Elvis Presley’s 30th anniversary
Posted by fcojavim under Advanced students, Songs
Where were you on 16th August 1977? Had you been born yet? I was 11 back then and I remember Elvis’ passing was all over the news, though it doesn’t mean a big deal if I say his death was covered by all the TV channels, because there were only two at the time… My teenage students must find this extremely hard to believe. Anyway, back to Elvis. I was only 11 when the ‘King of Rock’n'Roll died and I didn’t know very much about him then, but just a couple of years later a double LP album with his greatest hits fell into my hands thanks to my brother-in-law (yep, I’ve mentioned him before, I’ve so many things to thank him for). I loved all his songs, from his first rockabilly sound to his beautiful ballads.
