And whammo! I'm right back in Quattlebaum's Music store in downtown Searcy, Arkansas, 1977. I was a wee sprout - 11, I rectum1 - and I guess Elvis had already died in a most ignominous fashion, and "Way Down" was released posthumously.

(and here's where I'm hoping one of my buddies - Caleb? - will actually do the research I'm too harried to do, and give me the real truth behind this veil of lies, half-truths, and outright fabrications)

My Dad had tons of albums of his, everything from movie soundtracks like Blue Hawaii to Christmas albums to Elvis's Favorite Gospel Hymns (yes, I made that title up, but that doesn't preclude its possibly being accurate)

And then this one day - let's say August 16, 1977, although it could be the 13th instead – we were watching General Hospital, and all of a sudden there’s this breaking news bulletin interrupting the show.

Well, since I've been called out on the carpet by name, I guess I better pony up some facts here.

The cover date of The Amazing Spider-Man #252, "Homecoming", was May 1984

Elvis's next-to-last single was "Way Down," released while he was still alive on June 6, 1977

Elvis died August 16th, 1977

Elvis's last single was titled "My Way" and was released posthumously in November of 1977

While there have since been such albums released as Elvis: Gospel Favourites (yes, it was British), the gospel albums released during his life were titled How Great Thou Art, You'll Never Walk Alone and He Touched Me. Interestingly enough, the only Grammys Elvis ever won were for his gospel music.
