The King of Rock 'n' Roll is, unsurprisingly, also the
King of Number 1s. In just under 48 years, from first chart-topper All
Shook Up in July 1957 to the reissue of It's Now or Never in February 2005,
Elvis amassed 21 Number 1s, spending 80 weeks at the top. Five of those Number
1s came after his death in August 1977, with his last chart-topping during
his lifetime being 1970's The Wonder of You. Bonus fact: Elvis's Jailhouse
Rock was the first single to debut at number 1, back in 1958.
Elvis reveals what
he thought about KISS: OK, I get it! said Elvis Presley while listening
to KISS in the basement of Graceland in 1974. In a recent interview, Presleys
stepbrother Billy Stanley shared the memory of a time he and Elvis once listened
to KISS 1975 live album, Alive! together. Prior to buying the album and
playing it in the basement of Graceland, Stanley had seen KISS for the first
time and was clearly a fan.
Barbara Gray of "The
Kiss" has died: In June 1956 at an Elvis concert in Richmond, Virginia,
Alfred Wertheimer snapped some iconic photographs. One photograph in particular
became quite famous.. a photo of Elvis apparently attempting to kiss a young
lady. Gray's family posted..."It is with great sadness that Barbara Gray passed
away March 1st. Born in Charleston, SC. Famously known as the mystery kiss
woman in the iconic photo kissing Elvis Presley in 1956. Survived by her daughter
Debbie and husband Malcolm Gray"
