Ronnie James Dio, Bon Scott, Bruce Dickinson and Elvis Presley..

Did you ever meet Elvis Presley?

Elvis Presley is undeniably one of the most iconic and influential figures of the 20th century.

( After a year of playing Elvis Presley on the screen), is still talking like him Not a bad person to be stuck talking like. Unfortunately, his next project is "The Jerry Lewis Story" LOL.

I'd have been off playing with my bow and arrow or something and had a big impact on me too, of course, but the Elvis stuff was the real start of it. It was the rocket ship taking off for a whole bunch of us

Elvis Presley movies – I'm a big Elvis fan – although I don't think you should feel guilty about pleasures.

As a child, I saw Elvis Presley. So that was something, I mean he was this person with a guitar and that was the image I wanted to be. I wanted to be a musician so I got my first guitar when I was thirteen years old, and I felt, oh man, now that I have the guitar, I got the music. But it started from that....

Unbelievable! To hear my father grouped together with Elvis Presley, William Faulkner and Eudora Welty, it's a dream.

In "Mystery Train" (1955), he rocks out with an astounding depth, Elvis' voice never sounding so rich, nor so pleading; best of all is his final spontaneous laugh & whoop of excitement, worth its weight in gold.
