Had he lived long enough, Elvis Presley would have been 90 today. From his Wiki profile:

“His first public performance was a singing contest at the Mississippi–Alabama Fair and Dairy Show on October 3, 1945, when he was 10; he sang “Old Shep” and recalled placing fifth.”

I think we can all take some comfort from that.
