In 1955 I was working at Radio Station KOEL, Oelwein, Iowa. One day I took a phone call from a woman asking if the DJ could play "I Forgot to Remember to Forget" by Elvis Presley. I had never heard of Elvis, and had trouble remembering his name and the name of the song. So, I switched the woman's call directly to the DJ. That was the first time I heard of Elvis. Shortly after that Elvis had his first #1 pop hit -- "Heartbreak Hotel". Daniel Kortenkamp
