David Bateman was born on the same day that Elvis Presley recorded "Love Me Tender." Since then he has always wanted to be Ann- Margret in Viva Las Vegas. // Patricia Wilson was born on the same day Elvis Presley recorded and sparked the rock and roll era with "That's All Right Mama". Since then she has been chasing the roll wherever she can find it. Peace. //
