Elvis Presley

August 16, 1977

Today marks the thirty-third anniversary of the death of Elvis Aaron Presley. It was the day we lost the idol and icon of my generation. We called him The King! Thanks for the music and memories. R.I.P.

My friend Pat grew up in Tupelo, Mississippi the hometown of Elvis. Pat recalls Elvis returning to Tupelo to visit home and stopping by her high school to sing at her prom. Pat said Elvis never forgot his humble beginnings and was always so proud of his hometown and its people.
