5. Blue Suede Shoes: On this date in 1958, Elvis Aaron Presley was drafted into the U.S. Army. Presley was given a student deferment after registering for the draft at age 18. He was given another deferment to finish filming a movie. But in 1958, with the Korean War still going on, Presley was drafted into the Army for a two-year tour of duty. He would return to his throne atop pop music when he returned in 1960. Elvis’ final number one hit was—a Woburn Patch favorite—“Suspicious Minds” in 1969. He would continue to perform into the 70s, before his death in 1977.
