Even after death, his image and music continue to be loved and celebrated throughout the world. This July 5, 2014 will be the official 60th Birthday of Rock-n-roll commemorating Sun Records release of Elvis Presley’s song “That’s all right Mama”. With recent number ones on Billboard and Great Britain’s charts, songs featured in commercials (Heineken) and movies, a hologram in the works, theme nights on American Idol and major bio pics in the works, Elvis once again proves he is gone, but not forgotten.
