Almost. We were in Memphis just after He died and cars near Graceland reached for miles on Elvis Presley Blvd. People in the street next to their cars weeping. It was a spectacle.

There are some really good documentaries about him from his old original bodyguards ("Memphis Mafia").. At once he was probably the best entertainer in the world, but over time all the pills and the nightlife took it's toll on him. He was a character, no doubt.

We toured Graceland years ago. The most interesting thing to me were his guitars and handguns and his shooting range in his back yard. I want a shooting range in my back yard. roflmao

Place was swank back then, and was notorious for turning a blind eye.

Saw him in 1974 and 1974 at Fort Worth Convention Center. To this day, no other show compares to the show he put on. My mom saw him 1 more time than I did. He pulled up beside her at a red light in Fort Worth and flirted with her in 1957. My mom was a beauty.

Born and live two miles from his birthplace. My dad went to school with him before they moved to Memphis. He used to visit the teachers at our grade school. The whole school would be in a buzz. He'd make his rounds to see them all.

Have always been a EP fan. Never got see him but I was 10 years old when he died. Watched his concerts and movies on TV. His voice is one of a kind and the music timeless.

Went to Graceland. His aunt was still alive and living there at the time.
