This weekend Aug 16th is the anniversary of King of Rock 'N' Roll Elvis Presley's death (16th Aug, 1977). I've seen the photo (the top one) framed and hung up at a restaurant somewhere in Thailand. With Aug 16th approaching, I did some research. The photos were taken when the King & Queen of Thailand were visiting USA in June 1960. They met Elvis at Paramount's Hollywood Studios while Elvis was in the midst of filming 'G.I. Blues'. The other lady seated is believed to be his female co-star, Juliet Prowse. So this was when the King of Thailand met the King of Rock 'N' Roll.
It's interesting to note that the King of Rock 'N' Roll "posthumously" was the father-in-law of the King of Pop. Elvis' daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, was married briefly to the late Michael Jackson in the 90s.
