Marilyn: I remember that hot (very hot), humid August day in Memphis in 1977. There was a wide range of immediate reaction, including a lot of disbelief that the report of his death was even true. There also just happened to be a large Babtist Church convention in town, and of course Elvis recorded a lot of spiritual music, and the convention was quite devastated, by the news, and then the circumstances of his sad passing.
A couple of Cape-related notes on Elvis: One of his religious albums has a Sandwich church photo on its cover, and Elvis included a special version of “America the Beautiful” (poem by Falmouth’s Katharine Lee Bates) during his 1976 American Bicentennial year.-Glenn R.

I feel sorry for you, missing out on all the years of Elvis, I do not only love Elvis for Elvis, I love him for the warm, tender, generous, kind hearted, fan loving(can`t say that about many artists these days) caring person that he was. Elvis not only gave himself but gifts to numerous charities etc, If you watch some of the dvd“s about him you will see what I am saying is true. I have many friends I have met because of Elvis and although I never saw him in concert I recently returned from a trip to Memphis and saw all the love and adoration still being given to him 32 years after his death. 600,000 people a year still passing through the gates of Graceland can`t be wrong. Name me ANYONE ese who has this pulling power. As for you laughing the day Elvis died, I would say you are perverted, You should not laugh at anyone`s death unless of course they are criminals. Oh well, your loss.

I know that Elvis’s grandmother was Cherokee Indian. That is where he got his faceplates from his grandmother.
