As The Strippers,
Flyin through The Valley,
Is That Friend in Memory We Made,
Is A True Friend we have Lost,

WE REMEMBER THE KING.
WE REMEMBER,WE REMEMBER THE KING
WE RECALL,WE RECALL EVERYTHING,
WE WILL TRESAURE ALL OF THE GIFTS,
THAT HE DID BRING
WE REMEMBER THE KING.

Ilse de Lange "I still cry"


I'm making flowers out of paper
While darkness takes the afternoon
I know that they won't last forever
But real ones fade away to soon

I still cry sometimes when I remember you
I still cry sometimes when I hear your name
I said goodbye and I know you're alright now
But when the leaves start falling down I still cry

It's just that I recall September
It's just that I still hear your song
It's just I can't seem to remember
Forever more those days are gone

I still cry sometimes when I remember you
I still cry sometimes when I hear your name
I said goodbye and I know you're alright now
But when the leaves start falling down I still cry


IST DAS AUCH ÜBER ELVIS??

und ich finde man könnte sogar meinen dass Lisa es singt !

Es ist definitiv Ilse de Lange die dort singt.
Ob dieser Song wirklich nur von Elvis handelt kann ich nicht sagen, wenn man das Video dazu betrachtet, können einem schon die Tränen kommen... sehr gut gemacht. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1yfMUx9g80&feature=related"]YouTube - elvis i still cry[/ame]

I Remember Elvis Presley

Last night I turned the radio on for the midnight news
suddenly I thought I'd died of a broken heart
when I heard the announcer say:
The great rock singer Elvis Presley
also known as the king
just died in a hospital in Memphis
Tennessee
USA
at the age of fortytwo years.
I remember Elvis Presley
Lord
how I love to hear him sing
so I'll adore him just for ever
for he's the one and only "King".
Like he was singing "Now or never
he's just a golden memory.
Good luck charm
is not for ever
good luck songs
we need 'em ever
again
again I'll play your songs
'cause in my mind you haven't gone.
I remember Elvis Presley
Lord
how I love to hear him sing
so I'll adore him just for ever
for he's the one and only "King".
Like he was singing "Now or never
he's just a golden memory.
My dear friend I won't forget you
when I need you I can hear you
King
though I dont know where or when
there'll be a day we meet again.
Elvis Presley
I wanna thank you for all the happiness
you gave so many people all over the world
during many many years.
Ha
I remember the disc-jockey was playing "Jailhouse Rock"
When I had my first date with a beautiful girl
and since that evening
you've been my friend
Elvis !
I remember Elvis Presley
Lord
how I love to hear him sing
so I'll adore him just for ever
for he's the one and only "King".
Like he was singing "Now or never
he's just a golden memory.
So I'll adore him just for ever
he's just a golden memory.

neil young - he was the king

He Was The King lyrics


The last time I saw Elvis
He was shooting at a colour TV
The phones were ringing in the pink motel
And the rest is history
He was the King

The last time I saw Elvis
He was singing a gospel song
You could tell he had the feeling
And the whole world sang along
He was the King

The last time I saw Elvis
He was up on the silver screen
Pushing a plough in a black and white movie
And everybody started to scream
Yes, he was the King

The last time I saw Elvis
It was some kind of Vegas dream
Spotlights flashed on a silver cape
And a blue-haired lady screamed
He was the King

The last time I saw Elvis
He was fronting a three-piece band
Rocking on the back of a flatbed truck
With an old guitar in his hand
He was the King

The last time I saw Elvis

The last time I saw Elvis
He was riding in a pink Cadillac
Wind was blowing through his hair
And he never did look back
He was the King

Thank you very much

The last time I saw Elvis
He was singing that gospel song
You could tell that he had the feeling
And the whole world sang along
He was the King

He was the King
He was the King

(- Elvis has left the arena

Big Train From Memphis - John Fogerty

When I was young, I spent my summer days playin' on the track.
The sound of the wheels rollin' on the
steel took me out, took me back.

CHORUS:
Big Train from Memphis, Big Train from Memphis,
Now it's gone gone gone, gone gone gone.

Like no one before, he let out a roar, and I just had to tag along.
Each night I went to bed with the sound in my
head, and the dream was a song.

CHORUS
Well I've rode 'em in and back out again - you
know what they say about trains;
But I'm tellin' you when that Memphis train came through,
This ol' world was not the same.

Gillian Welch- Elvis Presley Blues:

I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died
I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died
Just a country boy that combed his hair
And put on a shirt his mother made and went on the air
And he shook it like a chorus girl
And he shook it like a Harlem queen
He shook it like a midnight rambler,
baby,
Like you never seen

I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died
I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died
How he took it all out of black and white
Grabbed his wand in the other hand and he held on tight
And he shook it like a hurricane
He shook it like to make it break
And he shook it like a holy roller, baby
With his soul at stake

I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died
I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died
He was all alone in a long decline
Thinking how happy John Henry was that he fell down and died
When he shook it and he rang like silver
He shook it and he shine like gold
He shook it and he beat that steam drill, baby
Well bless my soul

He shook it and he beat that steam drill, baby
Well bless my soul, what's wrong with me?

