When Elvis Presley walked on stage in El Paso, Texas, on June 2nd, 1976, the King of Rock and Roll showed the world that no matter what, his spark would never fade. It was a warm Texas night when the lights hit his rhinestone suit and that famous grin made the crowd go wild. In that moment, every fan in the arena knew they were about to see something they would carry in their hearts for the rest of their lives.
Elvis did what he always did best, he poured his whole soul into every song. He mixed sweet gospel with old rock and roll hits that had folks out of their seats, clapping in rhythm like it was Sunday morning in church and Saturday night at a dance all rolled into one. You could see him having fun too, winking at the crowd, tossing in a joke, soaking up every cheer that rumbled through the building. He made El Paso feel like the center of the world that night.
