A Tribute to The King
by Tony WhitakerThat's all right mama
hips unfolding rock and roll
thankyaverymuch 10/13/2007 Author's Note: My tribute to "The King". I lived in Memphis in 1970-71 and had the chance to shake his hands through the gates of Graceland. He was riding a Palomino horse and I still remember him saying "How y'all doin'?" to about 40-50 fans. I was only sixteen and wanted to see the man who had changed music forever.
