DeSoto Magazine – Fit for a King: Commemorating the 40th Anniversary of Elvis’s Death
August 2017 – DeSoto Magazine
In the four decades since Elvis Presley died, John Lennon was shot to death. The Berlin Wall came down. Viagra was launched. New York’s Twin Towers tumbled. The Internet took over. We elected our first black president. We elected Donald Trump. The world has changed in a trillion ways, both small and significant since 1977.
But one thing has remained the same: Elvis Presley is one of the planet’s most beloved entertainers. According to Forbes, The King sold more than one million albums last year, and Graceland remains the second-most visited home in the United States, behind the White House.
