c>log
Elvis, born in Tupelo, Mississippi, on January 8, 1935, would have been 73 years old today had he not died an untimely death in his Graceland mansion bathroom on August 16, 1977. Elvis Presley fans from all over the world are in Memphis to celebrate the King's birthday today.
Today's grand festivities kick off with the cutting of a"super-sized" birthday cake with sprinkles and all the best frosting at Graceland and the annual proclamation of Elvis Presley Day by Memphis and Shelby County officials. There will also be a Gospel Tribute and a special ceremony at Graceland, with fans singing “Happy Birthday” to the singer. In addition, today's Memphis Grizzlies NBA basketball game, in which the team will host the Los Angeles Lakers, will feature Elvis-themed music, performances, and prizes.
An invitation-only Elvis Fan Club President's Event will be held tonight at Fogelmen Executive Conference Center at the University of Memphis. And a "Bears on Tour" Scavenger Hunt at Graceland will be open to the public, featuring special exhibits from the Graceland archives. Local officials are reporting a shortage of candles and chocolate in the metro Memphis area. Most donut shops are having trouble meeting the demand.
