Elvis Presley, Graceland

Hair black as snow's
An awkward crooked.                            
Smile, to boot his stiffer
Upper lips of red wine.

His gorgeous swagger,
Lingered all the young
Girls battle to snuff
About.                                                         Songs of the KING of rock n' roll
                                                                      Love me tender, jailhouse rock,
                                                                       Girl happy, Frankfort special,
                                                                          Blue Hawaii, g.i. Blues. Ect.

His voice left you wanting
More ELVIS PRESLEY,
GRACELAND is the true,
KING of ROCK N' ROLL.

His music will NEVER DIE:
It's an inspiration that will,
And has lasted a decade entirely
Forever.

Entered in contest what songwriters inspire; or writers inspire you????

Nice tribute to Elvis. However, your first line has a questionable item. "Hair black as snow's"? For as long as I can remember, snow has appeared white in color. Are you sure you don't mean "crows" instead of "snow's"?
