But old enough to know when he passed away. He changed modern music ......forever.

I believe that concert was televised world wide....for free.

I had friends who saw him in Las Vegas in the 70's...
Powerful video - Elvis seemed to live in 2 worlds, but when he sang the spiritual songs, you could see his heart.

I read Michelle Bachman said something about Elvis' birthday on Aug. 16th. What a gaffe.
It was the anniversary of his death.
Michelle needs to get better informed handlers.........or learn not to mis-speak......or just shut up period.
