37 Years ago (August 16, 1977), we lost one of the greatest entertainers and pop culture icons of our time. Are you still lonesome for the energy, charisma and incredible voice of the King of Rock-n-Roll? Then head to the Bergen Performing Arts Center for Chris MacDonald's Memories of Elvis in Concert a special memorial celebration of the life and music of Elvis Presley. Elvis Presley, recognized by TIME magazine as the "Artist of the Century," has sold more records than any other artist or group in the history of modern music. Even after death, his image and music continue to be loved and celebrated throughout the world. This July 5, 2014 will be the official 60th Birthday of Rock-n-roll commemorating Sun Records release of Elvis Presley's song "That's all right Mama". With recent number ones on Billboard and Great Britain's charts, songs featured in commercials selling everything from cars to personal lubricants and Heineken, a hologram in the works, theme nights on American Idol and major bio pics in the works, Elvis once again proves he is gone, but not forgotten.
