Re: RIP the king
Is it true that he has still been in the list of 'Top Ten Money Earning Musical Acts' (or something like that) every year since his death?

It was an impossible decsision to choose a song to start the thread as i have so many faves but "in the ghetto" just reminds me of the day he passed as my mum played his songs all day and this one stuck in my head from that day.

He died on the husband's birthday. He's not been forgiven yet.

Must have been one of the world's top live performers in the mid 70's! Fantastic backing musicians too! Ron Tutt for one.........
