In his live concerts when Elvis sang "Fairytales" he would jokingly call it
"the story of my life". Which of his songs do you think best exemplifies his
life and career? My choice would be, "MY WAY".:D

There are so many that could fit how I think of him Mr Songman, and a "Hunka Hunka Burnin Love" Welcome to my World(y)

I think you are right. These two songs do exemplify Elvis' life and career. He
was both.

Great choices, but I would say MY WAY has to be the song that most exemplifies Elvis' life. :hmm:

What a GREAT question!!! Really makes you think... ;)

"Goodtime Charlies Got the Blues" for his life
"Tigerman" for his career.
