Happy Birthday to the King!
“Before Elvis there was nothing”
- John Lennon
“When I got interested in music as a 13 year old kid, trumpeters were still heroes. Then Elvis came along, and suddenly guitar seemed better, plus, I realized I couldn’t sing with a trumpet in my mouth. Now every time I feel low, I just put on an Elvis record and I’d feel great”
- Paul McCartney
“When I first heard Elvis’ voice I just knew that I wasn’t going to work for anybody; and nobody was going to be my boss. Hearing him for the first time was like busting out of jail”
- Bob Dylan
