Happy 89th Birthday to Kenny Lovelace! 🎉 Kenny Lovelace

Today we celebrate the legendary Kenny Lovelace, the man who stood by Jerry Lee Lewis for decades as his right-hand guitarist and bandleader. Known for his incredible talent, loyalty, and unmistakable sound, Kenny has been a driving force in keeping rock ’n’ roll alive across generations.

With his trusted Fender Telecaster, Kenny brought fire and soul to every stage he played on — making history side by side with the Killer himself.

Here’s to 89 years of music, passion, and rock ’n’ roll legacy.
Happy Birthday, Kenny — and thank you for the music! 🎸🔥

🌹 Remembering Elvis Presley 🌹

When Elvis passed away on August 16, 1977, the world stood still. His funeral, held two days later at his beloved home Graceland, was both intimate and monumental. While family and close friends attended the service inside, tens of thousands of fans gathered outside the gates to say goodbye to the King of Rock ’n’ Roll.

The decision to hold the funeral at Graceland turned his home into a place of pilgrimage. Even today, millions visit the Meditation Garden where Elvis rests — a powerful reminder that legends never truly leave us. 💫🎶

August 17 1977
The day after Elvis Presley's death, President Jimmy Carter issues the following statement, "Elvis Presley's death deprives our country of a part of itself. He was unique and irreplaceable. More than twenty years ago he burst upon the scene with an impact that was unprecedented and will probably never be equaled. His music and his personality, fusing the styles of White country and Black rhythm and blues, permanently changed the face of American popular culture. His following was immense and he was a symbol to people the world over, of the vitality, rebelliousness and good humor of his country."

August 15 1964
Despite the fact that the US record charts are dominated by Rock 'n' Roll, crooner Dean Martin has the number one tune with his biggest hit, "Everybody Loves Somebody". It made it to #11 in the UK. The song had been around since 1949 and had been previously recorded by several well known artists without success. When Martin's version pushed The Beatles' "A Hard Day's Night" out of the top spot on the Billboard chart, he sent telegrams to Elvis and to Frank Sinatra saying, "I did it! I knocked 'em out of first place!"
