Insane stat.
From January 1956 to December 1957 Elvis spent 80 weeks at no. 1 on either the US singles or albums charts.
For a 2 year stretch, 77% of the time the no. 1 album or single on a given week was by Elvis Presley.
Insane!

OTD in 1965 'Crying in the Chapel' reached no. 3 in the US.
Arguably, this was the beginning of Presley's Comeback.
Exactly one year later Elvis would record I'll Remember You.
In 1967, Presley released the Album "How Great Thou Art" which won a Grammy.
The rest is history

One of the many misconceptions about Elvis is that he is just a singer, not a musician.
Elvis could play Guitar, piano, and Bass.
He often did not because the instruments restricted his movements on stage and he liked to allow the music to move him.

Elvis Presley is rehearsing "Get Back" (by The Beatles). I didn't expect Elvis to be such a good guitar player - he performed brilliantly here!

Cubs are the oldest Baseball team.
Bears are the oldest Football team.
The Blackhawks are an Original Six NHL Franchise.

Had fun talking baseball with George Foster!
Only guy from 1966-89 with a 50-HR season. He signed my 1987 @wthballs career capper.

Bad teams don't win 20 out of 23 games.
This Cubs team is better than this.

Chicago has plenty of cap space and need defense

The Oilers are looking to trade Darnell Nurse as soon as possible, per @SportsnetSpec 👀
GM Stan Bowman will meet with Nurse in the coming days, but that $9.25M cap hit will be challenging to move 😬
