I am not a huge Elvis fan, but I could listen to "Suspicious Minds" over and over again. And, I am partial to "Return to Sender" for some reason. My next door neighbor's son, who is about 30 now (moved several years ago) was a huge Elvis fan.

I like many singers, but I don't go GAGA over them... I have to say I like the Elvis tune better, but only because I'm not a big country fan. I've never heard any of these songs so thanks for the introduction~!

There was an album a few years ago called "Rhythm, Country and Blues" where they paired a country singer with an R&B singer. Conway was on it with Sam Moore (of Sam & Dave) doing a cover of "A Rainy Night In Georgia." It's just beautiful, and Conway and Sam had a great time doing it. Not long after they recorded it, Conway died.

I didn't know Elvis influenced Conway, but definitely from the way Conway sings! I'll always be a big fan of classic country and Conway :) - Julie (I had to wrench this comment spot from Tom) xFr.

Still, I think I like his sound over the Conway Twitty original in the battle. However, Conway asks the most important question of all in the final offering.

I did not realize that Elvis had a strong influence on Conway. <br /><br />I think I'll vote for <b>Elvis</b> as my favorite artist in your first BoTB. Are you joining the Stephen's BoTBers line-up?<br /><br />You asked about special Elvis memories. I can't say that I have one but I loved watching his old movies when I was a kid. They didn't seem to run often on TV so when I found one I was a happy girl. :)<br /><br />Thanks for hitting the dance floor with the 4M gang. Have a groovy week, my friend!Cathy Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01738079671642137018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2536122764434872338.post-23492249469508892542018-08-06T02:41:25.896-04:002018-08-06T02:41:25.896-04:00Love it!
