Elvis Presley "Follow That Dream" 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.

Paralyzed

Elvis recorded “Paralyzed” on September 2, 1956, in the midst of a three-day marathon recording session at Radio Recorders.  It became part of the Elvis album.  The session also produced “When My Blue Moon Turns to Gold Again,” “Long Tall Sally,” “Old Shep,” and “Too Much.”  Three days later, Elvis presented his mother with the legendary pink Cadillac.

“Paralyzed” was written by Otis Blackwell.  Blackwell was a one-man songwriting factory who churned out more than 1,000 songs in his lifetime including “All Shook Up,” “Don’t Be Cruel,” and “Return to Sender.”  Released with “Little Sister” on the flip side, “Paralyzed” spent seven weeks on the charts.
