An elvis tribute can be carried out in cities all over the United States and around the world. All age groups love the man, the memory and the music. Women collect Presley memorabilia, go to his tribute concerts and thrill to the sound of his voice.
His first love of music was for gospel songs. The king of rock and roll won three Grammy Awards for gospel recordings. There are complete collections of all his music still being sold.
Grammy number one was given to him for Top Sacred Performance in 1967. His second was awarded in 1972 for the Top Inspirational Performance. Another Grammy was awarded to Presley in 1974 for the Top Inspirational Song.
Long after his death, he was awarded a Grammy posthumously. This was in 1993 in commemoration of his double-sided hit recording of Hound Dog and Dont Be Cruel. Among his many accolades, perhaps the annual candlelight ceremony on the anniversary of his passing remains the most important.
