Elvis Is Back - Did He Ever Really Leave The Building?

Been a while since I did a post and so much has happend over the past few months with Elvis legacy.

First off what a great job I think Priscilla and Lisa Presley did in "Elvis By The Presleys"

Really enjoyed the 2 hour television show and will pick up the extended DVD set this weekend.

Now..the CBS special on Elvis is a whole other story but I'm too tired to get started on that!

Let's just say, putting it as nice as I can, the guy playing EP sucked big time.

The early years ok but the last scene from 1968 could not have been any worse.

Will post again soon about Elvis tribute artist Brandon Bennette. The kid, litterally a kid he's only 23, is absolutely terrific.

He's got the moves and charisma and much of the raw charm Elvis had. What he lacks in voice he more than makes up for on stage! He's got the man down pat and does just a good of job in the concert years.

What I really liked is how Brandon portrays Elvis from the early 50's, through the 60's, does a great Private Elvis Presley from the United States Army and even the movie years.

I think Brandon has more fun doing the movie songs than Elvis ever did that's for sure.

More to come EP Fans.
