... and he's still dead. I don't care what that lady from the trailer park in Arkansas tells you about seeing him in a Burger King last week.

59 years later the Sultan of Swat still rests in peace as well.

Top 5 Favorite Elvis Songs: 1. Heartbreak Hotel 2. Suspicious Minds 3. Can't Help Falling In Love 4. Hound Dog 5. Are You Lonesome Tonight - a live recording where Elvis cracks a joke and then laughs uncontrollably for several minutes. The backup singers are unfazed and just keeping singing.

"Suspicious Minds" is really under-rated. Elvis really had an opportunity to escape from the Hollywood trash he had been singing and re-invent himself as a soul singer. He hadn't been given a song like that to sing in years, and likely never was again until shortly before he died when he was supposedly going to record a few songs by a young Texan named Steve Earle.

"Suspicious Minds" is a brilliant song. Ireland's own Elvis,women all over Ireland and Britain have been throwing their nickers st this fella for years.

For the first 20 or so years of my life I had no idea it was Elvis singing the song. It just sounds so un-Elvis, and as Edgy puts it, soulful.

Mystery Train Are You Lonesome Tonight Jailhouse Rock Heartbreak Hotel Hound Dog At least one elderly lady died Wednesday night in the 100-degree heat outside Graceland while on an Elvis vigil. If she had gone while on the crapper then the whole experience would have been complete.
