Iā€™m excited about the all-star Elvis tribute airing on NBC this Sunday, February 17, and I for one will be glued to my TV.

Thatā€™s the only way Iā€™ve ever seen the King, never in person, only on a screen. I grew up watching the Million Dollar Movie series on TV after school, and Elvis seemed to be featured weekly. Viva Las VegasBlue HawaiiJailhouse RockClambakeā€“Iā€™ve watched his films again and again. And of course, King Creole, which took place right in the French Quarter, not far from my childhood home in New Orleans.

Later I was wowed on a visit to Graceland in Memphis, and my very first online purchase was a pink leather motorcycle jacket with a heart that says, ā€œLove Me Tenderā€ (I still wear it). Hereā€™s a roundup of Elvis stories, including some from Angels on Earth, for all my fellow fans. Donā€™t miss the one by an actual Elvis impersonator!

Don’t forget to tune into the two-hour, star-studded special Elvis All-Star Tribute on NBC Sunday, Feb. 17 at 9 p.m. ET/PT. Fans can also check out “The Best of the ā€™68 Comeback Special,ā€ the companion album to the concert. The albumā€”released by RCA/Legacy Recordingsā€”features remastered recordings that inspired the special, plus three original studio recordings.
