Next January 8th Elvis Presley He would be 89 years old. If Willie Nelson, having been born nine months earlier, continues to give successful tours throughout the United States, having smoked all the weed grown in California in a year, We must consider that Presley's problem was consuming the wrong substances to stay alive and ending up as an exquisite corpse barely past forty decades of existence. And yet, some dreamers still feel his ghost wandering among the lights of Las Vegas, in his Graceland mansion, or near his birthplace in Tupelo, Mississippi. This happens often in the memories of fans who refuse to see their heroes fall and simply disappear. His songs continue to inspire dancing and tears from millions of followers around the world, and every time a new song, remix, biopic, or documentary about him is released, thousands of fans crowd the doors of the store that presents it. (Will anyone remember Bad Bunny, Peso Pluma, Maluma, or similar artists in the same way in fifty years?).
At this point, we are not interested in discussing whether Elvis was a good guy or a despicable star, a tormented man or a blinded, tireless pursuer of power., That doesn't matter, really. He was and will remain an icon who left behind many examples of his incredible voice, his seductive figure, his charm, and brilliant recordings worth remembering. As is customary in this section of Zonagirante.com, we set out to find covers that honor this idol, and we managed to put together a playlist with ten tracks, from Brazil, Chile, Mexico and Argentina, in formats such as jazz, rock and roll, bossa nova, pop and punk, which almost completes thirty minutes of elegant performance to while away the afternoon. Some may think we've put together a playlist worthy of being programmed in a hotel lobby or as the constant soundtrack in an elevator, But others will accept that it's a good time for tenderness, pleasant feeling that, from time to time, awakens us The King.
