Theres a long queue of people outside Graceland, a large house in Memphis, Tennessee.
This was the home of Elvis Presley, a man who, in the 1950s, changed popular music for ever. In
1956 he recorded a song called Heartbreak Hotel, and when young people heard it they were
amazed. His style of music was new and exciting. Suddenly, everyone wanted to listen to rock
and roll and, thanks to Elvis Presley, it spread all over the world. Hundreds of fans are here this
morning. Some of them are carrying photos of Elvis; some of them are listening to his music on
their headphones; some of them are crying. Every year thousands of people visit Graceland to
say their personal goodbye to the man they call the King. When he left school, Elvis became a
truck driver. Then in 1954 he started to make records. He was tall, dark and good-looking. Girls
fell in love with him. Boys wanted to look like him they copied his hairstyle and the way he
moved. During the last years of his life Elviss health wasnt good. He died of a heart attack in
1977 at the age of forty-two. But for many people hes still the King, and the fans are still
crying.
