Happy Birthday Elvis

I just did a post about Elvis a few weeks ago however I just wanted to say happy birthday to The King of Rock and Roll.  I've always thought that there are only a few performers out there who truly elevated music to the level of a religious experience.  He was one of them.  Watch the video below and the trance like state he, as well as the others on stage enter.  It reminds me about how the monks in the Gregorian chant days used to sing long, complex chants with no written structure because they syncopated their heartbeats and acted as one, in a mantra like way (this has been deduced by viewing old carvings of monks singing and they had their hands on each other's neck arteries thereby picturing using heartbeats as a metronome).

Rock, Country, Gospel...no matter what he threw down The King nailed it every time.  Happy birthday E, still taking care of business beyond the grave.
