MARIA MULDAUR

blues-pop singer

“I remember that when I was 13 years old, my aunt Olympia bought me Elvis Presley’s first album on Sun Records -- the one with ‘Heartbreak Hotel’ and ‘Blue Moon of Kentucky.’

“I found it years later, and there were these little pink lipstick marks all over the album cover where I had just kissed my hero. It just cracked me up.

“But I’ve got to admit that I just loved Elvis, and he can still make me swoon. I think he’s so sexy and such a great singer, too.”
