You may disagree, and that's fine, but I'm of the opinion that Elvis Presley had the most evocative, if not the best, voice ever recorded. Smooth as Egyptian cotton sheets, rich as double fudge chocolate chip ice cream. And it made him a very, very wealthy man. As a matter of fact, Elvis makes more every year dead than most people will see in a lifetime. He is, I dare say, one of the top five most popular figures in American history.
He died with his terrific, world-reknowned hair mussed, his unbelievably well-known and loved face lying in a puddle of his own vomit.
I think we could say that Elvis Presley, when it was all said and done, was not really a success. He accomplished incredible things, will not be forgotten as long as the world stands, amassed more wealth and possessions than most reading this could imagine. But he died, a miserable man, from a drug overdose. Why? I think Elvis was saved. There's certainly a good bit of evidence that he may have been. And it's well-documented that his true musical heart was gospel music, and that he always wanted to be a gospel singer. But he allowed himelf to be taken off track. Elvis was never in the will of God, I don't believe; not because he sang rock and roll (that's another conversation altogether,) but because he didn't sing what he knew he was supposed to.
To be continued....
