Elvis Week draws thousands of fans
every year to Graceland, Elvis' longtime home in Memphis, for a celebration of
his life and death. The festivities are set for Aug. 10-16. This year's Elvis
Week is highlighted by a concert with a live band and real backup singers
performing in front on a large LED-screen with a virtual Elvis belting out
tunes.
Events also include the finals for the tribute artist contest; a
documentary about Sam Phillips, who discovered Elvis; and the vigil at Elvis'
grave at Graceland. It's been 55 years since Elvis' first national hit,
"Heartbreak Hotel." He died Aug. 16, 1977.
