What Elvis Songs are Still Big on the King’s 80th Birthday?

Elvis Aaron Presley was born this day in 1935, which, would make this The King’s 80th birthday.  Most of us (me included) find the whole Elvis thing to be pretty kitschy (I blame the estate and Graceland for that), but there are still millions and millions of Presley fans out there.  And his influence is still felt everywhere.

The Echo Nest, the big data collection brains within Spotify, has this new web app that will connect any artist you enter in the search box to Elvis. They also have “The Elvisulization,” which is a cool infographic that shows how The King influenced those who came later.  (Click on the image to take a look.)
