The King was primarily categorized as a rock star. The truth is, he did quite a bit of country songs and loved gospel music. In fact, he had Grammy Awards for his gospel recordings.
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. It was in 1993 for the double sided record Hound Dog and Dont Be Cruel. Each year in August, fans converge on Memphis from all over the world. They stand in a line for hours just to walk up the hill and pause at his grave for a moment to remember him.
Every year, on August sixteenth, fans travel from all over the planet to attend. Each carries a candle and stands in line quietly waiting to file past his grave to remember him. He died at the early age of 42 years. It is a somber ceremony with sad faced and crying people gathering to honor him.

The most talented are working to earn a living as Presley impersonators. Clubs, stage shows and private parties are clamoring to hire them. Tours go to cities all over the US.
One new show is called From Graceland to the Promised Land and two acts are touring in it. They are a gospel group and one single performer from Australia. Audiences love to listen to the music and also hear about the history of Presleys gospel music background in addition to the rock music he performed.
The impersonators, who prefer to be called tribute performers, compete in a variety of contests for a variety of titles. One is the prestigious Spirit of Elvis Award. The kings voice, his dance moves, which were once called indecent, and his looks are done to perfection by the best of the best.
Festivities in Memphis are attended by fans from all over during the week surrounding his passing. Men in white jumpsuits with eagles on the back and blue suede shoes proliferate in the city. Fans enjoy stage shows and concerts.
Fans collect stuffed hound dogs and purchase memorabilia of all kinds. There are earrings made to look like records, t-shirts bearing his face and telephones made to look like pink Cadillac cars. People eat peanut butter and banana sandwiches.
Elvis Lives is an elvis tribute show that has a schedule to tour many cities. A festival takes place in Europe. Graceland is one of the most frequented tourist locations.
