NEW RECOGNITIONS ARRIVE
The two-bedroom house in Tupelo where Elvis was born in 1935 opens to the public. The house was restored by the “East Heights Garden Club” of Tupelo. It is also around this time that a long stretch of Highway 51 South, part of which runs in front of Elvis’s Graceland mansion, is officially renamed Elvis Presley Boulevard. The first of the signs of the new street was established in January 1972.
Elvis’s activity does not stop. At the record level, album and single releases follow one another. These releases continue to enjoy relative success, but there are problems both in production and in the choice of the songs released.
Likewise, on a commercial level, 1971 offers us a magnificent album such as “Elvis Country”, perhaps the only conceptual album of the Tupelo artist’s career and one of the best of the 70’s.
By the end of June and the beginning of July, Elvis is preparing for a new round of concerts, this time in Lake Tahoe, where Col. Tom Parker has closed an agreement with the Sahara Hotel.
