Well, its kinda complicated. The easy answer is its just years of strain. Working so much, plus in venus where smoking was the norm, took its toll. Also remember after Elvis dies, Newton took on the role as Mr. Las Vegas which meant taking over Elvis' old digs at the LV Hilton, performing two shows a night, 6 or 7 nights a week, for 7 years straight.
Part of it may be his style of singing as well; never taking lessons, he may have been singing "wrong" all these years to where he has just flat-out worn out his vocal chords. This may have been the price he has paid for singing so well for so many years in his distintive voice. As Newton has said himself, even Sinatra wasn't singing the same way later in life.
Lastly, the man suffered from aesthma and respitory issues.
Combine all of this and you get how he sounds today. Still, he is a super entertainer.

∙ 15y agoI just saw him today in Big Fork, Montana walking down the street...he looked to be at least 6ft 4inch or 13 "forks" high...hee. I got to say hello and shook his hand and he was very gracious and smiled. Now I can't get Danke Schoen out of my head!! But I don't mind...it's a cool song...Ferris Bueller thinks so too!

Did Sean Connery guest star on TV series Bonanza?
If you saw the 1965 episode of Bonanza titled "The Ballerina" and wondered if the father of the ballerina looked like it could be Sean Connery, you're not alone. I would have sworn it was him but after looking it up on the IMDB, I found the actor who played Ned Conrad was Douglas Fowley. Unfortunately, there was no picture of him to be able to compare to Sean Connery.