I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died
I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died
Just a country boy that combed his hair
Put on a shirt his mother made and he went on the air
And he shook it like a chorus girl
He shook it like a Harlem queen
He shook it like a midnight rambler, baby
Like he never seen

ROY ORBISON
Hound Dog Man

Hey, hound dog man,
Where you been now,where you been?
I wish that you were back,
It was too good to ever end.
Once in a while someone like you
Will give everything for what you wanted to do.

Hey, hound dog man,
My old friend play it again.

You gave the world a whole lot of joy
Now that ain't bad for a country boy
I just knew you could not lose
The way you sang rock and roll and blues.
I still think about these things
And the memory that it brings

Hey, hound dog man,
My old friend,play it again.
Hey, hound dog man,
My old friend,play it again

Sometimes I think about James Dean,
Sammy Cooke and my teenage queen.
Doo ron, de ron, de ron,
Marilyn Monroe and hot rod fun.
I still think about these things
And the memory that it brings.

Hey, hound dog man,
My old friend,play it again.
Hey, hound dog man,
My old friend why did it end?
Hey, hound dog man,
My old friend, why did it end.

Boy From Tupelo - Emmylou Harris

You don't love me this I know
Don't need a bible to tell me so
I hung around a little too long
I was good but now I'm gone

Like the buffalo
That boy from Tupelo
Any way the wind can blow
That's where I'm gonna go
I'll be gone like a five and dime
It'll be the perfect crime
Just ask the boy from Tupelo
He's the king and he oughta know

The shoulder I've been leanin on
Is the coldest place I've ever known
There's nothin left for me round here
Looks like it's time to disapear

Like the buffalo
That boy from Tupelo
The old wall down in jericho
Maybelle on the radio
I'll be gone like the five and dime
It'll be the perfect crime
Just ask the boy from Tupelo
He's the king and he oughta know

You don't love me, this I know
Don't need a bible to tell me so
It's a shame and it's a sin
Everything I coulda been to you

Your last chance Texaco
Your sweetheart of the rodeo
A juliet to your romeo
The border you cross into Nexico
I'll never understand why or how
Oh but baby it's too late now
Just ask the boy from Tupelo
He's the king and he oughta know

Das Lied ist von 1998.
Ja, ich finde es auch etwas seltsam. Ich denke mal, manche Textpassagen sollen wohl die Gedanken des King wiedergeben.

Ich meine, ich hätte sie schon einmal an der Seite von Neil Young gehört...

[Rusty Cage]

Ich meine, ich hätte sie schon einmal an der Seite von Neil Young gehört...

Sie hat ja schon mit vielen Größen der Musikgeschichte zusammen gesungen. Mit Neil Young fällt mir allerding gerade nur ein Song von seinem 77er Album "American Stars 'n Bars" ein: Star Of Bethlehem.
Später hat Neil Young noch auf einem Stück des Ronstadt/Harris-Albums "Western Wall" Harmonys gesungen.

Wo sie offensichtlich überfordert war...man höre ihren Gesangsfehler auf One More Cup Of Coffee...

Alice Cooper

Disgraceland

I wanna tell you a story
happened long ago
About a redneck boy
Down from tupelo
I got the slick black hair
I played a rock guitar
I liked to shake my hips, man
Then i went too far
He ate his weight in country ham,
Killed on pills and woke in disgraceland
Dis-Grace-Land
Dis-Grace-Land
Dis-Grace-Land
I had a lot of girls
I had a lot of guns
When they found me dead
The whole world was stunned
Went to the pearly gates
Said, "I'm the hippest thing"
And Peter said "Well son,
We already got ourselves a king"
He lived on southern deep-fried spam,
Killed on pills and woke in disgraceland
Dis-Grace-Land
Dis-Grace-Land
Dis-Grace-Land
He finished his short life,
Sweaty and bloated and stoned
(A-Hey-Hey)
He ruled his domain and he died on the throne
No "Yes-Men", no colonel, he went...
...all alone...
(Hey, man, that looks like me down there on the floor)
I heard the devil cry
Real loud and clear
"You were the big man, there
You're just a sideman here
Well, I know your face
And I've heard your name
Looks like heaven's loss
Is gonna be my gain"
(I've got plans for you, man)
He ate his weight in country ham
Killed on pills and woke in disgraceland
Dis-Grace-Land
Dis-Grace-Land
Dis-Grace-Land
Dis-Grace-Land
Dis-Grace-Land
Well, I woke up, right here
In dis-grace-land
Thank ya. Thank ya very much
