I was 9 years old in 1956, and desperately in love with Kaye Starr. My favourite songs as I recall were "Wheel of Fortune", "Freight Train" and "Last Train to San Fernando". My cousin was 12, and I was deeply in love with her too. One very memorable night she girated to this song on the radio and I flipped. Elvis had arrived.

Nothing was ever the same after that moment... thanks to the King and the effect he had on all of us - Wow!! 1960 was a great time to turn teenager - before that, they hadn't been invented.
