Elvis, circa 1977?
Probably late 60s. Oh, this is so cool!
Quick Elvis story...this happened in the late 60’s around the time of Elvis’ Comeback Special when he was very thin and fit and was just starting to play Las Vegas. A bunch of girls went to an Elvis concert and sat all along one row. They brought with them a huge banner. In the middle of the concert in a lull between songs, these girls stood up, unfurled their banner, and all together screamed their banner’s message to Elvis: ELVIS, YOU’RE THE KING!
Elvis stopped dead. The entire arena fell silent. Elvis pointed at the girls and their banner and said, “No, Jesus Christ is the King.” The girls dropped their banner, fell silently into their seats and then shrank like wool sweaters in the dryer.
