36 years ago today I was sitting in my rocking chair watch the nightly news with David Brinkley when he announced the death of Elvis. I was in shock and then started to cry. I remember it so well. I was raised on Elvis. His music and movies filled my childhood and was my idol. I still feel no one has ever had such an impact on American culture and music. He was electric. Many years have passed but his legacy continues to grow.

Here are a few of my favorite Elvis moments.

The entire amazing Aloha From Hawaii concert.
