Elvis is Irish…
Speaking of Elvis yet again, (see yesterday’s news again) listeners to the very Bowie-friendly Ian Dempsey’s Breakfast Show on Today FM in Ireland, may have heard an approximation of what might have been in 1977, had Elvis taken delivery of that Golden Years tape before his tragic death.
The show has been exclusively broadcasting Elvis impersonator Kevin Doyle‘s rendition of the track in recent weeks. Kevin, along with his group Elvis – The Way It Was (pictured above) performed the song at the behest of BowieNetter Chris Gaffney, and now it has become a favourite with listeners to the show.
As a result, Today FM decided to post the song on its website for everybody’s listening pleasure, and you can finally hear Elvis singing his hip-shaking, lip-curling rendition of Golden Years by going here and scrolling down to the shortcut to the song.
Thanks to Chris, Kevin, Elvis – The Way It Was and Ian and Adelle at Today FM for making all this possible…not to mention The Thin White Duke and The Pelvis.
