I'm old enough to remember first hearing it on the news!! Back then, the news started at 6, and they didn't break into any programming to announce it, like they probably would these days. They actually waited until the news broadcast!!

I was in my house playing on the floor and the tv was on in the background. The news came on and it was the top story. I was stunned. I remember I ran next door where my parents were visiting with my neighbors to tell them the news. I always liked Elvis. I remember that his last concert was played on tv not long after his death..

I saw ELVIS in concert a few months before his death at the Richfield Coloseum in my hometown of Cleveland Ohio
