Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to the King of Rock N Roll! Happy Birthday to you! It’s a belated birthday to the late Elvis Presley – the King of Rock N Roll, as he celebrated his 75th Birthday on January 8th, 2010. In celebration of his 75th birthday, Legacy Recordings is proud to announce the release of “Elvis 75-Good Rockin’ Tonight” on CD! This CD represents the ultimate career-spanning collection of seminal recordings by Elvis Presley. It includes four cds with 100 songs, representing a broad collection of hit singles, deep album tracks, live performances, and rarities and is available everywhere now! Disc 1 features songs from 1953-1957. Disc 2 features songs from 1958-1962. Disc 3 features songs from 1963-1969. Disc 4 features songs from 1970-1977.
