HISTORY OF ELVIS PRESLEY

• Elvis Presley is the best selling solo artist In U.S. History

• Elvis charted more songs on Billboard's Hot 100 than any other artist.

• Elvis spent more weeks at the top of the charts than any other artist.

• Elvis had the greatest number of consecutive #1 hits.

• Elvis is second only to the Beatles in total of #1 hits.

You would never have guessed any of this back in 1953 when a young worker from the Parker Machinists Shop wandered into the Memphis Recording Service on his lunch hour to record two songs as a belated birthday present for his mother. Okay, maybe that's just folklore as this was summer and Gladys' birthday was in April. Maybe he just wanted to record. That's okay. Whatever the motivation, it was worth the $3.98 shot.

Presley choose to record two Ink Spots tunes, "My Happiness" and "That's When Your Heartaches Begin." What's interesting about the choices is that Sam Phillips, the owner, also owned Sun Records, an independent record label, and was known to be looking for a white man who could sing in a black R&B style.

However, Sam Phillips wasn't impressed then or when the young Presley tried again in January of 1954, when Elvis recorded, "Careless Love" and "I'll Never Stand In Your Way." (Some say the song was "Casual Love Affair, but the Sun site says "Careless Love" and that's good enough for me.)

I've seen Elvis many times not that long ago. All of them were in Las Vegas.

Haven't seen any pics/reports of the show in the press or comments anywhere. Did it take place or was it pulled at the last moment because of poor ticket sales?

Anyone know?

(Also, on Monday 2 October The Nation reported that Lonely Planet founders Maureen and Tony Wheeler would be doing a book signing at Asia Books in Siam Paragon that day promoting their new toom The Lonely Planet Story - again no reports in the press or anywhere else about this. Again.... does anyone know if they actually showed up.)
