Celebrating the Birthday of the King of Rock and Roll
SUMMARY: Elvis Presley, the rock and roll icon from Mississippi, is celebrated on what would have been his 89th birthday on January 8. Known for his extensive music repertoire, movies, and philanthropy, Elvis’s influence is still felt worldwide. Fans in Tupelo or Memphis can join in local festivities, but others can honor him by listening to his music, enjoying his favorite snack of fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches, watching his movies or concerts, or streaming live events from his hometown. Elvis’s Christmas-themed Graceland might also be featured during the celebrations, reminding us of his enduring legacy and timeless music.
