28 years ago today... ELVIS HAD LEFT THE BUILDING

Random Elvis fact of the day:
Elvis performed in San Diego at the Old San Diego Sports Arena on 4/4-5/56 and 6/6/56. The new Sports Arena was used for shows on 11/15/70, 4/26/73 and 4/24/76. San Diego was also the site of an early TV performance on the Milton Berle Show which was broadcast from the USS Hancock, anchored there.

In Summation:
His talent, good looks, sensuality, charisma, and good humor endeared him to millions, as did the humility and human kindness he demonstrated throughout his life. Known the world over by his first name, he is regarded as one of the most important figures of twentieth century popular culture. Elvis died at his Memphis home, Graceland, on August 16, 1977.
