Story behind the song
This single song selection, which has a distinct Americana flavor with a Country Rockabilly feel, is titled "When our idol was the King" and it takes us back to a time when we didn't need to be told by someone else who we "idolized" or made to cast our vote for our favorite singer after hearing them perform once or twice. Specifically, it is a song about the King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley, but it also could apply to many other singers and performers from the past who came up through the ranks the old fashion way. Brock wrote the song's lyrics and the music was co-written by Bob Doidge and Amy King of Grant Avenue Studios in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada Brock now is in the process of recording his first album with a cross selection of original country music, easy listening and rarer cover songs. We hope you enjoy this first offering of "When our idol was the King" available exclusively only as a digital download through Itunes, Amazon, or CD Baby.
Lyrics
When our idol was the King There was feeling that made us care all we could do was sit and stare with the sound that made us cry our eyes are now forever dry When our idol was the King We didn't need to cast our vote or decide if he could sing His soul came through on every note When our idol was the King When our idol was the King When our idol was the King It started with some rock 'n roll gospel was sung with plenty of soul while ballads could let the girls dream and a love song only theirs to redeem When our idol was the King (Instrumental solo) That's all right mama, showed us how perfection was all he would allow Unchained melody spirit was there with a heart that couldn't help but care When our idol was the King Over thirty years already spent that it still with us now is no accident good on us that chose to save the feel Elvis never will lose that appeal When our idol was the King We didn't need to cast our vote or decide if he could sing His soul came through on every note When our idol was the King When our idol was the King When our idol was the King We didn't need to cast our vote or decide if he could sing His soul came through on every note When our idol was the King When our idol was the King Cause our idol's still the King
