“When I was 11 years old and watched Elvis wow them at the Providence Civic Center, I couldn’t have known that years later I’d be playing his records on the radio across the United States (and now around the world.)  Elvis’ voice, his charisma and his style made such an impression on me. Now I get a thrill when I hear from listeners from seven to seventy that are just being turned on to him.” -Jay Gordon quoted in the liner notes to RCA’s Elvis Presley – Artist of the Century
