It's Elvis Presley's birthday.
Yeah, to be sure Elvis, the King, and Bill Belew are buddies, chums that sort of thing.
Bill Belew knows about the King, knows personal things about him, when he's eaten too much, when his clothes have changed a size or two or four, when his tastes have changed, his moods.
Bill Belew designed Elvis's jumpsuits.
No doubt the two celebrated many a birthday of the King together.
That Bill Belew made a lot more money than this Bill Belew.
Today, January 8th, is the King's birthday. He was born on this day in 1935.
My older sister is probably in Memphis celebrating or wishing very hard that she was on the Elvis Fan Club President's Event invitation only list.
She once swooned when she visited the Elvis museum way back when.
I was born a tad late in life to be a die-hard fan of the king.
Still, his influence on music is still felt.
Are/were you an Elvis fan?
