Sus últimos años-parte 8-
Los años 70's serían los años en los que Elvis se convertiría de gran ídolo a mito musical. En julio de 1972 se divorcia de Priscilla, dejándolo en un profundo estado de depresión del que nunca se recobraría.
En 1973 realizaría el primer concierto televisado vía satélite de la historia, desde el paradisíaco Hawaii conocido como Aloha From Hawaii, y visto por un número estimado de 1500 millones de personas.
También es en ésta década en donde los excesos en sus hábitos alimenticios y su dependencia a las drogas, deterioran drásticamente su salud, tanto física como mental. En repetidas ocasiones es ingresado en el hospital. En 1973, Priscila Presley presenta la demanda de divorcio y consigue la tutela de su hija. Su ex-mujer declaró que no podía seguir en el ambiente de soledad, insastifacción, infidelidades que dejaba la estela de fama que rodeaba a su marido y culpó directamente al "coronel" Tom Parker por sus ansias de dinero y de llevar a Elvis por rumbos de decadencia .
Para 1976-1977 Elvis dista mucho del muchacho vigoroso y lleno de energía que conquisto al mundo, convirtiéndose en una imagen burda, sobrepasado en peso y con dificultades para cantar y memorizar la letra de las canciones. Su último concierto lo daría el 26 de Junio de 1977 en Indianapolis, en el Idiana’s Market Square Arena.
En la madrugada del 16 de agosto, Elvis regresa a su mansión Graceland después de una consulta dental, durante la mañana se encarga de revisar detalles de su próxima gira y descansa con su familia y amigos. Debe de tomar un vuelo para Portland esa misma noche para seguir con la gira, y alrededor de las 7 am, se retira a su habitación para dormir. Alrededor del medio día, Elvis es encontrado inconsciente en el baño de su habitación, es trasladado urgentemente al hospital Baptist Memorial en Memphis, y poco tiempo después es declarado muerto.
Vuelta a los escenarios-parte 7
El 1 de mayo de 1967 Presley se casó con Priscilla Ann-Beaulieau (conocida como Priscilla Presley), con la que tuvo un año después a su hija Lisa Marie Presley. En 1968, volvió al top de los hits parades norteamericanos después de su exitoso 1968 Comeback Special para la televisión. Al año siguiente reafirmó su vuelta a los conciertos en directo en el Hotel Internacional de Las Vegas, Nevada. En ese mismo año, nace su única hija, Lisa Marie Presley.
El 21 de diciembre de 1970, Elvis visitó al Presidente Richard Nixon en la Casa Blanca donde -después de un intercambio de regalos- charlaron sobre la influencia de las drogas en la juventud.
Elvis Presley-Follow That Dream
Elvis Presley-Follow That Dream
Written by Fred Wise and Ben Weisman. It was recorded July 5, 1961 at RCA's Nashville studios. It was featured in the 1962 film Follow That Dream. It was on the Follow That Dream LP and C'mon Everybody LP.
Follow that dream, I gotta follow that dream
Keep a-movin, move along, keep a moving
I've got to follow that dream wherever that dream may lead
I've got to follow that dream to find the love I need
When your heart gets restless, time to move along
When your heart gets weary, time to sing a song
But when a dream is calling you,
There's just one thing that you can do
Well, you gotta follow that dream wherever that dream may lead
You gotta follow that dream to find the love you need
Keep a-movin, move along, keep a moving
Got to find me someone whose heart is free
Someone to look for my dream with me
And when I find her I may find out
Just what my dreams are all about
I've got to follow that dream wherever that dream may lead
I've got to follow that dream to find the love I need
I've got to follow that dream wherever that dream may lead
I've got to follow that dream to find the love I need
Keep a-movin, move along
Keep a-movin, move along
Keep a-movin, move along

Elvis Are You Lonesome Tonight
Video of Elvis singing Are you Lonesome Tonight?
In the middle he babbles probably due to the medication he was on.

A very old friend came by today
'Cause he was telling everyone in town
Of the love that he just found
And Marie's the name of his latest flame
He talked and talked and I heard him say
That she had the longest blackest hair
The prettiest green eyes anywhere
And Marie's the name of his latest flame
Though I smiled the tears inside were a-burning
I wished him luck and then he said goodbye
He was gone but still his words kept returning
What else was there for me to do but cry
Would you believe that yesterday
This girl was in my arms and swore to me
She'd be mine eternally
And Marie's the name of his latest flame
Though I smiled the tears inside were a-burning
I wished him luck and then he said goodbye
He was gone but still his words kept returning
What else was there for me to do but cry
Would you believe that yesterday
This girl was in my arms and swore to me
She'd be mine eternally
And Marie's the name of his latest flame
Yeah Marie's the name of his latest flame
Oh Marie's the name of his latest flame.

Suspicios Minds
We're caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much baby
Why can't you see
What you're doing to me
When you don't believe a word I say?
We can't go on together
With suspicious minds
And we can't build our dreams
On suspicious minds
So, if an old friend I know
Drops by to say hello
Would I still see suspicion in your eyes?
Here we go again
Asking where I've been
You can't see these tears are real
I'm crying
We can't go on together
With suspicious minds
And be can't build our dreams
On suspicious minds
Oh let our love survive
Or dry the tears from your eyes
Let's don't let a good thing die
When honey, you know
I've never lied to you
Mmm yeah, yeah
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much baby
Why can't you see
What you're doing to me
When you don't believe a word I say?
We can't go on together
With suspicious minds
And we can't build our dreams
On suspicious minds
So, if an old friend I know
Drops by to say hello
Would I still see suspicion in your eyes?
Here we go again
Asking where I've been
You can't see these tears are real
I'm crying
We can't go on together
With suspicious minds
And be can't build our dreams
On suspicious minds
Oh let our love survive
Or dry the tears from your eyes
Let's don't let a good thing die
When honey, you know
I've never lied to you
Mmm yeah, yeah
