August 16 - Elvis Left The Building, 38 Years Ago

Today marks the 38-year anniversary of Elvis Presley's passing on August 16, 1977. The “King of Rock and Roll” was found dead Aug. 16, 1977, at his “Graceland” home in Memphis, Tennessee, at age 42.

Elvis Presley became a legend with his baritone voice and songs such as "Hound Dog," "Heartbreak Hotel" and "Blue Suede Shoes." By the time Presley was 30, he had become the highest-paid singer in the history of the business at the time. In his obituary, the New York Times noted that his "blatant sexuality redefined popular music."
