Elvis Presley

Elvis Presley died August 16,1977 at the age of 42. To this day, he remains the king of rock ‘n’ roll. "Can't Help Falling in Love" was the last song he sang in concert before his death.

One of Elvis Presley's signature songs and our Song of the Day, "Love Me Tender," was released on September 29, 1956. It quickly zoomed to number one the Billboard Hot 100, knocking "Hound Dog" off the top of the chart. The song's origins are equally interesting.
