WHY WE CHOSE IT: Thousands are converging on Graceland this week to mark the 35th anniversary of the death of pop culture icon Elvis Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977). “The King” was just 42 years-old when news of his untimely death shocked the world, although to this day, fans still claim sightings of the superstar everywhere from burger joints to gas stations.
