January 8, 2015 would have been Elvis Presley's 80th birthday. Many fans from around the world travelled to Memphis to share in the celebration. Fan club member and published photographer, Bob Klein, was one of those fans. Although he was fortunate to make the trip, not all our members and Elvis' friends were able to attend. So we thought to share a review of the Birthday Celebration with members, fans and friends from behind the lens of Klein's camera.
"It has been six years since I been to Memphis" said Klein. "I was looking forward to the trip with some great longstanding friends and some new ones. I really wanted to photograph the events at Graceland and I hope you enjoy the photos as much as I do."

Graceland Mansion - Memphis, TN. - Christmas trees bring the spirit of the holidays in both the living room and formal dining room. The TV room in the basement with 3 televisions is all Elvis style with the trademark lightning bolt (TCB) on the wall. The now converted racquetball court walls now aligned with jumpsuits, gold records and awards. The famous blue lights light up the driveway to Graceland with the moon "shining bright".
