THE KING


Yesterday I went to Manchester Arena with 4 girl friends to see ELVIS IN CONCERT. He wasn't there in person of course but it was fantastic the way they did it using footage from his concerts in America, they were even able to have him walk the corridor in the Arena and on to the stage, it was incredible. There were plenty of "look alikes" in the audience but it seemed that the real one was on the stage. His backing singers were there in person "The Sweet Inspirations" and so were the "Jordanaires". I had the time of my life as he was from day one and still is my idol, the KING. When you hear his voice, his singing it was incredible especially as he didn't have all the electrical and computerised system that they have today. It was such a waste and so sad that he died so young.
