Happy birthday to one of my idols – a man that I will never get the chance to meet – Elvis Aron Presley. 

This is a man I have been fascinated with since I was a little girl – before New Kids on the Block or Garth Brooks. Today he would have been 83 years old. Yes, I am one of those people that don’t think he died back in 1977, but he may be gone now that he would be getting close to his mid-80s.

There’s just something about him that intrigues me – his voice, his life, his music, his everything.

Here are 16 of my favorite Elvis songs in a YouTube playlist, starting with my all-time favorite song ever – “Always On My Mind.”
