This is a great post, L.A.! So true about having the technology and the good sense of when to use it. I say let the man rest in peace and totally agree that only his daughter should be able to do a 'duet' with him. Same thing for Hank Williams & Hank, Jr. (not that anyone else is recording "with" him).<BR/>**pushing soapbox back under desk**<BR/><BR/>darleneDarlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08189062466234569467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8238174599083558093.post-86772625337417175112008-12-21T07:41:00.000-06:002008-12-21T07:41:00.000-06:00Rick and laughingwolf...not the best visual, eithe...Rick and laughingwolf...not the best visual, either.

When he died in the late seventies, I still held onto my bigotry of Elvis and the culture of the fifties that gave him birth. Still...in the last few years, I think I've started to develop an appreciation for THE KING. <BR/><BR/>Elvis was a phenomena..and he certainly helped popularize certain forms of music that white kids might not have become acquainted with, at least not for a while. However, while Elvis was rocking to HOUND DOG, the woman who wrote and sang that number (Big Mama Thorton) was still touring the chitlin' circuit, crooning with a sax and guitar for accompanyment.<BR/><BR/>At least Elvis did'nt destroy the integrity of Rand B. His rock and roll wasn't offensive. Unlike Pat Boone and other whites recruited by the studios to produce white "race records". Who can ever forget Boone's rousing version of "Tooty Fruity". Good God. Yawl.<BR/><BR/>So, here's to Elvis. I wronged you and in my twilight years I admit your work had merit and that your presence made the music world a better place.Stewart Sternberg (half of L.P.
