It’s exactly 30 years since the death of Elvis Presley. Rather than than dwell on the jumpsuit wearing caricature of his later years, let’s remember him in his prime.

Here's a couple of extras, one from the decade before (1957's Jailhouse Rock), plus one from the decade after (Suspicious Minds from 1973's Aloha From Hawaii).
