I discovered Elvis at a young age because my mom loved his holiday CD. Not long ago, I wrote a biography about him. I currently have 420 of his songs. Not nearly enough! I can even sing Wooden Heart in German! I am glad to find other fans.

A couple of weeks ago, I saw my aunt Elaine watching an Elvis biography that had Jonathan Ryyhhs Meyers in it and I sat down with her and watched it with her.
And know I have pictures of him, movies and everything. And when I grow up... I want to be a movie star... and I know if he was alive today.... he would have told me that I could do it if I put my mind to it... Rest In Peace/Elvis Aaron Presley, my hero and inspiration.

Hi:
I have been an Elvis fan since I was a very little girl. My dad passed away when I was 2 years old and my mom used to listen to Elvis records to keep her mind off the sadness! I did not know that at the time, so I grew up knowing all of his songs and seeing any and all of his movies when they were on TV! It made my mom very happy to watch with me!
I now have a family of my own and we actually have a dog named Elvis! He is a puppy Havanese with a very cute Elvis Presley hairstyle! We are trying to get him on a Puppy Calendar for 2009! We would love to make Elvis, the King the winner of the contest. If you or any of your readers could vote for him, we sure would appreciate it! You can go to campbowwow.com/contest to vote! Thanks, ya all and we will always remember the King!!

I started to like Elvis last november when I went to my dad's friend's wedding reception and there was a really good Elvis impersonator called Tony Fletcher and I loved all the songs! And when I got home I started listening to Elvis and buyind his movies and I fell in love with him! I'm a bit lonely at school because people think that I am retarded for liking Elvis! I want some friends to hang around with who like Elvis too, who I can talk about him to! Because I get lonely and nobody who I know let me talk about Elvis because they don't want to hear about him :( I'll be an Elvis fan for ever! R.I.P KING ! XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

I have been doing a lot of research on Elvis. He was born in the same year and month as my sister. He died on my Grandmother's Birthday and was buried on mine. That was the saddest birthday I've ever had. No way would I celebrate that year, or quite a few years after. My birthday has never meant anything to me since. I have never forgotten Elvis and I still cry every day over him even though it's been 31 years since he passed. He was the most beautiful man ever born. He was loving and caring, not just to his family but to strangers. There will never be another Elvis, NEVER !!!
I know I will meet him when I pass away, and I will get the chance to tell him how much the world loves him still and the effect he had on everyone.
Some one once said "without Elvis there is nothing" No truer words were ever spoken. Some people believe he is still alive. I wish with all my heart he was, then maybe this pain I carry around inside would go away. I know he was a flesh and blood man, not a god, but I love him more then anyone in the world. I also wish he was still with us so I could answer the questions he had about why he was here and what happens after you die. But with us here on earth or in spirit, he is still, and always will be THE KING..God Bless you Elvis You will be loved forever.

I am 18 years old. I think I was maybe 9 when I started waching him on tv. I think I was watching him on the Ed Sullivan show.
My grandma got me an Elvis 68 comeback doll from qvc when I was 10. I think that was how old I was. And that was the last thing my gram got, she died in june of 2000. She was an Elvis fan too. My dad remembers where he was when Elvis was pronounced dead. I have gone to Graceland in 2001. I was so amazed that I was speechless. I even set one of the alarms off just pointing at something, but we did not go to Tupelo. But we where still on the Internet when we got to Memphis and dad did not get off the Internet, just lol. Dad drove into Arkansas twice (lol). I have met people that have gone to his concerts. One lady that I met told me that her and her dad was going to meet Elvis at a bar but they didn't.

When my step-dad first moved in, he was a HUGE Elvis fan. Back then, I hated Elvis just because he liked him (you know, rebellious phases.) However, once the movie "Lilo and Stitch" came out, which featured several Elvis songs. I became a fan of "Burning Love." Over time, the interest faded, until about two years ago. I popped in an Elvis CD and listened to it. Ater that, I wanted to see a video of Elvis. And, it just kind of grew from there. Today, I like over 250 of his songs and listen to him every day.

I have grown up on Elvis since I was 10, my first time I ever heard him, the song that attracted me to him was old Mc Donald had a farm from one of his movies. I had a friend that knew before me and he introduced Elvis to me. That's when I became a fan for life. Now I am a Tribute Artist of Elvis. In 2008 I am going to do tribute for Charities to search for cures of many incurable deseases, we love you Elvis Long Live The King.

