MEMPHIS, Tenn. (August 15, 2009)--Elvis Presley fans who flock to Memphis this weekend to remember the day Presley died are also being encouraged to celebrate the 40th anniversary of his final No. 1 hit single, "Suspicious Minds."
While they can tour Graceland, the estate where he died 32 years ago, or Sun Studio, which helped make him the King of Rock 'n' Roll, the Elvis faithful can't see the place where that hit record was made.
There's nothing left to remind people of the sessions that produced the "From Elvis in Memphis" album.
American Sound Studio folded in 1972 and the building was later torn down.
In its place are a beauty shop and a crumbling parking lot.
Chips Moman, who ran the studio, says he hasn't been back to the site. In his words: "I put it out of my mind."

It's exceptionally had to believe the 'only-real' King of Rock-n-Roll has been dead 32 years and would have been 74 years old this last January. Rest-in-Peace EP. We still miss you.
HE WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED. R.I.P. KING
