What You Never Knew About Elvis Presley

Cool Fact: Elvis Presley holds the record for the most platinum certificates issued by the RIAA, with 70. Elvis Presley's records spent a cumulative total of 1,155 weeks on the UK singles chart since his first hit Heartbreak Hotel released on May 11, 1956. Everything went crazy when Elvis came upon the scene. Ladies loved his sexy style; with controversy, he made history. 'Viva Las Vegas', one of his many films, put him up on the big screen. In all the world, an icon and the King of Rock was he, Shaking his Elvis pelvis so provocatively! Perpetually has Elvis Presley’s huge estate Remained one of the richest of celebrities we prize. Even now, he’s the singer that most folks impersonate. So handsome was this star with jet black hair and ice blue eyes. ‘Love Me Tender’ easily could make Each and every young girl swoon. Yesterday till today, still idolized, he died much too soon. May 13, 2023 for The Elvis Presley Inspiration Poetry Contest Sponsor: Robert James Liguori

Even when my grandson was a toddler, he’d rock out to Elvis while atop my bed. Your poem, I enjoyed very much…too much ;)

Such a inspiration you've penned, beautifully done, sweet lady. I loved Elvis and remember so well when he died. I was around 10 and was so sad that he'd passed... yes, far too young. God bless you with a win for this. Love, Gina
