Morning Man Classic: Elvis Presley!

We shine the light on the late, great Elvis Presley was born 90 years ago today.

Loved the 2022 film Elvis directed by Baz Luhrmann and starring Austin Butler as Elvis.

He died far too young – at the age of 42 – but he did leave us with so many wonderful recordings and films.

Elvis hit the top of the record charts with songs like Jailhouse Rock, Love Me Tender, Heartbreak Hotel, Don’t Be Cruel, Hound Dog, Blue Suede Shoes, Suspicious Minds and on and on and on.

Then there were a series of hit movies in the 50s and 60s starting with Love Me Tender (the only film in which he dies), Blue Hawaii, It Happened at the World’s Fair, Viva Las Vegas, Kissin’ Cousins and my favorite: Change of Habit opposite Mary Tyler Moore as a nun who falls in love with a doctor played by Elvis!

Elvis was a singular talent who could sing, act and shake that pelvis. And, well, he was hot!
