I was blessed to be born under a blue suede star which shone on me, so I could walk with musical legends that have sold and been on more number one hit records worldwide than any other musical acts in the history of popular music.
I walked them golden stairs, passed through those Graceland gates and partied ’till the early hours – it eas like being on a cloud floating in rock ‘n’ roll heaven. Dreams do come true do never stop believing anything is possible.
My journey wasn’t to the land of make-believe. I was awake, conscious and full of life – a path of highs and lows and there was no getting off this bus.
Let me take you by the hand, so you can too share my diaries of laughter and unbelievable times in the music and entertainment business. Welcome to my world of… Blue Suede Dreams.

Crying In The Chapel
Johnny Earle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The tears I shed were tears of joy
I know the meaning of contentment
I am happy with the Lord
Just a plain and simple chapel
Where all good people go to pray
I prayed the Lord that I'll grow stronger
I searched and I searched but I couldn't find
No way on earth to find peace of mind
Now I'm happy in the chapel
Where people are of one accord
Yes, we gather in the chapel
Just to sing and praise the Lord
You'll search and you'll search but you'll never find
No way on earth to find peace of mind
Take your troubles to the chapel
Get down on your knees and pray
Then your burdens will be lighter
And you'll surely find a way
