There are about (literally) 3,000 "cool things" about Elvis spanning three decades. Among them are that he was the FIRST major Rock and Roll Star to perform Gospel Songs initially on TV (see Ed Sullivan Show "Peace in the Valley") and throughout his Concert appearances beginning in 1970 through 1977.
Elvis was a trendsetter in everything he wore and did...onstage and off.
Thanks for the article.
Take care and may God bless you.

Hey! I will always LOVE ELVIS!!! He is the greatest!
I am always catching my breath everytime someone mentions "the king". No one will ever come close to what a great man he was and still is in my eyes. I LOVE YOU, ELVIS!!!!

He loved Gospel just like his momma, and he took it after her. Elvis loved his momma deeply.

I've loved Elvis since I was a baby, and I will miss him til the day I die. He is and was and always will be the "KING". God bless him and watch over him, he is indeed missed.

Elvis was the greatest entertainer of all time. There will never be another. He probably is rolling over in his grave with the bull shit garbage music we have today. Long live the KING!!!!!!!!!!!!

and all these years I thought Elvis changed his hair color because he liked Tony Curtis's look
