In the world of art, heroes can be found in all corners of the globe. The beauty of art, and music in particular, is how singular and personal it can feel. A song can make the singer an icon, if only to a few hundred people who happened to hear it. Bruce Springsteen is a hero to millions of music lovers. | Elvis Presley| www.elvis.com.au
In this work of speculative fiction, Shawn Poole ponders the possibilities of what could have been if Bruce Springsteen had gotten to meet Elvis Presley before August 16, 1977. Might things have turned out any differently for either or both of them? Poignantly reminding us of the promise and potential that tragically disappeared in that long ago summer. Memphis, Tennessee was sweltering in the mid-July heat. | Elvis Presley| www.elvis.com.au
The Sweet Inspirations were founded by 'Cissy' Houston (Born Emily Drinkard, married to Gary Houston at age 21 for two years) mother of Whitney Houston, and sister of Lee Warrick (herself the mother of well-known sisters, Myrna Smith's cousins Dee Dee and Dionne Warwick).

'On the drums from Dallas, Texas, is hard-working Ronnie Tutt', is how Elvis usually introduced Ronnie on stage, but I don't think that any kind of introduction is really necessary for our readers. Not only did he play drums for Elvis from 1969 to 1977, but he's also a highly regarded session-drummer that has worked with the likes of Neil Diamond and Elvis Costello. | Elvis Presley| www.elvis.com.au
Elvis Meets the Beatles .. It lasted for about two or three hours and there were no cameras taken -- no pictures whatsoever. People say there's pictures. No recordings, nothing like that. The only pictures of that meeting were outside taken by fans and photographers. | Elvis Presley| www.elvis.com.au
As the only child of Elvis Aaron Presley, rock & roll's first and most celebrated rock star, and Priscilla presley, Lisa Marie Presley would have to work extremely hard to establish her own individuality, far far away from her famous Father. It would be a rough road, but Lisa Marie had the spark and rawness to do it and to do it on her own terms. Born to Elvis and Priscilla Presley on February 1, 1968, Elvis' only daughter spent the first four years of her life at Graceland where she was th...| www.elvispresley.com.au
Jerry Scheff interviewed. So many singers sing a song, and they're thinking about the way they're going to sing - the projection, the phrasing and so forth. When Elvis sang a song, it was just going through him, and it came out to the people that way. He was probably better at that than anybody that ever lived. | Elvis Presley| www.elvis.com.au
James Burton was born in Dubberly, Louisiana, on August 21, 1939, but he grew up in Shreveport which he refers to as home. He never took any lessons in how to play the guitar. He picked it up from listening and sitting in. His first guitar was not a Fender (the one he is most associated with) but a Rex, and after that a Stella. In 1953, he walked into a Shreveport music store and fell in love with the '53 Telecaster. | Elvis Presley| www.elvis.com.au
