The last chapter for the “King of Rock 'n Roll” in Memphis, Tennessee. That's where singer Elvis Presley dies at his Graceland Mansion 1, at age 42. Heart disease and years of prescription 2 drug abuse are the causes of Presley's death. But Elvis' music and his popularity as the greatest star of rock's early years live on.
1948,In New York, the world of baseball loses a larger-than-life icon 3: hall-of-famer Babe Ruth.

And 1958, Like a virgin 7, touched for the very first time.
