I Remember Elvis Presley by Danny Mirror, not one of the best Elvis tribute songs and now forgotten, a song recorded shortly after Elvis's demise an obvious cash in.

All American Boy about Elvis going in to the army, credited to Bill Parsons but it was actually country singer Bobby Bare.

Two songs about the folksinger Phil Ochs, "Song For Phil Ochs" by Harvey Andrews and, "Phil" by Tom Paxton. Talking about Tom Paxton he recorded a song with the title, "Anita O.J." I have no idea if it was about the jazz singer Anita O.Day.

How could I have forgot Absent Friends by Divine Comedy a song that name checks Oscar Wilde, Steve Mcqueen and Jean Seberg. A great song with an arrangement like a western movie theme.
