They loved each other tenderly

"Eventhough there's a lot of people saying that Elvis didn't love Priscilla, I think that this statment is very much wrong. Because, no man could ever be obligated to marry a woman he doesn't love and have a child with her. I do think they loved each other. Elvis loved Priscilla until the last breath he breathed."

After their romance in Germany, Priscilla was devastated when Elvis left for United States, and in one of the interviews said that she was: "No one special, no big romance!". Soon after leaving, Elvis called Priscilla and started to make plans to bring her over to America. But, there were several obsticals to make that dream come true. He was still dating Anita Wood, who was living on Graceland, Priscilla was only fourteen years old, she didn't even finish her school, and if the press knew, they would burry Elvis.

Aug.16th 1977, THE KING IS DEAD!

On this day, 34 years ago, world lost a legend. His talent, good looks, sensuality, charisma, and good humor made him THE KING! Known the world over by his first name, Elvis is one of the most important figures of twentieth century popular culture. And as John Lennon once said: "Before Elvis there was nothing!" Long live the king! You will always be in hearts of your true fans! We love you!

Welcome to Graceland mansion!

Every king has his castle! So it was with Elvis. He purchased his castle in 1957, and moved there with his mother Gladys and father Vernon.

Graceland is a large white-columned mansion estate that was home to Elvis Presley in Memphis, Tennessee. It is located at 3764 Elvis Presley Boulevard. It was built in 1939. In early 1957, Elvis bought Graceland for $102,000 from Ruth Moore. He was 22 years old at the time. Graceland was Elvis' final home in Memphis and it is where he died in 1977. Elvis lived there for 20 years with his daughter Lisa Marie, wife Priscilla since 1963 until they divorced in 1972 and his father. Elvis also lived there with his girlfriend Linda Thomson in 1973. Elvis died on August 16th 1977 in his bathroom upstairs on Graceland. His ex-wife, Priscilla, opened Graceland to the public as a museum in 1982. Lisa Marie inherited Graceland when she was 25 years old. Today, Graceland is a museum, but family Presley comes back to Graceland to celebrate Christmas.
