Remembering The King

Recently the residents at Mayberry Gardens had a tribute to Elvis and his legacy.  Below are some pictures and interesting facts about Elvis.

Elvis’ famous black hair was dyed.  His natural color was brown

His breakthrough hit was Heartbreak Hotel, released in 1956 – a song inspired by a newspaper article about a local suicide.

Elvis was 6 feet tall and wore a size 11 shoe.

Elvis’ 1960 hit “It’s Now or Never” so inspired a prisoner who heard it in jail that he vowed to pursue a career in music upon his release.  The artist, Barry White, was then serving a 4-month sentence for stealing tires.
