Elvis Presley is a legend of rock.
It’s to the point that he can never die. To this day, people claim to have seen him walking the streets of their home towns; performing in their favorite haunts.
If you read my About page, you’ll know that I never heard any of Elvis Presley’s material until I started listening to rock ‘n’ roll radio in 1960 – long after he’d already made a name for himself.
But, even in 1960, early R ‘n’ R radio had its “oldies,” and music from just 4 or 5 years previous was already “golden.” So, as I listened to Roy Orbison, The Ventures and Del Shannon, I was hearing the golden tunes of Chuck Berry and Elvis Presley.
Today, Elvis is legendary. Back then, he was a star. I’ve loved a LOT of his music over the years, and still do. There’s a reason they call him “The King.”
