Blogdex for Elvis Presley – with articles and reviews on separate lists. Sometimes there’s blogs that will mention Elvis but will use the Elvis Presley category – these will only be for blogs where Elvis is the main theme. I find that he often works as a metaphor in other contexts, but that wouldn’t really be an Elvis blog exactly.

Do you have this link…seven hours of Elvis singing gospel music. He first started in churches and I remember him first for his gospel music which I always love. hugs, pat
Thank you Pat!
Yes. I not only have the link, but I have these songs several times in my Elvis collection of LPs and CDs.
Funny to think that if Elvis had had his dream come true, he might just have been a singer in the Blackwood Brothers quartet.
Just a note about the poll – to be King – the person would have to have:
1. been able to reach the mainstream audience;
2. be considered one of their own by a teen-aged audience (which is why Bill Haley and Carl Perkins were left off – both were middle aged married men…);
3. Be completely different than other performers musically and performance style; and
4. have a unique look.
Funnily enough, recording or trying to record at Sun records, wouldn’t be a qualification, but it certainly seemed to attract more than it’s share of the early rockers.
