I remember seeing Elvis for the first time on the Ed Sullivan show. I was too young to know what he was all about but I knew something was happening when he started to shake his hips. I looked over at my dad to see what his reaction would be. Well - he was laughing so hard that tears were running down his cheeks. In his day, he was outrageous.

He broke through some barriers and the flood followed. He was a leader. Too bad about his being drafted and all those horrible movies and Las Vegas.
