Elvis: The way he was

Thirty years ago today, we lost "The King," Elvis Presley. Here's Elvis at his peak, in 1957 -- before the overexposure, before one too many crappy movies, before one too many peanut-butter-and-banana sandwiches, before the drugs, before Vegas.

Here is the King of Rock 'n' Roll on The Ed Sullivan Show, singing the best version of the gospel song "Peace in the Valley," well . . . ever. And The Jordanaires kick butt.

Big time.

Hard to believe it was 30 years ago. I dig this blog, by the way. Found it via the Dead Pelican.
