Abstract

Elvis Presley died on 16 August 1977 - already fifteen years ago! In recognition of this anniversary, I have put together this short article built around the name ELVIS. One of Elvis Presley's record albums (circa 1965) was called "Elvis for Everyone!". It struck me that there was probably a logological slant to this album title, unbeknownst to Elvis Presley and the RCA record company at the time. What the album title really meant was that the letters of ELVIS could combine in turn with every one of the 26 letters of the alphabet in turn to form a valid word, name or term.
