MP3 Of The Day has been relocated to here.
We're Caught In A TrapReleased in 1969, Suspicious Minds was the last single to reach #1 during Elvis' lifetime.
The 1973 live concert album "Elvis - Aloha from Hawaii" was Elvis' last album to top the U.S. charts.
The "Aloha" concert made television and entertainment history as the first live satellite broadcast. It attracted 37.8% of the viewers in Japan, 91.8% in the Philippines, 70% in Hong Kong, 70-80% in Korea and upwards of 51% in America, which is more than viewed man’s first walk on the moon. In total, it is seen in about 40 countries by an estimated 1 to 1.5 billion people.
Elvis commissioned a special American Eagle jumpsuit for the performance to show his patriotism to the world. The sequined suit is probably his best known, and including cape, weighed over 50 pounds.
Throughout his life Elvis remembered his humble beginnings and donated greatly to charities and individuals. Performance and merchandise sales from the "Aloha" concert raised $75,000 for the Kui Lee Cancer Fund in Hawaii.
