Songs About Elvis Presley (Special Elvis Birthday Edition)
There have been more songs written about Elvis Presley than any other performer. No surprise, because along with the Beatles, Frank Sinatra, Louis Armstrong, he's one of the most important musicians of all time. But doing research for this post, even I couldn't believe how many songs about Elvis have been released. I can't claim that all the songs listed below are stellar. A lot of tribute records can be pretty mawkish, no matter the subject. But there's certainly many good ones and at the very least, interesting takes on Elvis' legacy.
