Elvis Presley has always been very popular in Ireland because of his beautiful voice. The current edition of Q magazine voted him the world's number 1 vocalist of all! It's great to see these well known Irish artists paying tribute to Elvis considering this year is the 30th Anniversary of his death.I think I'll play Beethoven's "Irish" Symphony (The magnificent Seventh) to celibrate!
