Elvis Presley Biography fan`s survey results:

Shirley Mott
From: Canada

1. How and when did you first hear about Elvis Presley?
: I first heard Elvis when I was about 8 years old, not aware of who he really was. Years ago, I live on a farm where there was no hydro or running water. We had a radio that was battery operated (car battery in those days) and some how my father hooked the battery to a radio. Well! that nite my aunt and older sister were listening to Elvis' first release (That's All Right Mama). That was my first introduction to Elvis and he has lived in my heart and soul since.

2. What was it that got you hooked on Elvis?
: To me, Elvis could sing any type of songs from Rock 'n' Roll, Country, Gospel to Blues. He put his heart and soul to what ever he sang and could do it like NO one else could. I loved him as an actor, handsome, oh!oh! those eyes and his voice echos in my ears. (my favorite 68 Come Back)

3. If Elvis were alive, what would you like to say to him or ask him?
"My Message to Elvis": My message to Elvis would be "Don't ever stop singing". You gave hope to so many people with your love and generosity. I love you for what you have left for us.

4. WHICH is your favourite Elvis Presley song or movie? And why is it your favourite?
: My favorite song is "In The Ghetto" because it tells a story about hard times.

5. Which is your favourite SUIT that Elvis wore on stage?
: My favorite suit was one that was all Red (all the suits had a name, I'm not sure what this one was called).

6. Who do you think Elvis loved most in his life, his greatest love?
: Elvis's greatest love was his mother, most loved was Lisa Marie and Priscilla.

7. Where were you and what were you doing when you heard that Elvis had died?
: I was getting off work and my husband picked me up only to tell me of Elvis's death and tears just rolled down my cheeks.

8. Why do you think Elvis still attracts new fans every year, even long after his death?
: If it wasn't for Priscilla, we wouldn't have what we are experiencing now. He loved his fans and now we're showing our appreciation for all the good things he has left us.

Have you been to Graceland?...If so, would you like to share your experence or feelings on this site?
: I have yet to make my way to Graceland.

HELLO Shirley

Thank you for your kind comments on our survey. Elvis was a very handsome man, his eyes, his lips, his face was soooooo gorgeous and his voice was so warm and loving. Your choice of song is a favorite of mine too; the lyrics are more than just words he sings from the heart, it`s sung with his feelings. I totally adore him and long for the day I make it to Graceland. Elvis offers so much to us in his music; he has had a huge effect on many world wide. Once Elvis touches your life he stays in your heart forever. I love your poem; it comes from your heart. Being a devoted fan is easy when he offered so much goodness to his fans all round the world. I agree, with your comment about Priscilla, she has made a lot of things possible. Her devotion to her x husband is a loyal love. She is also an amazing person and deserves a lot more credit for her on going honor for our King.

Shirley I have put the lyrics to our favorite song below

Its beautiful, hope you enjoy!

"In The Ghetto"

As the snow flies
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
A poor little baby child is born
In the ghetto
And his mama cries
'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need
It's another hungry mouth to feed
In the ghetto

People, don't you understand
The child needs a helping hand
Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
Take a look at you and me,
Are we too blind to see,
Do we simply turn our heads
And look the other way

Well the world turns
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
In the ghetto

And his hunger burns
So he starts to roam the streets at night
And he learns how to steal
And he learns how to fight
In the ghetto

Then one night in desperation
A young man breaks away
He buys a gun, steals a car,
Tries to run, but he don't get far
And his mama cries

As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man
Face down in the street with a gun in his hand
In the ghetto

As her young man dies,
On a cold and grey Chicago mornin',
Another little baby child is born
In the ghetto
And his mama cries

In the ghetto
In the ghetto
