Elvis Week

Elvis Week

Elvis week takes place every August at Graceland in Memphis, Tennessee. There are tribute contests, “Viva Las Vegas” movie and dance party, Elvis BINGO, 5K run, and candlelight vigil.

That’s me standing in front of Graceland in December 2007. When you live in the Memphis area and guests visit, Graceland is always a must-see. Even on a concert tour, Paul McCartney made a stop at Graceland.

Elvis Aaron Presley was born January 8, 1935 and died on August 16, 1977.  Elvis is referred to as the “King of Rock and Roll” or simply “the King.”

Some of Elvis’ number one singles include:

  • Don’t Be Cruel
  • Hound Dog
  • Love Me Tender
  • All Shook Up
  • Jailhouse Rock
  • Are You Lonesome Tonight?
  • Suspicious Minds

What is your favorite Elvis song?

Okay, now in your best Elvis impersonation: Thank you, thank you very much.
