MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) - Elvis Presley would be turning 74 and
Barack Obama wants to use one of his songs in the inaugural. Not
bad for a guy who died more than three decades ago.
The King of Rock 'n' Roll's birthday will be celebrated Thursday
at his Graceland estate in Memphis, where he died in 1977.
The king may be gone, but he's not forgotten, as the arrival of
600,000 fans in 2007 for the 30th anniversary of his death showed.
Elvis topped business magazine Forbes' 2008 list of dead
celebrities' earnings.
The Commercial Appeal reported Robert Sillerman, chief executive
of Elvis Presley Enterprises' parent company CKX, said the
inauguration committee for President-elect Barack Obama has
requested the use of Presley's hit, "If I Can Dream."

I guess this all they could find to post. Who cares.

I can draw a mental picture of just about anyone at the age of 74… But I cant do it for Elvis! Probably better he lived hard and died young…May have just been exactly what he wanted and got.
