My favourites have already been listed, so I am not going to reply with the same answers.
Of course I can only list the ones I have heard, but there is dozens of them out there. Some but not all, are listed here at this wiki link.

Some others I like that haven't already been listed by other members here
Bill Medley - Old Friend (this is a beautiful sad song paying tribute to the king of rock 'n' roll.)
Tamara Walker - Cry Like Memphis (not sure of the singer. Only a guess)

Bill Parsons - All American Boy (reading the youtube comments, there is some dispute as to who the actual singer is)

Black Velvet probably is the best and most known Elvis tribute other than Crazy Little Thing Called Love by Queen.

I had no idea that song was about Elvis. I was always just mesmerized by how pretty Alannah was and the cool funky song. Boy do I feel like a dummy now.
