There is a stereotyped view of Elvis holed up in Graceland during his later years - but the reality is he didn't spend an awful lot of time there. LA was his base for a lot of the 60s (understandably) and then Palm Springs/Vegas in the 1970s.Jim Dandy wrote:No, he was in Denver with his friends. Don't believe everything they put in a he papers, or write in books!

Does anyone have Memphis Newspaper articles covering ELVIS' birthday from 1977? I would greatly appreciate it if they did and would post them here. I need them for a personal project.Elvis Fan70 wrote:Mister Moon wrote:
Thank you for posting the article...we lived in Memphis at the time and proudly dropped our cards in the box.
Any chance that you - or anyone else on FECC - might have articles surrounding ELVIS' 1977 Birthday Celebration in Memphis? We had joined together with Miss March for an ELVIS display in downtown Memphis for what would be the last gathering of fans for ELVIS' birthday in his lifetime.Besides the display of memorabilia and ELVIS music playing throughout the day, Super 8mm films rolling, a box to gather birthday cards and a wall hanging for people to sign their greetings to ELVIS - a huge birthday cake was on display - donated by IGA Grocery stores. The cake was taken to St. Peter's Orphanage that evening where we had a party for the kids.
Beside the display.films and music - I also provided an assortment of ELVIS goodies for the kids including calendars,photos,posters,buttons and booklets.
Not sure why they reversed the image though...George Smith wrote:Thank you, MM -- at least they chose a nice picture.
