Loved his little laugh he tried to hide after the girls screamed

Elvis was different and that's what made him so loved. He followed his heart and dreams and people followed Elvis. He definitely deserves the title King of rock and roll, even after all these decades.

Elvis was 21 years old when he performed on Ed Sullivan that evening. Two days later he would turn 22. What a presence.

The more I see of Elvis on these clips from the past, the more I am convinced he was a gentle soul who never took himself seriously, not half as seriously as the world did.

Elvis never took himself too seriously and was always playful with his image.
