Elvis Presley may be the single most important figure in American 20th century popular music. Not necessarily the best, and certainly not the most consistent. But no one could argue with the fact that he was the musician most responsible for popularizing rock & roll on an international level. Viewed in cold sales figures, his impact was phenomenal. Dozens upon dozens of international smashes from the mid-'50s to the mid-'70s, as well as the steady sales of his catalog and reissues since his death in 1977, may make him the single highest-selling performer in history. I just don't want to make dirty this classic record because of my broken English. I love "From Elvis in Memphis" (1969). Here comes a fascinating backup singing and never-to-be-forgotten closing track.
Elvis Presley - Long Black Limousine
Elvis Presley - In The Ghetto (all time favorite)
Other Classics:
Van Morrison - Moondance
Joni Mitchell - For The Roses
