All Shook Up in the Home of the King


Elvis sold one billion records worldwide, had eighteen ‘number ones’, fourteen Grammy nominations (three wins), a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, Gold, Platinum and Multi-platinum awards for 150 albums and singles – and was, of course most famous for his foot-tappin, finger-snappin, pelvis-swayin rock and roll sound.

Today, Elvis Aaron Presley remains the top earner of deceased recording stars and no doubt the King of Rock and Roll music everywhere. ……everywhere around the world in fact.

Elvis’s home Graceland is here for everyone to visit. There are two occasions during each year that his home is packed with fans. Those are of course his birthday and the day marking his death. Fans come from around the world to visit his home and see it exactly as it was when he was alive and well. This attraction spans several generations. This is very evident as his last number one hit was only seven years ago…many years after his death. Elvis was a top performer and entertainer in Las Vegas and was a generous man with his fame and wealth.
Don’t miss seeing his home when you visit Memphis or if you relocate to the Memphis Mid-south area.
