Died On This Date (August 16, 1977) Elvis Presley / The Only King America Has Known
Elvis Presley
January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977
Elvis Presley was born in a two-room shotgun house built by his father in East Tupelo, MS on January 8, 1935. He had an identical twin brother named Jessie Garon Presley. Elvis arrived about 30 minutes later. And though he never met his brother, his life and ours would no doubt have been a hell of a lot different if he had. 42 years later, Elvis’ fiancee, Ginger Alden found his lifeless body. You better already know the rest.
