I was 18 when I wrote this piece back in 1994 for The Elvis Beat #7, my official Elvis Presley Fan Club newsletter.

Elvis: The Tribute, an all-star salute to Elvis, has been announced. It will include a concert to be broadcast worldwide the weekend of October 7. The event will take place at the Pyramid in Memphis and will benefit several charities.

Priscilla Presley said, “We’ve been waiting for the right time, the most sophisticated technology, the greatest performing artists in the world, and the right people to be involved.”

Although no names have been officially announced, the concert portion is to include artists who influenced Elvis as well as artists who were influenced by Elvis.
