I'm still partial to Ronnie McDowells "The King Is Gone."
Think it was because it was the first one I heard after EP died.

My absolute favorite song about Elvis is "Cry Like Memphis."
"Black Velvet" comes a close second.
Glad to see they have already been posted.

I_llBeWithYouAlways --ITS A TRIBUTE SONG -SORRY I DUNNO WHO SINGS IT
How about the Carl Perkins single from 1975 "The E.P. Express", which has Scotty Moore and The Jordanaires on it too.
Wow, there are so many songs I don't know here...
Anybody knows Bye bye Johnny (a Bruce Springsteen song)? it's more about Elvis' mother, it's very touching
- Shine a little light on Elvis - Rex Fowler
- Back to Tupelo - Mark Knopfler
I just came across:
'He Was The King' by Neil Young
and I would like to ask the ones of you who know the lyrics, not sure
if I get it right, but is Neil Young making fun of Elvis or not? :blink:

And a blue-haired lady screamed

Well, you decide if he was making fun of Elvis or not...
Another great one I discovered recently...Went to see the gypsy, by Bob Dylan. He put perfectly in words what we all feel:
He can move you from the rear,
Drive you from your fear,
Bring you through the mirror.
He did it in las vegas,
And he can do it here
Thank you, Liana. Yes I know the lyrics and that's why I am asking.
As english is not my mother tongue...I am not sure if it could be a form
of tribute, done in a special way :hmm: or making fun of Elvis.
I used to like Neil Young, so I was hoping the song to be a tribute....
How 'bout Blue Suede Heaven by Mark James. Beautiful song. I first heard it at the end credits of the Elvis documentary The Echo Will Never Die. Those who've seen it know what I'm talking about.
I originally thought it was by B.J. Thomas when I first heard it. Sounds just like him. After researching, I was shocked to see it wasn't.
Dang,ya'll mentioned all the ones i know except "Elvis is everywhere" by oops i forgot.Oh well ya'll are smart tell me who it was...LOL
Do you mean 'Mojo Nixon & Skid Roper - Elvis is Everywhere' ....:D
