What? Elvis Lives!!! :) Great article, and great tribute. I was nine years old when he died, but Elvis, Gene Pitney, Gary Puckett, Herman's Hermits, and many more were staples for me. Thanks for the reminder.
Rarely listened to him, but my mother and father went on their first date on the exact night he died, so he's linked to me in that important way.
Nice article about Elvis.
Interesting info about Elvis.
