I was never a great Elvis fan. Far too corny in voice, style and presentation. OK, there were some very good songs. Suspicious Minds, The Wonder Of You, I Just Can't Help Believin' and An American Trilogy. They will keep Elvis impersonaters in business for ever.The last of these very nearly made the list, and I have vivid memories of Return To Sender when I delivered Christmas Post in 1961. But Elvis turns them into something slightly distasteful. But more than this, he never toured the UK, despite his many fans who were desperate to see him. Jimmy Saville tried with the Colonel on a number of occasions but to no avail. So there, he doesn't make my list.
