Elvis Presley January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977

I grew up on Elvis. Mom was an Elvis fan. I learnt to sing with Elvis and I knew almost every song. Today he would have turned 75! A special tribute on my blog to a personal hero.

Three top Elvis songs.

Heartbreak Hotel

Jailhouse Rock

Tiger Man

Elvis impersonators

There are way too many and most are crap. But a few stand out. How about these?
