Yeah, that's a good one, but Kentucky Rain is damn good. I've always thought it's one of the best written songs ever.

after that you have Suspicious Minds.

I was 17, about to turn 18, I wasn't really an Elvis Fan then. I was working in My Mom's Flower bed, and she came out on the porch crying, and told me what happened. I was like WTF, we don't know him, and went back to working.

I love his version of never been to Spain

I am pretty inch deep on Elvis but every now and then I'll put on a live album the crank thru most of it.

Elvis at stax is a great listen

I was too. Me and my buddy had come back from football practice to his house and it was like you walked in on a funeral, and of course we didn't get it.

The kicker was his old man was a trucker and a dead ringer for prime Elvis except about 250.

Impossible to pick one (I was raised by an Elvis fan), but American Trilogy if I have to pick.

“Suspicion” & “It Hurts Me” are two of my favorites.

He’s going some bad arse live covers
“Tiger Man”
“Polk Salad Annie”
“Guitar Man”

I absolutely love his gospel stuff. If I’m working on Sundays, I just crank the Elvis Radio’s gospel hour on the way to the farm to get my Jesus time in.

“Run On” & the live version of “Saved” are just awesome.

Prime Elvis is the GOAT

He was going to be a truck driver but decided to give sun records a shot and the rest was history.

His “Bridge Over Troubled Water” was classic. As Paul Simon said after seeing the King perform it live, “We all might as well give up now”. And this from someone who had listened to one of America’s greatest voices, Art Garfunkel, perform it many times.
