Well, I like Elvis, too ...

... but I love Nat: Forget Elvis—here’s the real King.

I believe I am a bit older than Roger - I remember Nat Cole when he was still with the King Cole Trio back in the - gasp! - '40s. Still, I can remember the very day and moment I first heard Elvis. Apples and oranges.

  1. Me, too! "Hound Dog." Lived smack-dab in the middle of a row of low-rent Cabbagetown houses at 8 Sackville Street in Toronto, all attached to each other since they kept the heat better and were cheaper to build.

    One of those Bakelite radios with all those orange tubes just a-blasting "Hound Dog" and I tried and tried to find the little people and the tiny hound dog inside it but never could. Felt cheated. Still do :(.
