In memory of The King

imageToday marks the 32nd anniversary of the death of Elvis Presley.  The King of Rock and Roll passed away on this day in 1977.  It was one of those events where everyone remembered where they were when they heard the news.

I was only a child but I still remember sitting at a friends house when his grandparents were watching the news.  Even though I wasn't an Elvis fan at that time , I somehow knew it was a big deal.

While Presley may not have been the first to do what he did but he was the one who brought Rock and Roll mainstream.  Nobody can deny that. He was the right man at the right time and opened the door for many others behind him.
