My wife loves Elvis. She has lots of Elvis paraphernalia. I loved his music and iconic voice. He recorded over 700 songs, was nominated for 14 Grammies, and won 3. He made the top 40 charts 104 times, and the top 10 charts 38 times. Starred in 33 feature films. Born: Jan 8, 1935. Died: Aug 16, 1977.
