Today, January 8, 2010, would have been Elvis Presley's 75th birthday.
Some folks nowadays consider Elvis nothing but a bit of American kitsch. They couldn't be more wrong.
Simply put, in his day, Elvis was the king of rock'n'roll.
The lyrics to one of his songs says it best:
A poor man wants the oyster
A rich man wants the pearl
But the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing
He's the king of the whole wide world
Come on let's sing, sing brother sing
'Cause the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing
He's the king of the whole wide world
