Honestly, I think I`ve stretched a talent which is so thin it`s almost transparent over a quite unbelievable term of years.

The things Elvis has done during his career and the things he has contributed and created are really something very important to the music business.

Unless we make Christmas an occasion to share our blessings, all the snow in Alaska won't make it 'white'.

I'm proud to acknowledge my debt to the 'Reverend Satchelmouth' ... He is the beginning and the end of music in America

That was a great game of golf, fellers.
