The King

Before Elvis, there was nothing.
-John Lennon

I don't know what it is about 2010, but for some reason, I feel like not a lot of good, new music emerged this year. At times like these, I always find myself returning to the classics.

A few fun facts about the King:

-He was related to two US presidents: Abraham Lincoln and Jimmy Carter.
-He had a black belt in karate.
-He recorded approximately 600 songs, but was not solely responsible for writing any of them.
-10 consecutively released Elvis songs went to No. 1 on the charts.
-He used the name "Jon Burrows" as an alias.
-Currently, there are roughly 50,000 people worldwide that make their living as Elvis impersonators.
