Celebrating Elvis Presley's birthday today - post your favorite song!

Elvis Presley was born on January 8, 1935. Today he would be 86.

I remember seeing "Blue Hawaii" with my first boyfriend. This song was playing. A sweet memory.

Our mother-son dance was “The Wonder Of You.” Probably going to cry whenever I hear that song now.

Gonna play it and break out the Kleenex.
The DJ at the wedding (who I met that day) commented what a great song that is for a mother-son dance.
