I am 25 years old, raised in an Elvis family. I listen to the King ALL the time, in fact it’s why i have Sirius radio. I’d rather listen to him than any of that bubble gum rap garbage they try to pass off as modern “music”. This is disgusting to me
Stereotypical answer is Suspicious Minds, especially the live version. Anything he did live I love! Also love the deeper track stuff like Talk In Your Sleep or For The Heart
I always hated Elvis growing up cuz I always heard him on the radio and on grandma's records. Then, when I got older and wiser I watched some of his live performances on YouTube. I totally understood the instant I saw him perform live. It was like an out of body experience and I realized that while the music may not have always been brilliant, the man in a live performance was like nothing that had ever been done before at the time. He literally laid the foundation for what you see in showbusiness today, and that was 60 years ago! Besides certain performers like funk musicians and fringe rockers nobody really started doing Elvis like shows consistently for many years afterwards. He was easily 10-15 years ahead of his time, and quite honestly probably 20-30.
(The live version of suspicious minds in Vegas I think it was is probably one of the greatest single song performances ever)
