Broc 3 - Cover Me Impressed
Everybody’s Dressin’ Funny … Cover Me Impressed!

Love this short interview with Elvis before leaving on his tour of duty in Germany. He exhibits such boyish innocence and humility.

September 22, 1958:

Everybody’s Dressin’ Funny … Cover Me Impressed!

The one thing that I will always remember regarding this beautiful song took place in early 1986. Pete and I went to see The Band at some fairground in Miami. Phenomenal show. The show ended with Richard Manuel doing vocals on I Shall Be Released. A few days later, after their next show in Winter Park, Richard Manuel hung himself. Can’t help but believe that Richard new what he was about to do as he sang it.
