My older sister was at his house when he died! They had just showed up at Graceland when the ambulance arrived, saw a body wheeled out on a gurney, and drive off with no sirens, and then heard on the news later he had died. She was like 13 years old and called home to tell us.

She was like 13 years old and called home to tell us. If you don't mind me asking, I'm assuming she was on the outside of the gate? If not, did she know him?

Seen him in mach 1977 at the monroe civic center in La i can still hear his intro had 9th row seats and went to stage to take a pic and was escorted back to my seat by monroes finest amd remember hearing "Elvis has left the building". Have an aunt who has one of his scarfs off his neck.
Same aunts husband produced an elvis impersonater and toured Mississippi and surrounding states and did a show in monroe and was awokenwed bout 2am by my mom who invited him and the band over for breakfast im like wtf is yhe wafflehouse closed or something. His name was tony mcgill he passed sometime around 2012 or so i think.he was pretty good

Had a chance to see him at West Texas Fair in Abilene in the early 70's, I was on the school bus waiting for all the other kids to get back from watching him.. I thought he was kinda gay back then. Never cared for his music. If I had another chance to see him now, I'd still be on the bus.

When Elvis died in 1977, there were 170 people world wide impersonating him. By the year 2000, there were 85,000 Elvis impersonators. At that rate, the number of Elvis impersonators will exceed the predicted world population in the year 2043.

I saw him in the Astrodome at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo in 1974. I was never a big fan but he put on a hell of a show.
