Share:
Elvis Presley is rightly called the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll. He is credited with 54 certified gold singles – more than any other recording artist ever! This coin highlights one of those songs that sold at least 500,000 copies.
Mystic has permanently bonded a vibrant image of Elvis to this uncirculated US Half Dollar. The coin features an original photograph of Presley from his estate’s official archives and is officially licensed by Elvis Presley Enterprises.
Kentucky Rain
The Elvis hit “Kentucky Rain” was written by Eddie Rabbit and Dick Heard. Elvis recorded it on February 19, 1969, at American Sound Studios in Memphis Tennessee. The song spent nine weeks on Billboard’s Hot 100, peaking at number 16. It also appeared on the Country Best-Sellers chart, peaking at number 31. The song featured piano accompaniment by then-unknown Ronnie Milsap.
The success of “Kentucky Rain” helped open the door for a young and virtually unknown songwriter named Eddie Rabbit. Born November 27, 1941, Rabbit began his career in the 1960s recording songs for 20th Century Records and Columbia Records. After moving to Nashville in 1968, he began writing songs for Roy Drusky and George Morgan. His big break came when he wrote “Kentucky Rain” for Elvis. Over the course of his career, Rabbit had 26 number one hits on the Country charts and eight Top 40 pop hits.
