Elvis Presley ~ Charro

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

Truly a different type of song. I liked It's A Wonderful World which was considered for a Oscar Nom.

Meaning the arrangement is unusual, but cool. His vocal seem rough maybe he was smoking cigars at the time? His voice changed alot through the years which is kinda cool too.

I think he smoked something called cigarillos. I haven't seen the movie in a long time, but I think the character he was playing was smoking them too. The "Man With No Name" (Clint Eastwood) also had one in his mouth, although Clint said he didn't smoke anything in real life, and didn't like the cigarillos.

Yeah I've seen some pics of him with those smokes. I think that was briefly though. I read when he covered Hey Jude that he had a cold.

I like it.

"When Michael Jackson is just singing and dancing, you just think this is an astonishing talent. And he has had this astounding talent all his life, but we want him to be floored as well. We really don´t like the idea that he could have it all."

I guess. I've read that Elvis didn't like people smoking cigarettes around him.
