Song of the Day: Way Down

This day in history, Elvis Presley passed away in 1977 and this is the first year that he has been dead longer than alive. I have featured him quite a bit in my Song of the Day selections, but I felt like I had to today. The right song to choose was the difficult thing about it. I decided to go with the song that was last played on the airwaves while he was still alive. This song reached number one on the country charts and Elvis found quite a bit of success in the country charts in the late 70s. This particular song features the low-down singing of JD Sumner, which is one of the reasons why I love this song, because i’m a gospel music fan as well. This was the last song ever to be played on radios across the country while The King was still living and it is today’s song of the day. Have a great day everyone.
