I read comic books, and I was the hero of the comic book. I saw movies, and I was the hero in the movie. So every dream I ever dreamed has come true a hundred times...I learned very early in life that: ‘Without a song, the day would never end; without a song, a man ain’t got a friend; without a song, the road would never bend - without a song.' So I keep singing a song. Goodnight. Thank you.” -From his acceptance speech for the 1970 Ten Outstanding Young Men of the Nation Award. Given at a ceremony on January 16, 1971.

Elvis Presley Enterprises, Inc. (EPE) is the business entity created by the Estate of Elvis Presley/The Elvis Presley Trust and is the modern-day evolution of the company identity under which the late Elvis Presley conducted business. EPE is a subsidiary of CKX, Inc., a publicly traded company listed on the Nasdaq National Market System (NMS) under the ticker symbol CKXE. Please visit EPE official website at http://elvis.com/ For your info. Elvis Presley generated an income of more than US$46 millions as a dead celebrity excl his 600,000 loyal fans' gate admissions collected every year's tours to Graceland in Memphis. Elvis Presley is a great talent & entertainer, he is unique and until today has no replacement. It is sad that many young Singaporeans are unfamiliarised with this great talent and great philanthropy. The Singapore Elvis Alt Country Meetup Group branded Elvis as 'old fashion'. Japan has more than 5,000 fans and also in Taiwan, Hongkong, India to name a few Asian countries. They have fans as young as 16 years old and so do in U.K., Europe and of course the USA. Our media and radio stations do not really promote the King's music, maybe only on his two anniversaries on 8th January and 16th August. He still retain his title today as the King of Rock n Roll. After 30 years of his passing his on-legacy still followed by millions loyal fans around the world. America's university has started a subject in literature teaching Elvis' legacy. Visit our website at www.elvis.meetup.com/169/about for updates on Elvis on-going legacy and the happenings in the Elvis World today.

I hope I am not too late to comment on the writer's updates on Elvis Presley's legacy. FYI it was his 30th Passing Anniversary and not 40th as what has published. I wonder the figure was given to him by the Singapore Elvis Alt Country Meetup Group or the impersonator. The former is not an official fan club registered by EPE and most likely they know little about his legacy. It's ashame they are using Elvis' name. Is there any publicity or evidence that they performed at Lau Pa Sat Market on 16 August 2007? Daniel Chan - Club President Singapore First Elvis Fan Club (SFEFC).
