                  it's hard to argue with that date as well , music has died 3 times to millions of fans if you ask me

                    Still remember that. Didn't realize today was the 16th.
                    Always been a big Elvis fan.

                        Not for me....Buddy Holly et al. were nothing but a distant memory by the time I was 10 years old. When Elvis died it was a BIG thing....still remember exactly where I was when I heard the news.

                          Was never a big Elvis fan, but I remember my mother breaking down in the living and crying when she got the news.

                              Elvis was my Hero. I had a Ticket to his last Concert here in Portland, Maine. He died 2 Days before the Concert. I was devastated.
