XM Satellite Radio's 50s on 5 is commemorating the 29th anniversary of the passing of Elvis Presley with an all-day tribute.
Elvis was born on January 8, 1935 and died on August 16, 1977 - so 50s on 5 host Ken Smith is paying tribute to The King of Rock 'n Roll all day long on Wednesday, August 16th, 2006.
Every hour, you’ll hear a vintage interview with either Elvis himself or someone close to him, as well as stories and more about the legend throughout the day.
big deal, Sirius has an ELVIS station.
Nice try XM
So are they only going to be playing his songs from the 50's?
That kinda blows if it's true- I actually liked some of his later, "Vegas" stuff (late 60's and early 70's)
the Elvis radio on Sirius
has way too many repeats and blows bigtime
Just last week on Sirius 13, Elvis Radio, they were playing an Elvis interview from Vegas (70's). The interviewer was asking Elvis did he know that in 15 years his concerts would be heard globally through satellites. this was no joke and Elvis said that would be great to reach the whole world.
I thought that interview was was strangely very good and me wonder if Elvis only knows.
"That kinda blows if it's true- I actually liked some of his later, "Vegas" stuff (late 60's and early 70's)"
Yeah. No shit. "Burnin' Love" is one of his best songs.
And nothing beats some of his awful, embarrassing Hollywood offerings. I mean, who doesn't love "Do The Clam"?? That song is practically Elvis' "Freebird"!!
