John, due respect, but if your impression is that "Heartbreak Hotel"
and "Love Me Tender" have "faded into history," you inhabit a very
different musical world than most people.
Never said I didn't!
Hell, even minor Elvis songs like "A Little Less Conversation" pop
up all over the place.
But are you talking about replays of Elvis' recordings, or up to date
covers by other people? (Serious question.) The King's Singers
recorded "Can't Buy Me Love," as a madrigal, but I don't recall their
version of "Blue Suede Shoes"!
