In 2014, I visited Graceland, Sun Records, Tupelo, Studio B in Nashville. I loved every minute of the tours.

​

Along the way, I picked up Elaine Dundy's beautifully researched biography, Elvis and Gladys. She plunked herself down in Tupelo in the early '80s and talked to everyone. I can't recommend this fascinating book highly enough.

​

I remember hearing Suspicious Minds for the first time in 1969. The thought that went through my head was, "Wow." 

​

Like Secretariat, Elvis was in a class by himself.

​

I hope you enjoy this photo-essay on Elvis as much as I enjoyed creating it.
