august 16, 1977 at age 42, the king of rock & roll left us physically but his music still lives on and even after all of us are long gone and even in death he is still earning money. in music he is the best. in dance, michael jackson was and in beauty, it is marilyn monroe. but in compassion for the poor it was princess diana and every one of them are dead. gone so soon and gone so young. time and age is not of importance for it is their talent and accomplishments that we remember :) yes, the icons of our lives as i see it, to make this clear...i love you elvis :>