I was raised listening to ELVIS. I wish I could have seen him in concert, every time I see him on t.v. or a computer a tear comes to my eye, because to me he was the greatest at what he did. I listen to his music every day and never get tired of it for 33 years. I can sing like him really well and am curious if anybody knows how I can get involved in Elvis impersonating. I love to sing and I will always love ELVIS PRESLEY.. I wish I could have met him..

I've liked Elvis since I was 6 but I only got really interested since I was 11. I don't know why I love him so much I just do. It's like some thing that just happens. I mean you can't look at him and not love him! If it wasnt for him I would never have made the great friends I have recently I just joined a fan club and I adore the people in it and they have an ETA friend who is the most!! Thank you Elvis for everything no matter what I will always love you!!:)

I have loved Elvis since I was a little girl, and his looks, his beliefs, and music have been a profound gift for me, in everything I do. He was and is still the King of music. Not just Rock and Roll. And I think Elvis should have married Ann Margret. He would probably still be alive.
Don't get me wrong, mind you, I loved him, and always will.

I became a fan when I watched a TV progam all about his life. He was the king of all time, also very good looking. He sings a song called "Daddy Don't Cry". If no has heard of it then you have to listen to it. What a song! And also they have put it together with Lisa-Marie as a duet. It's very touching and emotional.

I guess it began when I was little. My parents were huge fans and went to multiple concerts. My father has had a DJ business since 61' all I listened to was Doo Wop, oldies & ELVIS. Most people think I am obsessed with ELVIS. Well that may be true but there are worse things to obsess about, right. He influenced not only the 50's generation but future generations also. Just look at the young fans, that's proof enough. He could sing anything and his range is unequalled. His impact on the world is unmeasurable. He continues to be the standard by which cultural significance is measured. They say the three most recognizable figures in the history of the world are Jesus Christ, Mickey Mouse and ELVIS. Not bad. If you're not a believer, just research it and find out many of the last 50 years worth of musical acts and entertainers have cited ELVIS as their influence. It's been said before and it's true. We will never see the likes of an ELVIS PRESLEY again. He was a once in a lifetime phenomenom. Enjoy his music for that is his greatest legacy and reason we all love him.

I was an Elvis fan since I was about 7 yrs. old. The first time I saw him was on Ed Sullivan. In 1972 I went to see him at the Garden. They taped that night's performance. When he sang Love Me, I yelled out I love you Elvis, well he cracked-up. When the albumn came out I got up early that morning and went to buy it to hear if when he laughed at me was the the record. It was. I use to play it for everyone who walked into my house. I love Elvis with all my heart. I had a brother that was born the same year as Elvis on January 6th. He also died from drugs at 45. I will always have a special place in my heart for Elvis. I would love to visit Graceland someday. Thank you for letting me share my story with you. God Bless

I have been a Elvis fan ever since I can remember. He is my life. I love him SO much! I can't imagine him not being a part of my life. I pretty much have grown up on Elvis because my moma and my grandmother are HUGE Elvis fans. I have every movie and recording Elvis made and I am STILL collecting! I am going to sing at Graceland with the Select Ensemble at my school and I can't wait! This is like a dream come true for me! He is the most gorgeous, talented, and sweet man that EVER walked the planet and EVER will! In my heart he is like my boyfriend! When I get to heaven I am going to stay right by his side and marry him! He makes me happy. He always has. When I am sad he comes in my mind and my tears are dried instantly. He gives me a sense of completeness. I thank God for allowing that man to be born. I personally think Priscilla was CRAZY for divorcing him! He tried so hard to make their marriage work, but she expected too much from him! I know because I read her book Elvis and Me. Elvis is AMAZING! When he would smile that beautiful smile of his the world and life itself would be so much easier. I LOVE YOU ELVIS ALWAYS AND FOREVER AND FOR LIFE AND ETERNITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was 11 when I first saw Elvis on tv. His music, his dancing, just the way he acted. To me he was so real in his actions. You could just tell by the way he acted that he couldn't believe all the excitement that he caused. He just seemed like a real person not a madeup actor. He was genuine, he enjoyed his fans, he respected us. I can't count the times I heard him say without the fans, you have nothing. He loved show business, and when he sang his song to us we knew that he was all ours for the concert or program. He loved us and we loved him right back. I will always have great respect and love for him.

I remember as a teenager first hearing Elvis's music. My mom and dad have always been big fans of his and attended several concerts. I would have given anything to have been able to meet him. I love his music and the Love Story of him and Priscilla. He had a beautiful voice that even lasted him to the end of his life. Their will never be another King of Rock-n-Roll like him. Deep down he was a big hearted man- he lived for the excitement of the Stage. The last time I went to Memphis as I was riding down the road near Graceland I actually felt chill bumps on my arms knowing that I was in his presence at his hometown. He will never be forgotten and his music will always be admired.

