tonight? Do you miss him tonight?

Tell me, dear, are you lonesome tonight?

I remember Elvis Presley

Lord, how I love to hear him sing!

So I'll adore him just forever

For he's the one and only King

I remember Elvis Presley

And he won't ever set me free

Like he was singing "Now Or Never"

He's just a golden memory

My dear friend, I won't forget you

When I need you, I can hear you

King, though I don't know where or when

There'll be a day we'll meet again

Wise man say only fools rush in

But I can't help falling in love again

Elvis Presley, I wanna thank you

For all the happiness you gave so many people

All over the world during many, many years

I remember the DJ was playing "Jailhouse rock"

When I had my first date with a beautiful girl

And since that evening you've been my friend, Elvis

I remember Elvis Presley

Lord, how I love to hear him sing!

So I'll adore him just forever

He's just a golden memory

Elvis Presley is rock 'n' roll. He sang like a dream, he was sexy enough to send girls swooning, and he exuded enough cool not to have the boys resent him. Adults worried about his rebellious nature, but they were eventually comforted by his polite, courteous manner. Yet as perfect as Presley's 1950s rock recordings are, he excelled at so much: down-home country crooning, raucous R&B belting, enraptured Gospel singing, and classic pop balladeering. Elvis wasn't a vocal chameleon: these styles seeped out of him naturally, allowing his own personality to shine through. Despite his high level of talent and achievement in his craft, it was Elvis who made rock 'n' roll the international language of pop and inspired countless kids around the world to pick up a guitar or step up to a microphone. That said, Elvis didn't have a faultless career: he starred in plenty of bad movies, sang dozens of lame songs, got fat, and wore a kitschy white suit. But so what? He forever changed pop music, recording acres of perfect material over two short decades. Elvis (deservedly) remains the King.
