I will be interested to watch this. I believe Black music is at the roots of a lot of what we have now, but the segregation in the early days of rock and roll was an awful thing. I'm sure Elvis was exploited by others, but he may not have been as big otherwise. I'm not so sure about government involvement, but we may never know for sure. Of course they know the power of pop music. I see there are conspiracy theories about Taylor Swift now. Don't believe all you see online!

I can remember when he died as it was big news. I am sure there was a comic strip telling his story in the newspaper. He does stand out in the history of music. Nobody else has as many impersonators.

There is a new movie about Priscilla too. That may give a different angle on things.

Absolutely shameful. A lot of it was fought through pop culture too. Frank Sinatra was another person who worked and played with a lot of black musicians.

I'm sure Elvis was exploited by others, but he may not have been as big otherwise.

He was definitely a shooting star. The world was ready for rock n roll. So much of our modern music has morphed and evolved from early blues and rock n roll.

Some of this stuff is hysterical. I tend to doubt just about everything online until I can verify 🤣 It's getting so difficult to discern the truth these days.

There is a new movie about Priscilla too. That may give a different angle on things.

I'll have to check that out. I'm sure she had a really interesting perspective too.

Me too. My mother still has the newspaper, front page news when he passed. It was a really big deal in our house.

Sorry for the late reply. Took the weekend off from the internet and just seen this! Hope you had a great weekend. Cheers!

It doesn't look like the Elvis movie is on Netflix here yet, but I'll look out for it.
