View More By Elvis Presley Our ReviewTo celebrate what would have been Elvis Presley’s 75th birthday, his record label issued a comprehensive 100-track compilation and this 25-song collection. The breadth of material is overwhelming. Presley’s recording career spanned three very distinct decades and he was still putting his personal stamp on every song he sang until his death in 1977. “That’s All Right” and “I Forgot to Remember to Forget” are from his early groundbreaking sessions at Sun Records in Memphis. “Heartbreak Hotel,” “Blue Suede Shoes,” “Hound Dog,” Jailhouse Rock” and many more represent his prime mid-‘50s RCA material. “It’s Now Or Never,” “Are You Lonesome Tonight?,” “Little Sister” and “Can’t Help Falling In Love” show the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll had lost none of his magic at the turn of the ‘60s. “If I Can Dream,” “In the Ghetto” and “Suspicious Minds” prove his powers as that decade drew to a close. “Burning Love” and “Always On My Mind” close out the set in the ‘70s. “Polk Salad Annie” and “An American Trilogy” are two live tracks showing Elvis having fun on stage. They called Elvis “The King” for a reason!. Customer ReviewsCareer spanning single CD skims the surface of Elvis’ greatness (5 stars)This single CD, issued in celebration of Elvis Presley’s 75th birthday anniversary, includes twenty-five tracks selected from the more thorough 4-CD Elvis 75 Good Rockin’ Tonight. Much like the box set, this disc covers the length of Elvis’ career, including early sides for Sun, incendiary rock ‘n’ ‘roll for RCA, hits from the movies, post-Army comebacks, gospel, late-60s Memphis gems, live performances and later studio work from The One and Only King of Rock and Roll (5 stars) Elvis Presley is one of the greatest Anerican Musicians of all time. This album features some of his best songs. I have been a huge fan of him since I was five and now ten years later I love him even more. His songs have an inspirational beat and story to them and should be on everyone's music list! LONG LIVE THE KING! (5 stars) Timeless...it never gets old, "LONG LIVE THE KING"! BiographyBorn: January 08, 1935 in Tupelo, MSGenre: Rock Years Active: '50s, '60s, '70s Elvis Presley may be the single most important figure in American 20th century popular music. Not necessarily the best, and certainly not the most consistent. But no one could argue with the fact that he was the musician most responsible for popularizing rock & roll on an international level. Viewed in cold sales figures, his impact was phenomenal. Dozens upon dozens of international smashes from the mid-'50s to the mid-'70s,...
