Elvis’ musical influences were the pop and country সঙ্গীত of the time, the gospel সঙ্গীত he heard in church and at the all-night gospel sings he frequently attended, and the black R&B he absorbed on historic Beale রাস্তা as a Memphis teenager.

I first heard Elvis's amazing voice on the night of বড়দিন eve 2000. I was 8 and I fell in প্রণয় with the music. My grandma was a huge অনুরাগী and she has all his records. If আপনি really want to hear amazing, I recomend buying a record player and albums. They are way better sound quality then cds...by far!
So I've listened to his সঙ্গীত a lot growing up...I now own most of his movies, & over the years I have collected 300 albums and cds. I have loved him from the first সেকেন্ড I heard him on that বড়দিন eve night...I hope to hear his সঙ্গীত played for the rest of my life and it wouldn't be বড়দিন without Elvis playing in the back ground!
সঙ্গীত is a big part of my life...it sure wouldn't be the same without a little Elvis and Paul Stanley in my day. And I really think সঙ্গীত can make আপনি feel better...Elvis's সঙ্গীত does that for me. So if your having a bad দিন just try listen to Burning love, Devil in Disguise, অথবা Blue Suede Shoes and not smile! Sometimes a little Elvis is all আপনি need. ^__^ x0x0x
