Examples of Presley in a Sentence

1. Chris Volo:

   He loves Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, dennis loves every type of music, and I think that’s what really brought them together.

2. Mark Tratos:

   An Elvis Presley show is a performer essentially entertaining others by re-creating that person on stage.

3. Paul Anka:

   I spent time with Elvis Presley and watched Elvis Presley self-destruct, elvis Presley was a good guy, a Southern gentleman, a little nave, but Elvis Presley started to lose it — Elvis Presley got locked into that cocoon, the comfort of the posse, the aluminum foil on the windows and no sun. I told Elvis Presley, ‘ It’s not your kind of song, ’ but it meant a lot to Elvis Presley.

4. Linda Thompson:

   I absolutely adored him, and I still feel a connection to his soul because he was such a good human being and a charismatic figure. I got to know him very intimately as a human being, not just Elvis Presley the icon. I still feel that and there’s a raw spot in my heart when I see him or hear him sing. I have to stop what I’m doing and just remember the great love that we shared. That doesn’t go away. That stays in the heart forever.

5. Paul Anka:

   Sinatra had started to understand that he needed to do pop songs, which he hated, he was a purist of the standards. He hated Presley, and only liked me because I made money for the mob in Vegas. When my record company caught wind of it, they were pissed that I did n’t keep it for Paul Anka -LRB- left -RRB-. I said, ‘ Hey, I can write it, but I ’m not the guy to sing it. ’ It was for Frank, no one else.
