Good mid-late afternoon my Brothers and Sisters!
It was mentioned to me by one RP Member that He liked the songs of ELvis Presley... I grew up in the Elvis Presley environment and thoroughly enjoyed his music...mostly rock and roll, but as He aged his music and interest melded into more Gospel music and the song I picked out is one of his best... Although not a live performance, it is a song that will reach the inner soul of your being... Many people have sung this song and many groups as well..., including Frank Sinatra, the Righteous Brothers and many others... Here is a little background for those who were not a part of that era and really do not know much of anything about Elvis Aaron Presley...
"Elvis Aaron Presley[a] (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977), also known mononymously as Elvis, was an American singer, musician, and actor. Regarded as one of the most significant cultural icons of the 20th century, he is often referred to as the "King of Rock and Roll" or simply "the King".
Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi, and relocated to Memphis, Tennessee, with his family when he was 13 years old. His music career began there in 1954, recording at Sun Records with producer Sam Phillips, who wanted to bring the sound of African-American music to a wider audience. Presley on rhythm acoustic guitar was accompanied by lead guitarist Scotty Moore and bassist Bill Black, Presley was a pioneer of rockabilly, an uptempo, backbeat-driven fusion of country music and rhythm and blues. In 1955, drummer D. J. Fontana joined to complete the lineup of Presley's classic quartet and RCA Victor acquired his contract in a deal arranged by Colonel Tom Parker, who would manage him for more than two decades. Presley's first RCA single, "Heartbreak Hotel", was released in January 1956 and became a number-one hit in the United States. With a series of successful network television appearances and chart-topping records, he became the leading figure of the newly popular sound of rock and roll. His energized interpretations of songs and sexually provocative performance style, combined with a singularly potent mix of influences across color lines during a transformative era in race relations, made him enormously popular—and controversial.
In November 1956, Presley made his film debut in Love Me Tender. Drafted into military service in 1958, Presley relaunched his recording career two years later with some of his most commercially successful work. He held few concerts however, and guided by Parker, proceeded to devote much of the 1960s to making Hollywood films and soundtrack albums, most of them critically derided. In 1968, following a seven-year break from live performances, he returned to the stage in the acclaimed television comeback special Elvis, which led to an extended Las Vegas concert residency and a string of highly profitable tours. In 1973, Presley gave the first concert by a solo artist to be broadcast around the world, Aloha from Hawaii. Years of prescription drug abuse severely compromised his health, and he died suddenly in 1977 at his Graceland estate at the age of 42." Wikipedia
Enjoy!

Thank you, my friend Sgt (Join to see) for posting the music video of Elvis Presley performing a cover of Oscar Hammerstein II / Richard Rodgers's wonderful song "You' ll Never Walk Alone"
You'll Never Walk Alone written by Oscar Hammerstein II / Richard Rodgers
Lyrics
"When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of a storm
There's a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark
Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone
Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone"
Background
"“When you walk through a storm/Hold your head up high/And don't be afraid of the dark/At the end of a storm/There's a golden sky/And the sweet silver song of a lark”. These lyrics, from the song You’ll Never Walk Alone, were composed in 1945 and acted as a comfort to families suffering during the Second World War. The song ends “walk on with hope in your heart and you'll never walk alone”.
Initially, this song was composed (by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II) for the American musical Carousel. The musical was later adapted into a film, in 1956. The song appears when the heroine of the musical, Julie Jordan, learns of her husband’s suicide."

The History of the Football Anthem "You’ll Never Walk Alone"
The songs sung by fans in football stadiums can often seem a little trivial, repetitive and thoughtless. This is not the case with the anthem 'You’ll Never Walk Alone', a hymn that has tangible links to footballing history.
