Elvis Presley passed away 42 years ago on August 16, 1977 at 42 years old. On this Rockabilly N Blues Radio Hour, we talk with Elvis Tribute Artist, Cote Deonath about performing, obscure Elvis tracks, 70's Elvis, a special rockin' request and more! We recorded this conversation backstage at the Franklin Theater in downtown Franklin, TN during the Nashville Elvis Festival (with Dean Z doing a soundcheck below). We'll hear "King Covers" by Wanda Jackson, Sleepy LaBeef, Brenda Lee, Chris Isaak, Jake Calypso, Conway Twitty and an Elvis themed tune from Billy Burnette. Plus, we'll play some radio and tv ads from various movies and tv specials. June Carter also talks about Elvis in a snippet from the 50's on the Louisiana Hayride and Sir Cliff Richard talks about finally getting to do a duet with Elvis in our Five Year Flashback!
