Elvis Presley would have been 90 years old today. I probably should have warned you that was coming. 90 is a big number. Okay. Whatever. That’s not why we’re here anyway. Let’s take a moment or 2 and celebrate Elvis and the music. Isn’t that what it’s all about anyway? I don’t want to opine about what could have been and what happened in 1970 blah, blah. Let other people write about that. How about we dig up some great tunes from the original, the man, the king of rock n roll, Elvis.
It all comes down to that voice. We can talk all we want about arrangements, songs, showmanship etc. But none of it matters without that voice. It’s incredible. Dude had a gift. Here’s some of my favorite examples of Elvis just making it all sound effortless. Happy Birthday E.
