Where were you & how old?

I was 25 yrs old and cried like a baby. I loved the king. His voice was so beautiful.

I was 9 and both my father and I were upset. We visited Graceland but the house wasn't open yet. Now I take my father to the Collingwood Elvis Festival (the world's largest one) every year.

i was 9 yrs and 1 days (bth is the 15th aug) and i remember mum taking my friend and i to the drive in to see 2 Elvis movies - i crashed out and dont think i saw the feature movie much to my friends annoyance but she was a night owl. i remember being sad that he had died.

I was 7 and I can remember my mom coming home and she looked like she had been crying. She said Elvis had died. It was very quiet around the house for a few days except for the tv coverage that she watched constantly. Long live the KING!

I was 9 months old. I too wish that I could have seen the King.

I was just out of college and was test driving a new Pontiac Trans-Am when the news came on the radio. (I bought the car)

I was 11 years old and I remember that my dad was cooking hamburgers out on our barbecue grill, so my mother, dad and I were outside. The Baptist Preacher and his wife, who lived next door to us, came over and told us about it as soon as they had heard the story on the evening news.

I was 17, at work in California. My co-worker came in the office crying, which I thought was odd. I think that is the only reason I remember. Mom and Dad didn't play Elvis records at all. Now that I live in Mississippi, I have a much greater appreciation for who he was.

I was just about to make my debut into the world.

I was about 8 months old! So I am sure you can guess... I dont remember it at all

[WeasleRocky]

I was just a bit over 3 yrs old and of course dont remember a bit about it... My mom really liked him...

He passed away 5 years before I made my entrance into the world. But my Mom is a HUGE Elvis fan
