Elvis if he wasn't successful
Wordle About Elvis
Elvis Against Publicity
Elvis was a good person and a good singer and writer but since he did drugs i dont think many people liked him because of it and his repuation was probably not very good. So that is why they didnt like him and some people did so it depends on the person and they way they look up to a person.
I think Elvis was a good person but he did make so many bad choices in his life time but everyone likes his music so thats all that really matters. If he didnt do drugs then maybe people would look at him in not such a negative way but since he did they didnt really like him back then because of it. So what i think is if he didnt do it people would like him a lot better.

who inspired him
"SUCH A VOICE"
The sweetest voice in rock and the man who inspired Elvis Presley among many others would have turned seventy this month, but instead he died, unwanted and underappreciated thirty odd years ago. Clyde McPhatter possessed the most beautiful, purist, high tenor voice in r'n'b history. His sound came from the church and whilst many of rock's greatest moments came from the struggle between good and evil, Clyde's voice was heavenly all the way, there wasn't a drop of the devil to be seen. (It was voice, oh what a voice it was, it really was, such a voice ...)

Why I Like Elvis Presley
I like his songs they are very good and he is just a huge legend and it was to bad that he died of a drug overdose because he could of been popular.

Presley and his wife, meanwhile, had become increasingly distant, barely cohabiting. In 1971, an affair he had with Joyce Bova resulted—unbeknownst to him—in her pregnancy and an abortion. He often raised the possibility of her moving in to Graceland, saying that he was likely to leave Priscilla.[205] The Presleys separated on February 23, 1972, after Priscilla disclosed her relationship with Mike Stone, a karate instructor Presley had recommended to her. Priscilla relates that when she told him, Presley "grabbed ... and forcefully made love to" her, declaring, "This is how a real man makes love to his woman."[206] Five months later, Presley's new girlfriend, Linda Thompson, a songwriter and one-time Memphis beauty queen, moved in with him.[207] Presley and his wife filed for divorce on August 18
In January 1973, Presley performed two benefit concerts for the Kui Lee Cancer Fund in connection with a groundbreaking TV special, Aloha from Hawaii. The first show served as a practice run and backup should technical problems affect the live broadcast two days later. Aired as scheduled on January 14, Aloha from Hawaii was the first global concert satellite broadcast, reaching approximately 1.5 billion viewers live and on tape delay.[209][210] Presley's costume became the most recognized example of the elaborate concert garb with which his latter-day persona became closely associated. As described by Bobbie Ann Mason, "At the end of the show, when he spreads out his American Eagle cape, with the full stretched wings of the eagle studded on the back, he becomes a god figure."[211] The accompanying double album, released in February, went to number one and eventually sold over 5 million copies in the United States.[212] It proved to be Presley's last U.S. number one pop album during his lifetime

Quotes by Elvis Presley
“Some people tap their feet, some people snap their fingers, and some people sway back and forth. I just sorta do ‘em all together, I guess.”
"I ain't no saint, but I've 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 had contributed something to the world."
“Don’t criticize what you don’t understand, son. You never walked in that man’s shoes.”
“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.”
“ ‘Til we meet you again, may God bless you. Adios.”
“The first time that I appeared on stage, it scared me to death. I really didn’t know what all the yelling was about. I didn’t realize that my body was moving. It’s a natural thing to me. So to the manager backstage I said ‘What’d I do? What’d I do?’ And he said “Whatever it is, go back and do it again’.”
“I’ve never gotten over what they call stagefright. I go through it every show. I’m pretty concerned, I’m pretty much thinking about the show. I never get completely comfortable with it, and I don’t let the people around me get comfortable with it, in that I remind them that it’s a new crowd out there, it’s a new audience, and they haven’t seen us before. So it’s got to be like the first time we go on.”

After his 1973 divorce from his wife, Priscilla, Elvis' career began to wane. His finances were in a shambles and his rapid weight gain began to worry him. In an effort to regain his former image, he embarked on a regiment of pills and dieting to lose the weight rapidly.
For him to lose the weight and to maintain his health, he needed to change his life completely. This was something that he was not prepared to do. His lifestyle of staying up all night and partying and then sleeping all day gave his life little structure, and only added to his health problems.
Recently Elvis' daughter, Lisa Marie had expressed her disgust on how her father's grave is turning into a side show attraction. She is apparently considering having him moved to a secret location.
Forest Hill Cemetery, Elvis' prior place of interment, once kept the King's empty crypt on display as a tribute, and perhaps to attract people to visit their cemetery. But since overzealous fans were destroying the place, the cemetery thought it wise to remove Elvis' name and to put the crypt up for sale at an exorbitant price.
The week of August !6th kicks off Elvis week at Graceland. This is when thousands from around the world gather to pay tribute to the King. At night, everyone is given candles as they line up to walk up Graceland’s drive-way and past Elvis’ grave to pay their respects.
