Rest in Peace, Elvis ♛ Jan. 8, 1935 – Aug. 16, 1977.

I like to entertain people. That’s why I pick all my records and try to pick the best songs possible. I try to do the best I can in the movies, with the experience that I’ve gotten, and everything. But I look at myself strictly as a human being who’s, like I said, has been very lucky, but whose life…I have blood running through my veins…and can be snuffed out in just a matter of seconds, and not as anything supernatural or better than any other human being. – Elvis.
