Geez, I haven’t thought about Paul King in decades, in sharp contrast to how often I used to think about him in the 80s…

Elvis, I was 9. I begged my mum to take me to see his films and as we lived overseas, they were often on at the local cinema so she'd take me and my 7 year old brother who probably didn't like him that much.

That lasted a short while until Davy Jones of the Monkees came along.

Elvis was then history.

Mine was Elvis too and I was born in the 80s!

James Mason as Captain Nemo in 20000 leagues under the sea and the u-boat captain in Das Boot. I obviously had a thing for submariners.

Still love everything submarine related to this day.
