Apparently he ad-libbed on "Are You Lonesome Tonight?" a few times. Here, for example. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJKn...

The version of "Are You Lonesome Tonight?" when he cracks up, cracks me up. He changed "Do you gaze at your doorstep and wish I was there?" to "Do you gaze at your bald head and wish you had hair?" He lost it and supposedly Cissy Houston's BVs contributed, too. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nk0...

I only got into the Fabs after Keith Levene explained what made them special. He was a huge fan.

His mischievous sense humour comes across in the film as well...

It’s a great film. So much charisma. Been a fan my whole life, finally getting to visit Graceland this year!

My brother Steve was the Elvis fan in our house — I was all about The Fabs. But after Baz Luhrmann’s ‘EPIC: Elvis Presley In Concert’, I’m catching up. What a movie. Charisma, the X-factor, he had it in spades & funny too. And loved the banter with the band & The Sweet Inspirations ❤️ Barry Normal

Streets of London Ralph McTell. Got to be Regent Street for me. Loved hopping onto a 159 bus from Lisson Grove with my mates back in the 70’s & literally staying around there all day in & out the shops. sbx

The first one that springs to mind is the vocal version of Belfast by Orbital

South Bank is for the culture and the river btw, and Muswell Hill because I lived near there in my London days, each end of the Broadway for a while. Another song for you too... Do The Strand - Roxy Music

'Warwick Avenue' by Duffy.

'Heart as Big as Liverpool' - the Mighty Wah

Streets of Kenny by Shack and Penny Lane by the Fab Four.. Favorite road - Abbey Road of course.. Dan from Minneapolis

Tough one this... but here's a few Belfast - Boney M I don't want to go to Chelsea - Elvis Costello Sheffield Sex City - Pulp LDN - Lily Allen Naked in Pitsmoor - Richard Hawley Favourite London thoroughfare - the South Bank, and I'll always have a soft spot for Muswell Hill Broadway

Lower Marsh in its heyday when Eurostar still ran into Waterloo - so many quirky shops and eateries (Marie’s Thai Cafe and the Chunnel Bar). And how about @billybragg.bsky.social A12 Trunk Road to the Sea??

Afternoon GC it’s going to be “guns of Brixton” the clash “Warwick Avenue” Duffy “ going down to Liverpool” the bangles or “rainy night in Soho” the pogues Favourite street? Difficult one but think it’s Wardour Street because if I’m walking down it I’m about to buy some records or have a beer!

We’re back @ #BBCRadioLondon @ 1pm. We’re asking for songs with a UK place in the title & what’s your favourite road/street/avenue in London & why? For me it’s Portland Place & Wardour Street. That thrill of walking down both of them still endures today. 👂94.9, Digital bbc.co.uk/radiolondon

I’ve been so lucky to have met some amazing folk. Singer/songwriter Neil Sedaka was one. A tornado of talent & enthusiasm. What an amazing tunesmith he was. Such songs. On the way out after i/v’ing him for the radio - he squeezed my arm & said “Gary, I love your energy!” RIP to a true Pop titan 🙏.

Good afternoon! I'm Over You - Carmel Over All - Françoiz Breut Give Out But Don't Give Up - Primal Scream Out on the Floor - Dobie Gray The holiday to revisit would be my first trip to Bali... total sensory and cultural overload, magical!

Talking of TSC, how about Meeting Over Yonder, by The Impressions?

Afternoon, Gary. I'd like to suggest Lover, You Should Come Over by Jeff Buckley. Favourite holiday: I spent two months wandering around the South of France. I was only 17 and had originally planned to go for 2 weeks, but palled up with 2 Australian girls and they led me astray. 😏

Over and Out. Alkaline Trio. 50th birthday in Berlin. What a wonderful place music.youtube.com/watch?v=TaZR...

Movin' Out (Anthony's Song) Billy Joel..The holiday I could re live was my 40th birthday celebration in NY..my neck ache from looking up at the iconic buildings, being there for New Years Eve to o & watching the famous Ball Drop, SBx
