I saw this on Deviantart and it looks just like a album he would’ve if he lived.
 
I wonder how popular Elvis would be with the teenagers of the late 70s/early 80s. For those who were around back then, was Elvis getting airplay on rock radio at the time, or was he mostly an oldies/nostalgia act?

Oldies. After all, he hadn't had a release in quite a while by the early 80s with the exception of Christmas time, when some of his Christmas songs get thrown into the mix.
 
Factoid: Willie Hugh Nelson was born 2 years before the King. He's 82. Tony Bennett is 88.
A point is that these two became representatives of discrete styles they managed to preserve to the present. By the late seventies, Elvis was becoming dated against the move from disco to punk rock/new wave.
