ELVIS PRESLEY: 21 DE JUNHO DE 1977, O ÚLTIMO SHOW



21 de junho de 1977: O último show de Elvis

Elvis Presley


"Eu amei, eu ri e chorei. Eu tive minhas faltas, minha parte de perder. E agora que as lágrimas cessaram, eu acho isso tudo tão divertido. Pensar eu fiz tudo aquilo... Eu fiz do meu jeito". Elvis Presley


Na noite do dia 21 de junho de 1977, Elvis Presley subiria ao palco pela última vez. A apresentação ao vivo, em que tocou piano para milhares de espectadores, aconteceu no recém inaugurado Rushmore Plaza Civic Center, em Los Angeles, Califórnia.
Ingresso do último show de Elvis Presley
My Way
And now the end is near
So I face the final curtain
My friend, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
I've traveled each and every highway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way
Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exception
I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
Oh, and more, much more than this
I did it my way
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall
And did it my way
I've loved, I've laughed and cried
I've had my fails, my share of losing
And now as tears subside
I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that
And may I say, not in a shy way
Oh, no, no not me
I did it my way
For what is a man, what has he got
If not himself, then he has not
To say the words he truly feels
And not the words he would reveal
The record shows I took the blows
And did it my way
The record shows I took the blows
And did it my way
