Elvis is Dead - Ladies and Gentlemen, Elvis has left the planet

Young Elvis Pop Art Tribute

Elvis died 32 years ago today. He would be 74 today had he not died of congestive heart failure on this date in 1977. I thought you might like to see some of the videos I found on Elvis from the coverage of his death, his last song ever sung and his last concert.

Though Elvis has been gone for over three decades his music and his kingdom live on. On this day, as we celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the original Woodstock, it is fitting that we take note of the passing of a musical legend who inspired so many of the performers who took the stage in the cow pasture in Bethel, New York. RIP Elvis - you paved the way.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Elvis has left the building.
