Elvis: one man, a thousand voices. 🎙
Have you ever paid attention to how much Elvis’ voice changes over the years? 🤓
“Elvis’s voice changed almost on a yearly basis, and I’m not sure anyone has ever come up with the real reason why this was. If we listen to Sinatra, we can say, ‘that’s the 50s,’ or ‘that’s the 70s.’ With Elvis, we can say, ‘that’s 1961’ or ‘that’s 1976’.
Elvis’s voice of 1953 doesn’t sound much like the voice of 1956 (compare the ballad singing, for example). 1960 doesn’t sound much like 1956. And those sweet vocals of the early 1960s really take hold in late 1960s (“His Hand in Mine”, “Wild in the Country” sessions). Those sweet vocals start to disappear in 1963.
By 1965, we have a weird thick, almost unhealthy sounding vocal. That’s gone by 1966, where we get a fuller, darker, deeper sound. The TV show from 1968 through the live recordings of 1960 bring us the edgier, raw sound. That starts to disappear as early as February 1970, and the ‘70s’ voice starts to appear as the year carries on.
1971 brings a weaker sound with more vibrato, but that’s gone by the November 1971 tour. 1972 has Elvis in fuller voice, with powerful vocals - much better than the year before. ‘Aloha’ returns us to the weaker voice heard in 1972, but by the end of 1973 he’s in better voice again - but still not sounding the same as 1972.
1974 sees him with more power again, as does most of 1975. 1976 is so full of ups and downs that you can almost pinpoint the tour, let alone the year. October 1976 finds him in much better voice than February or June, for example. […]
His voice matures and changes when in the army, and again between 1965 and 1966 - both times when we know he was making much music at home and recording himself on his own equipment there. He was trying out new material, new styles, and even trying to expand his range.” (Steve Hoffman)

hi elvis fan friends. i know the whole ‘what in god’s name is going on at graceland re: security and what not’ thing has been weighing on a lot of us.
my background is in politics and having done a lot of ‘hi i’m not happy’ emails over the years i made a template for one y’all could send to epe/graceland. i encourage tweaking it a little to make it sound like yourself and not a script/bot. but i know it can be hard to know where to start with stuff like this so i hope this template is helpful!
i was trying to find an email address and couldn’t, so i think the contact form on the website is probably the best way to send something like this? (hit general questions as the category). if anyone knows of an actual email lmk i’ll add it to this post.
