Dear Claudia,I'm waiting for the end.
Can't stop thinking.
Elvis is in the basement.
And he belongs in Memphis.
He haunts me....

Their journey is replete with shocking revelations, fascinating people, a sharing of secrets and finally, blossoming hope and love.
Leanna Ellis tells a unique and quirky tale that is fun, captivating and inspiring. Claudia, Rae and Ivy represent woman across the generations and their interaction, though not without difficulties, engagingly highlights the importance of female relationships. Leanna is adept at creating poignant and tender scenes without sentimentality as the characters battle with grief, fear, rejection, faith and love. Seamlessly woven throughout the story are fascinating insights into Elvis' life, love lost and rediscovered and burgeoning hope. If you are looking fsomething a little different from the main fare and a better than average read, Elvis Takes a Back Seat is is the real deal!

I won't be much help on this one as I didn't know who Elvis was until his death! I was most embarrassed at school when I said, "Elvis who?"!

Um, well I was never allowed to listen to Elvis, but I did learn a song on piano once. I THINK it was called "Love Me Tender"?
Anyway, do I still qualify?

I would have to say "Hawaiian Wedding Song" I saw them do the hulu to this in Hawaii but is a great song its from Blue Hawaii.
Please enter me.
I grew up on some of his movies and remember when he died i was in year 10 i think it was the same year The then Pope died.
"Can't help falling in love with you" is one of my favourite Elvis songs. I can't remember his movies that well. I watched so many as a midday movie watching teenager that they all blend in to one another.
That's an "enter me" please. :)

I'm going to attempt to enter. However I think I'm one step worse than you Rel. I knew who Elvis was, but I don't like his movies and I'm not that thrilled by his music! Terrible aren't I?!
I like some of the gospel songs he sang, like Amazing Grace and How Great Thou art. Please enter me in.
ps. I have a 16 yr old niece who adores Elvis!
We really missed out Rel. Love Me Tender I think is one of my favs. Sadly, Aimee knows more of his songs than me. Thanks Rel
I never really liked any of his movies, always thought they were abit corny but I do like alot of his songs. I also liked his gospel songs but I think my favourite is wooden heart. I don;t really krow the words but love the catchy tune. wendyb
I really loved Elvis and was so sad when he died.Love me tender ,is certainly my favourite song and though his movies were not that good I still loved watching them because he was so gorgeous in them.
I've not been a huge Elvis fan, but who cannot know "Blue Suede Shoes"? It's such a catchy tune!
I remember being a pre-teen and watching some of his beach movies and thinking he was very much a dish :).

Oh wow I am not really an Elvis fan either. I remember the day he died. I was about five and was so interested that this teenage girl I knew was just bawling her eyes out. I thought he must have been someone famous.
