This week on Stranger Songs: "Thinking About Elvis." Elvis Presley, who died in 1977 at the very young age of 42, is probably the most mythologized figure in the history of popular music. We’ll hear a few of Elvis’s recordings, versions of songs from his repertoire performed by other artists, and songs that were at least partially inspired Elvis.
