Two birthdays today
The first, of course, is for the man who should have turned 83 today, the performer who was arguably the single greatest figure of American pop music during the second half of the 20th century, Elvis Presley.

She celebrates her 43rd birthday. Here is the video for "Heartache Is An Uphill Climb". a track from her 2017 album release Stitch Of The World:
