Commemorating the 25th anniversary of Elvis Presley's death, 30 #1 HITS presents a career-spanning serving of the King's chart-toppers. Dating back to "Heartbreak Hotel" (which was inspired by a suicide note printed in the Miami Herald), most of these cuts have become indelibly etched into the fabric of pop culture and each has a unique story behind it. "Love Me Tender" has its origins in the Civil War ballad "Aura Lee," "It's Now Or Never" found Elvis Americanizing the Neapolitan ballad "O Sole Mio," and "Wooden Heart" likewise was converted from a German children's song. This Memphis native's choice of artists to cover was equally intriguing and includes Hollywood legend Al Jolson ("Are You Lonesome Tonight?"), New Orleans soul shouter Smiley Lewis ("One Night"), blues great Big Mama Thornton ("Hound Dog"), and country titan Hank Snow ("[Now And Then There's] A Fool Such As I"). Further testimony of Presley's long-lasting appeal is the inclusion of the JXL Radio Edit Remix of "A Little Less Conversation," a UK #1 that not only enabled Elvis to have more chart-toppers than The Beatles, but also became a hit in a number of other countries including the United States.

Reviews This CD was excellent. It has an unbelievable number of songs on it for the money-and they are all Elvis' number on hits on one CD’s. Price was so much cheaper than buying at a store or CD club. It now makes me want to travel to Memphis to see and hear Graceland. Review ID: 10000000007749356 Was this review helpful?

Starting with his first #1 hit, "Heartbreak Hotel", and concluding with the 2002 #1 smash remix hit "A Little Less Conversation". This album is a superb addition to any Elvis Fan's collection or a great way to introduce those unfamilar with the King's music to some of the best Rock-N-Roll of all time.
