Below is a video that I enjoyed viewing because it was filmed inside and around Graceland before it was opened in 1982.

Don Lane was an American-born talk show host and singer, best known for his TV career in Australia, including The Don Lane Show, which ran from 1975-1983. Here’s a high-quality recording of Don Lane live at Graceland in 1982. His guests include Billy Smith, Janelle McComb, Mary Jenkins, George Klein and Vester Presley. This program appears to have been shot just before Graceland opened to the public. You’ll see the Trophy Room, mid-renovation. The Kitchen is shown, years before it opened for tours. You’ll love the special access Lane was given. And, you’ll hear interviews and memories from some of those closest to Elvis.

Elvis wrote this letter in Las Vegas on the Hilton letterhead in December 1976.  Any fan should feel so much sympathy for him and understand the deep need he had for getting out of that lifestyle.  I will never understand how anyone who truly loves and cares about Elvis the man cannot feel joy knowing that he did find a way out and into a new private life on August 16, 1977.  I am so thankful that he is still here with us to this day.

Wayne Newton bought the above letter at auction and turned it into the below beautifully recorded song.
