Elvis Presley was an icon in life and beyond an icon after his passing.  He paved the way to so many up and coming genres outside of rock and roll.  He inspired future success and contemporaries as well.  His persona on stage was risky to be so provocative but was pulled off given the "American dream" he landed.  The Elvis that generations knew will forever live on with actors posing as him in glitzy locales.

Read more on Wikipedia where you will find his career history and honorable history are quite extensive.

Recorded v. Live Sound - Same or Different

In this launch edition of Recorded v. Live Sound - Same or Different, I am considering a variety of songs from a variety of musicians (solo and bands) to see if a recording and a live performance are exact or tweaked for audience appreciation.

The song of choice today is "A View To A Kill."  I happen to think the recording and the live version are similar if not precisely the same.

What do you think?
