    Elvis bookended the 60s with two great albums…Elvis is Back (1960) and Elvis in Memphis (1969). He hand some pretty good albums in between, too - Something for Something for Everyone (1961), Blue Hawaii (1961), Viva Las Vegas (1964)How Great Thou Art (1966), the NBC 1968 (Comeback) Special, and Back in Memphis (1969). Take a listen…you’ll hear vintage rock and rhythm & blues, country, blues, gospel. Oh and btw Elvis was the third most charted artist on the Billboard top album charts in the 1960.