My parents always played his music at house parties ect. I guess when I reached the age to start taking interest in music, I difered from the path everyone else took (either heavy metal or rap) and chose Elvis. Since then I have become fascinated with the guy, not just his amazing talents and his ability to host dynamic and legendary performances, but the person himself. Its just sad to see how someone who had everything, ended up with nothing. They say good people don't diserve to die, well I believe this case argues against that saying.

I grew up watching Elvis on the TV like all teenagers I thought there was nothing like him he was beautiful in every way. He was good looking, I loved his movies I still sit and watch them over and over. I was fortune enough to go to Graceland in December of 1997 I cried all through the mansion I just thought it was the greatest thing that had every happen to me. I have a bedroom at home when my daughter moved out I turned into my ELVIS room and no one is allowed in without my permission its my own personal tribute to Elvis. I LOVED him and every August 16th I think about him and his birthday January 8th. To you Elvis the true King of Rock and Roll.

The fan story of: Keith, 38 |
When Elvis was still alive, I knew about the rock 'n' roll icon he had become and all that. And even though I listened to rock 'n' roll, I wasn't a huge fan of Elvis--until the day he died (the REAL Day the Music Died, I might add). Then, like I'm pretty sure millions of other Elvis fans of today did, I jumped on the "Elvis Bandwagon", if you will, becoming hooked on Elvis, his life and career. And from then on, I had become one of the biggest Elvis fans in the world.
And in listening to his music, it's easy to see why Elvis to this very day remains--and no doubt always will remain--the undisputed, undefeated King of Rock 'n' Roll. Elvis is to rock 'n' roll what Richard Petty is to auto racing, the Dallas Cowboys is to football, and the New York Yankees is to baseball. He truly is--even in death--the world's greatest entertainer.
And it's such a thrill to know, from this site and other sources, that even today's youngsters--many of whom weren't even born until years after Elvis' passing--like Elvis just as much as any teenager of the Fifties ever did, thereby making a great contribution to keeping the phenomenon of Elvis alive and well. God bless you all for that!

I became an Elvis fan in 1991 when I listened to "Calling Elvis" a song by Dire straits. and some magazines also published articles on him. I was so curious about this "king of Rock n roll" that I had to buy his No.1s colection CD. Since then Me and my brother Anupam became Elvis fans. He had an authentic and unique style that gave a direction to whole Rock n roll music & the industry. so anyone who loves music is grateful and thankful to the king. We would love to go to USA and visit Graceland. May your name live forever king ELVIS!!

I have been an Elvis fan for a long time, but just over the past year I have really started to get to know more about him and his extraordinary life and career. I took my first trip to Graceland this past March and anticipate going again soon! It was really the neatest thing I have ever experienced, and very emotional too. My 7 year old daughter and 19 month old both love his music- they both love to jam out to Jailhouse Rock, and we all love watching the movies. We also have started a pretty good collection of memorabilia. Elvis was a wonderful human being and never forgot where he came from- We Love You Elvis!!

well when did I discover Elvis? I think it was 1969 , at home we had a record album called "hits presley style".wasn't elvis himself but a good album anyway and I played it all the time,I remember suspicious minds coming on the radio and loving that,saw the occasional afternoon movie which I always sat on the floor to watch, blue hawiia ,gi blues fantastic entertainment for a kid.one day in 1972 I was walking home from school and noticed an Elvis monthly magazine in the window of the local barber shop,went in and brought it for 20 pence, I can still remember the picture spread across the centre pages , Elvis walking across the stage with his arms spread out with his cape behind him and I thought he looked like a real super hero ,and from that day on thats the way I think of him.i bought my first album in 1970 , it was Elvis' christmas album, then in 1975 there was a big fuss made about Elvis turning 40.a story came on the news in I think 1976 that claimed Elvis presley tells a concert crowd that they stink and walked off the stage,i was shocked and disapointed,but I was young and thought that because it was on the news then it must be true.i am wiser now and know they sometimes make up stories.this was in my mind when in 77 they anounced that elvis had died, I said to my mom that "he had turned bad ,"i was wrong and found out later, as I learned more about the man.the night of his death I sat up till radio luxy 208 closed down at 3.45 am, having taped the show I decided to buy all his records and thats what I have been doing for the years since then.i have visited graceland many times but the only time I felt that I had really been to graceland was in 2002 when I took the night tour.wow what a difference, it felt like a home and not a museum,i recomend if you get the chance take the night tour in january while the christmas lights are still up.elvis to me was a good and kind man ,the medication he took because of his lifestyle changed his true personality some of the time, he had a temper, he demanded loyalty,in return he was a tue friend to many.he said once that he would like to meet every one of his fans and thank them, I think that wish is coming true, only its us who go one by to visit his resting place to say "thanks Elvis,".
I find it very hard to pick one song as a favourite ,it changes almost daily, but if I was pushed I might just choose .....Young and beutiful. hope you enjoyed my brief history and got the message that I think I am very lucky to have discovered the incredable elvis aaron presley.
best wishes to all fans of the only king of music .

