1) Elvis Presley Quotes:

"I just fell into it, really. My daddy and I were laughing about it the other day. He looked at me and said, 'What happened, El.? The last thing I can remember is I was working in a can factory, and you were driving a truck.' We all feel the same way about it still."  — Elvis
from "Spotlight on the Arts" August 1987 by Thurston Moore

"Elvis was a Teddy Bear, a very physical, loving person who hugged a lot, and a perfect gentleman. ... ...If you don't watch yourself, he calls you 'ma'am'."
- Mary Tyler Moore, TV Guide, Sept. 19, 1970

(Thank you Mario for sharing these two quotes with us.)

Lisa Marie Quotes

I was quite the spoiled brat. I have quite a temper, obviously inherited from my father, and I became very good at ordering everyone around. I was the princess; the staff were absolutely terrified of me.

I was very much a daddy's girl, and was pretty tyrannical when he was sleeping. If I could get into trouble, I would. I didn't have a lot of respect for those people because I saw a lot of debauchery and decadence going on. People trying to hid it from me, but I was onto them.

I was very protective of my father and I didn't like these people who hung around outside all day. They creeped me out.

2) Elvis Presley & other Legends

King Creole

1958, June 4, While Elvis training in the Army at Fort Hood, Texas "King Creole: was released by Paramount. (Danny Fisher)

King Creole is remembered as one of Elvis Presley’s best movies, and is probably the only one that was ever taken seriously by the critics, the good reviews of the movie filled Elvis with deep satisfaction and accomplishment, which would stay with him right up until his mothers sudden death.

King Creole is a 1958 Elvis Presley film and soundtrack based on the 1952 Harold Robbins novel, A Stone for Danny Fisher.

It tells the story of a young, tough musician making his way in New Orleans.

It was adapted for the screen by Herbert Baker and directed by Michael Curtiz, famous for Casablanca. It was the fourth of Presley's films. Most critics call King Creole his best film and best performance.

Because the more serious and gritty film strayed from the pretty scenery/pretty girls plotless formula that the legions of Presley fans wanted, it was less than a smash at the box office.

The film also featured some of Presley's hardest rocking film song performances, including the title song, and "Hard-Headed Woman" written by Claude Demetrius.

The song "Trouble", a performance that alluded to Muddy Waters and Bo Diddley, was written by songwriting team of Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. Presley used "Trouble" in his tremendously successful December 3, 1968 television comeback special.

"Hard Headed Woman" was the soundtrack's biggest hit, going to No. 1 on Billboard magazine pop chart.

"Trouble" was also recorded by Glenn Danzig, frontman for the Misfits, Samhain and Danzig, and appears on the album Thrall: Demonsweatlive and as a demo recording on the Final Descent re-release.

4) Favourite Elvis song Lyrics for
Just pretend

This new feature of our ezine is for karaoke superstars & the fans that just like to sing-along with the King.

(words & music by Flett — Fletcher)

Just pretend, I`m holding you
And whispering things soft and low
And think of me, how it`s gonna be,
Just pretend I didn`t go
When I walked away, I heard you say
If you need me, you know what to do
I knew it then, I`d be back again
Just pretend I`m right there with you
And I`ll come flying to you, oh yes
All the crying is true
Oh, I will hold you and love you again
But until then, well just pretend
Oh, it`s funny but I can`t recall the things
We said or why you`re crying

But now I know it was wrong to go
I belong here by your side

5) Party Planner tips:

Hosting A Valentines Party

Your valentine’s party should speak for romance from the invitations to the give-aways sent home with the guests at the end of the party.

The internet is full of Valentine’s Day party suggestions, tips and ideas, all you have to do is search the web, gather some ideas and guidelines and be creative. If not, you can follow these suggestions that would insure a romantic and memorable Valentine’s Day celebration for couples spent at your home.

Heart-felt invitations:

A long stemmed red rose with a gold tag board hand delivered to all your guests is certain to charm and bring excitement to your guests. Write in with a red metallic pen all the details of your party. Make sure to ask your guests to come to the party dressed in any red outfit or as a romantic hero or heroine.

Set the room for love:

Decorate your party room with red, gold and white heart-shaped balloons, crepe paper and creative lighting such as scented red, gold and white candles creatively distributed within the room, lamps and lots of potpourri.

Play romantic music, making certain that it is not too loud to allow couples to have an enjoyable conversation.

Romantic table setting:

Cover the tables with a combination of red and white linens. Make a centerpiece for each table with an assortment of red and white roses and small balloons of the same color gathered together with a gold shimmering ribbon. Be sure to make the center piece low enough so as to allow guests to see each other while conversing.

Food for love:

Be sure to make the food look as good as it tastes. Present dishes with a lot of garnishing to make it look attractive as well as go with the theme. Strawberries, edible roses and herbs can draw appeal to any dish that you will serve. Also serve the food on attractive platters.

Serve crab and cheddar cheese sandwiches cut into hearts (using a heart cookie cutter) garnished with fresh tomatoes.

For refreshments, you can mix up a fruit punch and add a bit of red food coloring.

Give-aways with love:

Finally, have something your guests can take home and remind them of a lovely time they had at your place. Here are suggestions:

1. Romantic scent of cologne with a love poem attached to it.

2. Small box of chocolates.

3. Romance novel tied with a red ribbon.

4. A bottle of red wine.

Try hosting a Valentine’s Day party; you’ll be glad you did, when you see couples going home with a contended smile!

After his death several Memphis Mafia members wrote books on their time working for Presley.
