Well as the title says, its been 30 years since hes been gone, he was surely a great singer, i know this threads more aimed at the older people on pool, however i thought it would of been nice to make this for him, for members to pay respect and share feelings emotions etc

R.I.P

He was a fat racist that sang and danced! I just feel there's much more to this world than a fat racist who sang and danced!

And The Beatles made rock what it is today!

My fave 50/60s legend is Lil Richard!

love him or loathe him he played to audiences of stadium capacity in his day, thats why he never played in the UK because the biggest place was the paladium and couldnt house his road crew.

but he was a fat racist drug using pie eating greaser

so he did summat right, a billion chinese impersonators cant be wrong lol

When was Elvis Racist?

Theres a great urban myth about it to be sure, but all you have to do is even simply watch a few shows or even films to make you wonder where it came from.

He was simply the complete opposite. He brought equality and acceptance to what was up until then considered "black music", thus helping to pave the way for interracial concerts etc, which had been unheard of at the time.

Remembr this is a time where the two headlines of a newspaper brand the late Bernard Manning as a racist, yet applaud Salman Rushdie as a knight of the realm.

Sad. But sorry, off topic.

If you are dead by now - RIP King
