What are my favorite Elvis songs? That’s a question I’ve been asked a bunch over the years, and it’s one of the hardest questions for me to answer. I’ve been an Elvis fan since I was a kid. He’s an artist that I’ve always loved. Elvis’ music just instantly puts me in a good mood, it always has.
Elvis Has Always Been My Favorite
Anyone who really knows me knows I’m a hardcore Elvis fan. I’ve read a ton of books and watched a bunch of documentaries about him. Of course, I’ve seen all of his movies. Some of them were good, and some were less than stellar. Elvis would’ve been 89 years old today, so I figured today was a good day to really dig into some awesome Elvis music. Isn’t it crazy to think he would be almost 90? I can’t imagine seeing Elvis as an old man.
Narrowing down this list was tough. Elvis had so many hit songs that spanned three decades. So what I thought I’d do with this list was give you some of my favorite songs that you’ve probably heard before, and some that you may have never heard, but are absolutely awesome!
In my opinion, Elvis was one of the only artists that could sing any genre of music and make you believe it. If he sang a country song, you believed it, or if he sang a blues or gospel song, you believed it. There aren’t many artists, past or present that can do that, but Elvis could do that.
