People tend to think there are only two Elvis'...young rock-a-billy Elvis in his black leather coat, and old Vegas Elvis in his white sequined jump suit...but in reality Elvis contained multitudes. There was Country Elvis, Gospel Elvis, Soul Elvis, Beach Elvis, Army Elvis, Gay Elvis, Asian Elvis (okay, I'm making shit up)...but most striking of all, to me, is there was the Elvis who was not drastically different (in the music he made) than Dean Martin...it's so strange, with the benefit of hindsite, to see how little difference there was between the early rock and roll that parents got so upset about, and the very music that they were listening too.
Anyway, not a bad song.
