This is a BBC Radio online vote for your favourite Elvis song. So hard to choose!!! The songs are listed and you get 5 votes, and the results will be broadcast on New Year's Day.

Aaah. I love so many of them but as I grew up with them because my Dad was a great fan, I knew Elvis's early songs when I was still at primary school and they have great memories for me.

Here's the link:

Are you lonesome tonight makes me laugh. Not sure his heart was in it.
Always on my mind (& Old Shep just because old dogs deserve an Elvis song))

I just can’t help believing, in the ghetto and suspicious minds. Sorry hard to pick just one! The first Christmas present my late husband bought me was an Elvis album and despite selling a lot of my old ones, I can’t part with that one. It’s 30 years next Friday since he died age 39, leaving me and two very young children. I still miss him.

They played You were always on My Mind at my Mum’s funeral because she loved that song. It’s a bit sad, listening to to the words.

It’s Now or Never reminds me of my mum who used to sing it every morning as she was getting up and going for a bath!😄

I love anything sung by Elvis but my favourite is Such a Night.
