caring thinking men
I think that a man should be caring.
hypnosis looks shows
I tried to look presentable for a show, but not for sexual attraction. It was strictly for show business.
hair clothes long
I would wear flamboyant clothes and long hair, and most singers at the time didn't.
gentleman
I'm very much a gentleman in what I do.
followers god-love i-love-god
I love God, and I'm a follower.
makeup attention stage
But when I went on the stage to do a show, I would put on makeup because I felt that it enhanced my act; it drew attention to what I was doing.
thinking rocks down-and
When you sit down and think about what rock 'n' roll music really is, then you have to change that question. Played up-tempo, you call it rock 'n' roll; at a regular tempo, you call it rhythm and blues.
And I don't get down on nobody else for doing whatever else they do. To each his own.
rocks rock-n-roll bottom
To me, true rock 'n' roll has a lot of bottom in it.
singing singers loud
But I was singing loud, and most singers weren't singing loud.
people kind knows
I let people know that it was all right to do the kinds of things I did.
love-is bouquets language
I decided to come back and teach goodness in this business. To teach love, because music is the universal language. We are God's bouquet, and through music we become one.
years given thousand
Elvis was God-given, there's no other explanation. A Messiah comes around every few thousand years, and Elvis was it this time.
men thinking having-strength
I don't think a woman has to act like a man to show that she has strength.
