    He was apparently so cool that people don't care that he was going out with a 14 year old when he was a grown man

    I suppose there's not much of a conversation he could be having with a 14 year old...more chance of getting some action........maybe that's where he got the inspiration for the lyrics

    People forget about all the rockstars and their encounters with underage groupies.

    David Bowie comes to mind.

    One of the saddest songs ever written... not sure Elvis quite captures the misery though...

    Don't think many thought it cool between the 60s and the early 2000s when some Dutch dance producer got his hands on it...

    Well done on posting the original version of the song rather than that Junkie XL shite.

    I love Elvis. Over the years I've bought pretty much every CD or DVD I can get my hands on as well as the odd record.

    One of my favourite Elvis albums is Elvis Country.



    I love his early stuff too, like his Sun recordings and his first RCA album.

    Was never a fan of his music, and tbh I can't respect a guy who liked to have sex with children

    If you are a fan of Led Zeppelin and a few others from that era - you might find it hard to enjoy any music

    Trying to rationalize child abuse?

    Listen, I get that he's popular...but he was a paedophile....if he looked like Jimmy Savile...it would be a different story today.

    Well all I know was that he met Priscilla when she was young but he was fairly young himself at the time no? I don't know the story or anything in that regards about him. Just the songs. Is there something I'm missing? You can't say you've never sang or danced to an Elvis song Don ffs? Seen as your always going on about the sanctimonious on here, you might end up with little to say :/:p

    No, not all what I'm trying to do... just saying it was bloody rampant

    And i get the hypocrisy of someone calling Jimmy Saville a paedo whilst rocking out to a Jimmy Page number. Led Zeppelin are **** anyways.

    Well, he was in the army and sleeping with her when she was 14...not the only young person he slept with...even Natalie Wood remarked when she was being set up with him that she was too old for him..she was 18.

    I genuinely never liked his music, I found out about the other stuff later :D
    I don't think it's sanctimonious to say you don't respect a child abuser?...
    But look, I'll leave it alone....I'm in a minority here :)
