CRAZY-HORSE Wrote:yep...
the "king of rock and roll",Elvis Aron Presley, would have turned 80 years old today(had he still been alive)...
its debatable who did actually start "rock and roll" as we knew it in the 1050s, and just as debatable as to who the greatest rocker ever was...
some say Little Richard,some Chuck Berry,Jerry Lee,Carl Perkins or even Bill Haley....
but to tens of millions arounf the globe Elvis Presley still is "#1"....
in his lifetime he sold well over one hundred million albums and singles worldwide(that figure fo albums alone now officially stands at one billion albums and counting accoding to the RIAA)....
he also made 33 movies(mostly forgettable) between 1956-1972, each were worldwide box office hits...Elvis was also the first actor to make a million dollars US as a paid actor....
he only ecieved three Grammy's duing his lifetime, and all of them were for his gospel material, not his rock/pop material....
so, on this day of remembrance i link my favourite Presley track of all time....
