  1. Dig that early Elvis. The first few years were really special.

  2. Was thinking about Elvis the other day. In the Ghetto is a personal favorite.

  3. Ron, I had never heard this Elvis number before. I listen to his songs quite often and my personal favourite is "You Were always on My Mind." I like the beat and the tempo. "Suspicious Minds" is another nice song.

  4. Like Charles, my personal favorite is "In the Ghetto" and my parents who loved Elvis didn't like that particular song. I also like "Kentucky Rain."
