# CNS2042 - Elvis Presley "Steamroller Blues" US Half Dollar Commemorative Coin
Elvis Presley is rightly called the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll. He is credited with 54 certified gold singles – more than any other recording artist ever! This coin highlights one of those songs that sold at least 500,000 copies.
Mystic has permanently bonded a vibrant image of Elvis to this uncirculated US Half Dollar. The coin features an original photograph of Presley from his estate’s official archives and is officially licensed by Elvis Presley Enterprises.
Steamroller Blues
This coin commemorates “Steamroller Blues,” a blues parody song written and originally recorded by James Taylor. Taylor wrote the song in response to seeing a number of “pretentious white blues bands.” It went on to become one of his major hits and best-known songs.
Throughout the 1970s, Elvis performed “Steamroller Blues” in many of his live shows, including the 1973 Aloha from Hawaii televised program. The song was also included on the live album from that event and was later released as a single. It went on to reach number 17 on the US pop singles chart. Elvis continued to perform the song on tour until his passing in 1977.
