@@DJGerryfromStarlightMusic Hey Man, I know this outta the blue clear sky, but I had it on my mind, One of Elvis`s relentless, constant internal and mental struggles that was like a cancer in his own mind, was this incredibly deep, deep devotion to his fans and secondly though no less important, his almost compulsive feeling of guilt over all of his accolades and wealth, all the gifts that he was receiving and he was doin a Kristofferson I guess? Why Me? He never felt deserving, ELVIS, always felt that he owed us something because of his appreciation and all the admiration. He didnt owe us a damn thing in my estimation, however you just could not get him to embrace that belief. Its tough, when an obsession or whatever your diagnosis is, has got ya and it just flat wont let go. He owed us? Unbelievable, and the bad side of irony

It's because Elvis had the talent to sing like Johnny, but Johnny didn't have the talent to sing like Elvis, very few could

I thought Johnny was hilarious! Elvis provided a lot of opportunities to be teased! Johnny pretty much just stood and sang, I think; so that's what Elvis did! Maybe he could have done, "A Boy Named Sue", for a laugh.
Would have loved to have seen them do this together❣🤠😎

@@purpleslog I guess my attempt to underplay the magnitude of Carl Perkins' importance in the Million Dollar Quartet must have gone undetected. Sort of like when the media used to refer to the Beatles as 4 young lads from liverpool. Btw, didn't the Beatles and Elvis compose "Blue Suede Shoes"? :-o.

They were both ridiculously talented at mimicking sounds, but what is not talked about enough is how very funny both Elvis and Johnny Cash were. I realized long ago that much of their allure was in the fact that they never took themselves too seriously, despite their fanatical fans. Most of the time, they were laughing at the implausibility of their reality. The comedic talent they were given was just overkill for two guys with such musical talent.

Back when entertainers were not only great but had a great sense of comedic timing and didnt get bent over shows the love they had for one another Johnny and elvis were like brothers and thats rare to find that kinda respect between entertainers today just doesn't exist loved both as a kid growing up in the seventies up until the passing of Johnny and of course elvis in 77 still listen to both and now im 51 music will never get any better than these two musicians today really dont have a true meaningful beginning its all abstract and im made it on Americas got talent and i got signed on a contract but they dont last long these guys lasted their whole lives whenever Johnny would be on a Christmas special or any music special hewas the one that everyone tuned in to see

I grew up in Portland, OR, and listened to a radio station (KVAN) in nearby Vancouver, WA. It was common to hear Elvis Presly's "I don't Care if the Sun Don't Shine and Johnny Cash'es "Folsum Prison Blues" within 15 minutes of each other.
