Over the years I often wondered what it would feel like to sing and have the world fall at your feet, but I never did find out.
Elvis Presley and I grew up together. Not together, exactly, since I never actually met him. But you couldn’t live in Memphis, Tennessee, without feeling some connection to the King. He was five years older than me, and when I was in high school, “Hound Dog” and “Don’t Be Cruel” hit the Top-40 charts. Elvis was already making it big in rock-and-roll, and I was just starting voice lessons, learning to sing opera.
