I’m always pleased to see that Elvis is #1 on this list again, but………… I would much rather see him still alive & enjoying life in his “autumn years” & maybe still thrilling us with all that music he made. Hey!! We still can! He left it all for us to enjoy.We just need to listen! Elvis is FOREVER! Now that’s the list he needs to be on.
