How many artists can say that they have over 30 #1 hit songs? The King needs no introduction, you probably heard his songs as children, played over the speakers at weddings as you watched the old timers mouth his words and slow-danced to the tunes. You probably grew up listening to him, singing his songs in competitions and auditions like I did. Or you are among the few who have never heard of him, and you do need an introduction.

What better way is there to learn about his vocal mastery than to listen to the highlights of his entire career? And this album does just that.

Elvis Presley, holds the record for the most number of songs to enter the top 100 and billboard top 40 song lists. Thirty of them are presented in this album.

The album starts off with 'Heartbreak Hotel' which was a suicide note modified into a song. Halfway through the album you are already gone through so many hit songs but still it doesn't get tiring. And it ends with a remixed song of his. Here are a few of the songs from this album.

Sung in his signature rasp and performed in his hypnotic style, this is easily one of his best songs till date.

This song can only be described as ahead of its time. Released in 1969, the writing, the music and the style of that songs is reminiscent of the early 90s pop songs. It has and always will be one of my favorite songs.

The last track of this album is why a new generation of people fell in love with Elvis and his magic. JXL remixed Elvis' song 'A little less conversation' into a new aged musical beauty. The perfect example of how old-meets-new is done just right!

Once you have gone through this album, you would also be a believer that Elvis is still alive, in all our hearts. Time to wrap this up my musical friends.

Elvis, has left the building!
