   Here's a little video I came across. Look at the clothing and hair styles.

   Hey! I get to say it first.

   Thank ya very much. Thank yoooo....

   Actually, though I'm not offended, don't really like the CGing of Martina in here. Prefer the way they did it with Natalie and Nat King Cole with Unforgettable. This way kinda seems to me like the new artist is co-opting a great moment. Sometimes as a tribute, but (shocking, I know) sometimes for profit. This one seems a legit tribute. That said, I think this is a fine performance by Martina. Don't hate her, but not a big fan. Great voice, but she's like Whitney Houston. Oversings everything. A great voice doesn't overcome a lack of real feeling in the song. Here, she gets it. The funny thing is she's singing it straight, while Elvis is hamming it up a little. But, that was the tone of that segment. For that reason, she might do it slightly better, but doesn't hold a candle to the original. Athough, I definitely don't miss the famous "woo - ooo - ooo - ooo - ooo"s on the record. They're fun, but not essential.

   Saw the original special as an 11 yr. old, and find many of those "mod" women's fashions attractive. Gotta admit, Martina's a looker in any era!

   That's really taken me back and now I'm all nostalgic for my youth. I even fancy watching an Elvis movie, but I don't have any. :(

   Thanks Robert! You an Angel got me "itchin' like a man on a fuzzy tree". My favorite from the show, after an intro., is "That's All Right Mama". Elvis back to his roots. Best example of why he became the "King".

   Shame Elvis never did a Christmas special. That would've been a MEGA-seller.
