Elvis Presley

Today(10/Jan) is Elvis's Bday. The first thing that comes to my mind is his stylish side locks. And the next thing that comes to my mind is how a humble lad became a super star. His journey during his transformation is quite motivating to any aspiring individual. Just like another Rajnikanth!!

"When I was a child, ladies and gentlemen, I was a dreamer. I read comic books, and I was the hero of the comic book. I saw movies, and I was the hero in the movie. So every dream I ever dreamed has come true a hundred times...I learned very early in life that: ‘Without a song, the day would never end; without a song, a man ain’t got a friend; without a song, the road would never bend - without a song.' So I keep singing a song. Goodnight. Thank you."
-From his acceptance speech for the 1970 Ten Outstanding Young Men of the Nation Award. Given at a ceremony on January 16, 1971. (Elvis quotes from copyrighted material with lines from the song Without a Song.)
