Do you remember hearing the news? The King is gone...August 16th 1977

I was watching Tarzan on TV and my mother was ironing clothes when the bulletin broke in with the news. Elvis Aron Presley was dead. My mother turned off her iron and walked down the hall to her bedroom. She shut the door and I didn't see her the rest of the evening. I was raised on Elvis. My earliest memories of playing my ( Mom's) records...Jerry Lee Lewis...The Beatles....and Elvis.
