The Day the King Died


28 years ago today, the music industry and the whole world for that matter suffered a great loss in the death of Elvis Aaron Presley. Born January 8, 1935 to mother Gladys and father Vernon in Tueplo, Mississippi. Some of you may not know that Elvis had a twin brother, Jesse Garon, who was stillborn.

No one could ever imagine that this little boy would change music forever and make it what it is today. No matter what anyone says, Elvis will always be the King!!

Even today, Elvis is still number one... he is the highest grossing "deceased" entertainer to date. The Elvis name still brings in an annual income of 40 million dollars. That's pretty impressive even for a "live" entertainer.
