 | His Hand in Mine by Elvis Presley
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $3.98 Not just the king of rock, but a fantastic gospel singer too, and a stand up guy.
Sometimes, the biggest artists are the easiest to overlook. Early on we form a conception of them, think we have them figured out, and move on. Elvis is probably the perfect example of this. Everyone has heard of him, but not enough people REALLY know him.
