Re: Sweet Angeline
I like to write this again and I completely agree with Doc regarding the New York press conference: Elvis is at his best, charming, handsome, healthy, no slurring words at all. Like I sad before, just compare this press conference with the November 20 1972 one. I was shocked when I saw this one for the first time. Elvis clearly on that day was on downers (maybe Demerol).

Re: Sweet Angeline
Maybe not LPs but there were still plenty of number one singles into the 80's. Whatever Gets You Through The Night is one of John's best solo efforts and I dont think Starting Over became a hit because he was killed. its a good song, with a nod to Elvis' vocal style in parts.Juan Luis wrote:Bunch of crap. McCartney hasn't had a masterpiece since 1973's Band On The Run" unless you count 1982's Tug of War". My point? Masterpieces aren't cranked out on every corner. Seven years is not a long time unless you are 18 years old! How about Lennon? After "Imagine" what? "Double Fantasy"? No. Just so happened he became a martyr shortly after that release. George Harrison? After "All Things Must Pass"... What? All things must pass indeed....You have an obsession with drugs.

Elvis was all those things at the press conference and high as well. Spend some time with the Prince DVD press conference and focus on his eyes. I point August 72 as the point of no return for Elvis and his drug abuse-no road home. Elvis was high in June 72 but he was still taking drugs--soon after the drugs took him.

What we learn is that after forty years the force is strong with the drug deny-ers. Because massive quantities of drugs spur creativity according to you, so i ask again where are the masterpieces that were created by Elvis' superhuman drug intake. Juan is saying masterpieces dont just come along but you assert drugs foster creativity-so which is it and please explain why he never topped American? Color me confused.

Elvis, most people have a song that is sort of special to them. Do you have a favorite song? My favorite song is a song called “Padre.”

Not really plenty in most cases Whatever Gets You Through the Night was Lennon's ONLY solo #1 single prior to his death, whereas George Harrison had the grand total of 3 during the whole of the 1970s and 1980s.

Re: Sweet Angeline
Exactly. BTW.. Elvis turned out quite a few good to great tracks after 1970, IMO. Solo Beatles or any act Springsteen, Billy Joel, Elton John etc.. they have gone for decades without MASTERPIECES. Elvis in only seven years did mighty, mighty good.Lonely Summer wrote:But are they MASTERPIECES? Most of us agree that Elvis turned out a few GOOD tracks after 1970.

Re: Sweet Angeline
In his review of Raised On Rock, Peter Verbruggen wrote this about the album and Sweet Angeline:
" (...) "I Miss You” and “Girl of Mine” show us once again the real Elvis: never having any trouble to find the right notes, and adding that extra something to the song that makes you just want to listen, instead of sing along. Undisputable highlight on the album is the very sincere “For Ol' Times Sake” (...) Elvis puts down a very close-to-the-original version, not afraid to put his feelings in the song. A true masterpiece that takes away the last shred of doubt. (...)
The tender ballad “Sweet Angeline” moves along the same line. More so than being the co-founder of Rock 'n' Roll, Elvis was the King of Ballads. Although “Sweet Angeline” floats on acoustic guitar, it deserves a spot right next to the great piano-songs that millions of fans love dearly, such as “It's still Here” and “I'll take you Home Kathleen”. Most fans agree that his piano-songs, as released on the Fool album, are part of the best music Elvis ever made. Well, if they are so good, why should one call “Angeline” a mediocre song as some reviewers do?"

Re: Sweet Angeline
I dont know, thats all a matter of opinion is it not. To some those singles are I guess. Im sure there are people who think none are and also no Elvis 70's tracks are masterpieces. Good tracks? Sure? But masterpiece is a strong word. As good as Burning Love is, is it a masterpiece in the same vein as Suspicious Minds or In The Ghetto? A lot of people even see it as goofy with the Hunka Hunka tag line which also has been spoofed on over the years and has been picked up on by ETAs. Elvis cut some good stuff in the 70's, and a lot of mediocre to bad stuff. I dont see any masterpieces though.Lonely Summer wrote:But are they MASTERPIECES?

No one has said anything different. But Elvis covering a nondescript, 1971 Arnold, Morrow & Martin B-side is hardly scaling the heights of greatness.Juan Luis wrote:Songs released by their composers do not always chart well, and have nothing to do with quality of the song. Mark James' well produced Suspicious Minds, and Moody Blue come to mind. There's plenty more examples. "Sweet Angeline" is an excellent song, IMO.

In your opinion. BTW..I had deleted. Nevertheless do not agree. A very pretty song. "Can't Smile Without You" was a B-side.

Re: Sweet Angeline
So, to you, Elvis covering a nondescript, 1971 Arnold, Morrow & Martin B-side IS scaling the heights of greatness. Got it.Juan Luis wrote:In your opinion. BTW..I had deleted. Nevertheless do not agree. A very pretty song.drjohncarpenter wrote:No one has said anything different. But Elvis covering a nondescript, 1971 Arnold, Morrow & Martin B-side is hardly scaling the heights of greatness.Juan Luis wrote:Songs released by their composers do not always chart well, and have nothing to do with quality of the song. Mark James' well produced Suspicious Minds, and Moody Blue come to mind. There's plenty more examples. "Sweet Angeline" is an excellent song, IMO.

Nondescript is your incorrect assertion. Know the difference between objective and subjective? Study up on it. It will make your postings grand.drjohncarpenter wrote:So, to you, Elvis covering a nondescript, 1971 Arnold, Morrow & Martin B-side IS scaling the heights of greatness.

Re: Sweet Angeline
No need to be rude. Nondescript is an apt description of the song "Sweet Angeline." But that doesn't mean you cannot love it that much more.Juan Luis wrote:Nondescript is your incorrect assertion.

Re: Sweet Angeline
When frick and frack are wrong on substance they turn to insults and sophmoric advice. In their world everything is subjective. I believe Padre is a great performance therefore it must be.
