Elvis Tops Earnings Poll
Highest Earning Dead Celeb


Type: General

Date Posted: Wed, 29/10/2008 - 15:47



Artist Links: Elvis Presley buy from: 
 

Elvis Presley is still topping the charts more than 30 years after his death, with the rock 'n' roll legend coming top in a list of the highest earning dead celebrities.

The list was compiled by American company Forbes, and compiles the earnings of dead celebrities. Astonishingly, despite (or perhaps because of) his death Elvis Presley earned $52 million last year - more than $10 million more than Madonna. His well handled estate launched a number of ventures last year including the Elvis Sirius Satellite Radio show and expansions on the Graceland museum.

Elvis Presley has topped the list for the past six out of seven years. Other musicians on the list include soul legend Marvin Gaye with $3.5 million and the John Lennon estate with more than $9 million. The bulk of Lennon's estate was given to anti-war


Wow you actually think how much an artist grosses is a reliable measure of the quality of the music? Doesn't surprise me.

Weird coincidence, my wife just bought her Dad the DVD of the comeback concert the other day. Elvis was awesome,  one of the greatest voices ever.

Your telling me to get a life? Like I don't know about otis blackwell (the black man)--(what does his color have anything to do with it).
   Ford built the car yet ford never raced it..................get my point?
Elvis was the shit, nobody comes close to what he did for music and how he opened the door for the black mans music. Elvis put a face on it and main streamed the shit out of it and brought it to the table for everybody to hear it, sorry to break it to ya but without Elvis. The black mans music would have been a lot longer getting discovered.
   By the way Elvis was the first to admit his musics origins, he was very respectful of that.

Dude...you are more retarded than I thought... First of all BLACK is NOT a color when it is being used to designate a race. I don't see and have NEVER seen a BLACK person or people. Everyone on this planet are various shades of BROWN...except your own of course who are various shades of PINK..hehehe.

So far as to you knowing Otis Blackwell...If you did know him you would have not been praising this corny ass Elvis, but would have been speaking of Otis who "CREATED " Elvis right down to his shoes and socks.

Elvis if he lived a thousand years would NEVER have been responsible for putting the music of Blacks on the map...The music of Blacks created Elvis...NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND!!!!! That no talent loser was a creation made by Blacks to satisfy the closeted racist whites who wished to sit in on the concerts of Blacks and listen to the music of Blacks, but would not DARE be seen doing it as it would make them appear to have a soft spot for the people, so a pale face had to be created to satisfy this desire. Just as today and a few years back there was the Back Street Boys, 98 degrees, and Out of Sync...(Ooops Nsync) Britney (no talent) Spears etc etc... whose music was written by FULL FORCE and other Black artists and producers, whose shows are choreographed by Black dancers and whose performances/shows are orchestrated by Blacks. Again done to satisfy the, in particular silly white girls, who would not dare sit in on a NEW EDITION concerts or BOYZ TO MEN, Janet Jackson etc and knew little of the JACKSON FIVE who Boyz to Men and New Edition emulated. Elvis' entire inspiration came from Black men like Little Richard, James Brown, Chuck Berry and the like...men and music which had LONG BEEN CREATED, PLAYED AND LISTENED TO. So again your statements of Elvis producing or creating or putting the music of Blacks on the map just shows not only utter IGNORANCE but the still present poor self esteem and image whites have of themselves when it comes to measuring up to Blacks....

Numbers state the mans longevity and popularity is still greater than many LIVING artists. Like his music or not, the numbers state that millions worldwide like his music. Tastes vary from one person to the next in art, music and beauty. Seems many many people like him.

 You are the one who broutght up the black man, not me. I am always amazed at how many people get upset over the color issue, with regards to Elvis and the black man's music. He was the first to admit his influences.
But do not fool yourself, Elvis was pure raw talent. Everything he touched (entertainment wise) turned to gold. Otis black well did not invent Elvis, Elvis invented himself...............yo u can not prove otherwise.
    You sound like an angry bitter person with a chip on your shoulder.

Alright I got a question for ya Eric...why are so many of Elvis' hits sped up to like 1.5x regular speed when he played them live in his later days?  This is incredibly annoying to me.

Elvis was on many amphetamines.  He once did a 27 song concert in 13 minutes.

That was when he was on tour with Anal girl and Napalm Death.  He came out on stage and did "Eazy E got AIDS from Freddie Mercury" with AC and did an encore of "Gloves of Metal" by Manowar.  Elvis was awesome on vocals but the blasts weren't all that tight.

Yes Elvis had it all down to a science.  The Jordanaires fucked it all up.   Red and Colonel Parker was on the smack bad at the time.
