Elvis - The King

Post by Markgway »

Three new No.1s

Half-dozen top five hits in the new millenium.

The King is back... but more importantly what's your fave Elvis song?

I have a few bubbling at the top, but will wait to see what else is suggested, lest I influence anyone... ;)

Jailhouse Rock (1957)
Suspicious Minds (1970) - before Gareth Gay-tes murdered it :D
Love Me Tender :wink: - nice ballad
Heartbreak Hotel

Cant think of many more, but he was a decent crooner as well as rock n roller - like on LMT (above) and (I Can't Help) Falling In Love... :wink:

King creole
Guitar man
Hard headed woman
Blue suede shoes
Jailhouse rock
It's hard to think of any there's so many to choose from.
I much prefer the Sun years but some of the later stuff is good in a different way.
