貓王去世35週年紀念演唱會週三晚在孟婓斯FedEx廣場舉行,其中當然少不了當紅時貓王的經典演唱畫面搭配演出,他的前妻Priscilla與女兒Lisa Marie也都出現在錄影中。曾長期擔任貓王鼓手的DJ Fontana,吉它手James Burton與鋼琴伴奏Glen Hardin都應邀參與。
鄉村歌曲名人堂也舉辦很多活動配合這個值得紀念的日子。
Priscilla與女兒Lisa Marie Presley則上了電視節目。
事實上一連串的展覽、活動、發表會與促銷早就安排好了,七月時有一本歌迷珍藏彙編的書I Am an Elvis Fan就相當暢銷,還有一套貓王1972年演唱會記事則將於十月底在紐約麥迪遜花園廣場公開發行。
貓王Elvis Presley(1935-1977)是歷年暢銷歌星排行榜第1名的超級巨星,他在排行榜上最後一首冠軍曲是1969年的Suspicious Mind。
Suspicious Mind

We're caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much baby
Why can't you see
What you're doin' to me
When you don't believe a word I say?
We can't go on together
With suspicious minds (Suspicious minds)
And we can't build our dreams
On suspicious minds

So, if an old friend I know
Drops by to say hello
Would I still see suspicion in your eyes?
Here we go again
Askin' where I've been
You can't see these tears are real
I'm cryin' (Yes, I'm cryin')
We can't go on together
With suspicious minds (Suspicious minds)
And we can't build our dreams
On suspicious minds
Oh let our love survive
Ah dry the tears from your eyes
Let's don't let a good thing die

When honey, you know
I've never lied to you
Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm
Yeah, yeah
We're caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much baby
Why can't you see
What you're doin' to me
When you don't believe a word I say?
Now don't you know I'm
Caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much baby
