Thank you for this, SimPattyK. I watched the 'Elvis Presley Dances' video, it was very enjoyable! Made me wanna dance, lol.
[...]Until the hoax, I was only aware of the existence of Elvis, the artist, the KING of Rock'n Roll. I've been a fan since my adolescence, but I guess not such a big fan to want to know more about him as a person. I was like mesmerized by his voice, looks, talent and music, which totally made me ignore that maybe behind the image , there was totally different man, interesting man, with such a complex dynamic, incredible personality!I am forever grateful to Michael, for making me re-discover Elvis the way I did , through his death-hoax! lol Who would have thought!

YT-user (LiveInLakech) comment:Among Elvis most loved authors is Kahil Gibran, most likely best-known for his work entitled THE PROPHET, a book of 26 poetic essays, which has been translated into over 20 languages. The Prophet, who has lived in a foreign city 12 years, is about to board a ship that will take him home. He is stopped by a group of people, whom he teaches the mysteries of life.Those who knew him well say that Elvis was a deeply religious man and an avid reader who spent hours reading spiritual books, meditating and praying to find the true meaning of life. This spiritual side of Elvis is an often overlooked.It has been documented that throughout his life Elvis read over 1000 different books, encompassing a wide range of subjects related to philosophy, spiritual teachings and esoteric arts."My father's library of spiritual books is amazing. I've gone through these books. They're covered with his notes. He wrote on the top of the page, on the bottom of the page, in the margins - everywhere. You can hear him thinking when you read those notes" ~Lisa-Mary Presley"Mysticism spoke directly to Elvis' fundamental desire to know what life was about, and thus it emerged naturally from the very marrow of his being. Of all the books, it was 'The Impersonal Life', by Joseph Benner, a Western mystic who wrote inspirationally about the divine consciousness in man, which was to become Elvis' favorite book, the one he continually went back to over the years. The very small, pocket-sized volume was a brilliant awakening for him. The Impersonal Life would become his constant companion and a gift he would share with hundreds of others he met." ~Larry Geller
