Today in history

August 15, 1975

Elvis canceled his lease on the Fairchild plane and bought a Jet Commander in its place at a cost of $508,000.
Later in the evening Elvis left Memphis for Las Vegas, but the plane was forced to make an unscheduled stop in Dallas because Elvis had difficulty breathing. After resting for several hours in a motel, he continued the trip.

You know what! In 1965 I was 7 years old and have just 'discovered' Elvis as my two uncles played his records 50.000.000 Fans Can't Be Wrong-Album all the time along with King Creole and some blasting hit singles. Man was I blown away. For birthday I wished to have my own Elvis album, and so I got ' Harum Scarum' from my parents. Man was I confused. Ok, the cover said 'Elvis Presley', but was this really the same man, who made my uncles rock the house to the tunes of I Got Sung a.s.o, who now sleepwalked through songs like 'Go East Young Man' and 'Golden Coins'? Tried to hide my disappointment (hard being only 7), and luckily one of my uncles bought me 'Elvis Is Back' one week later! Yep, HE was back - and from the on I became a lifelong fan - in spite of Harum Scarum, Paradise Hawaiian Style and musical nonsense from the same factory!
