Righting An Egregious Wrong: Black America Salutes the King of Rock’n’Roll

We apologise for the Belated Honor. It was 41 years ago yesterday that Elvis Presley died in his bathroom of a drug overdose.

We did not mean to forget Elvis, just as FOX remembered Aretha Franklin.

Our apologies.

    First of all that’s Wayne Newton and not Elvis Presley.

      Well duh. If you can figure out why FOX Faux News thought Aretha Franklin was Patti Labelle on August 16, 2018, you have won the Christmas Turkey. “They all look alike to us.”

    The King of Rock and Roll was Little Richard or Bo Diddley, not Elvis Presley. For Caucasians he was THEIR king.

      Thank you so much. I was about to say the same thing. Elvis Presley was not the King of Rock and Roll. He was a wannabe.
