Yesterday, I bought an Elvis Presley cd: 30 #1 Hits.
I like Elvis.
Buddy Holly is good, too, but he always has the same sound.
Elvis could (and did) sing anything. He had songs that were simultaneously #1 on the Pop, R&B, and Country charts. How is that even possible? Has anyone else ever done that? Would that be possible today?

I saw a movie of his early career & he really was an amazing singer/songwriter. The hype that was generated to promote him didn't reflect his talent at all. He kept being stuck in those really dumb movies too. I remember watching the TV show he hosted and thinking how funny & genuine a performer he was. Ack!! dated!!!! :-)
