With my elderly mother now living with us, we get to listen to the King often. I used to cringe everytime she put one of his albums on. Lately I've been listening more carefully to vocal stylings, category, lyrics, etcetera and find I'm continually amazed. It's no wonder why he will always be the King of Rock n' Roll.
So if you listen to any "E" what's your favorite example of royal vocal trillings and why?
Here's a couple of mine:
"Mean Woman Blues" - My husband swears this is his theme song. Good rockabilly feel to it without being saccharine and I just love the lyrics. The song was also performed as a number in "Loving You."
"Mess of Blues" - Pop Blues. There are moments in this song that I just had to stop and listen to - he sounds like he's in real pain.
"If I Can Dream" - Gospel. Not sure if this is the correct title, but he sung this in his comeback special. I've heard other artist's renditions of this classic and just can't ever appreciate theirs as much as his.
So ... if you are a subject of the King, let us know what your faves are.