The fan story of: Diane Thomas, 63 |
I saw Elvis sing in Atlanta, Georgia, in spring, 1956, at the Paramount Theater. "Heartbreak Hotel" had just come out. Almost everyone there was a teenage girl. We all screamed at the top of our lungs, so loud we couldn't hear his music. For the next six months (until I developed a crush on a boy in my church who looked like Elvis) I was a fanatical Elvis fan. Fifty years later, this experience inspired me to write a novel, THE YEAR THE MUSIC CHANGED. It is being published in September, 2005, and you can buy it on the Internet and at bookstores. It's told as a series of letters between 20-year-old Elvis, who has not yet been "discovered" nationally, and a 14-year-old Atlanta girl. LIBRARY JOURNAL has already given in a starred review, denoting a "work of exceptional merit," and has recommended it for all library collections. So I may have quit being a "fanatical fan" many years ago, but I certainly never forgot him.

I became a fan of Elvis on the 25th Anniversary of hos death. He was all over the tv and my mam had dim on, I started to watch a little bit and have been hooked on him ever since. Now I couldnt imagine my life not being a fan of his. My twin sister also became a huge, devoted fan too, we persuaded our parents to takr us to Graceland anf it was amazingyet emotional. To me Elvis was someone very special, his charisma, charm, love he had for his fans and everyone else, he was stunningly beautiful, had an amazing voice always and could move like no other. People are suprised when they find I am a big fan (so much so I have his logo 'TCB' tattooed on my back) but I have been defending and will go on defending his legacy until I die, because he deserves it!

I have LOVED elvis since I was 2 years old. I grew up with the influence of my grandmother. I guess when I was born she used to sing "Are You Lonesome Tonight". Then one day, when I was 2, I woke up and wanted to watch a movie and my grand mother asked "what kind of movie do you want to watch and I said "Elvis". And I remember when I was little wanting a wedding dress for christmas so I could marry him. He is the most talented man to walk this planet.

In 1955 I was working at Radio Station KOEL, Oelwein, Iowa. One day I took a phone call from a woman asking if the DJ could play "I Forgot to Remember to Forget" by Elvis Presley. I had never heard of Elvis, and had trouble remembering his name and the name of the song. So, I switched the woman's call directly to the DJ. That was the first time I heard of Elvis. Shortly after that Elvis had his first #1 pop hit -- "Heartbreak Hotel".

I've been an big Elvis Aaron Presley fan since the 50's. He is still the #1 in all America and over seas. I've never saw him in person cause I couldn't afford to. I wish I could afford an item of his, but can't afford that. He made me swoon. I loved him. He is still #1. I hope I can afford to go and see his Gravesite and his home. I've been collecting Elvis Presley's collectables, but now I can't afford to.
I LOVE ELVIS AARON PRESLEY FOREVER.

I have been an Elvis fan as long as I can remember. When I was little I would pull out my dad's old LP's and listen to them all day long.
My kids are growing up listening to Elvis and appreciating Elvis' influence.
My 2 year old was in time out the other night and I happened to be watching the Elvis documentary "That's the Way it Was". I looked over and he had his nose in the corner but his butt was shaking back and forth to the music. I was so proud.

When I was little my mom would Elvis music and his movies 24/7. I would dance to it and sing his songs with my mom. Then when I grew up, I started buying his CDs, books, movies, and you name I have it. Today I still love listening to his music and I will always listen, collect and watch his stuff forever. He is the KING of Rock n Roll and a very true lengend. I LOVE YOU ELVIS PRESLEY.

I love Elvis, he was a great singer! Too many words to explain why I am a fan of Elvis. I named my daughter "Priscilla". I always thought that was a beutifull name & of course because of his wife. Long Live the King of Rock & Roll!!
