He struggled with chronic pain, severe digestive issues, migraines, glaucoma, and an inherited heart condition that gradually weakened his body.

Elvis never saw money as something to collect. He saw it as something that could change another person’s life. Helping people was not an occasional gesture. It was simply part of who he was.

There is something about this photograph that makes people stop scrolling. For just a second, it feels as though Elvis Presley has come home again. The familiar walk, the gates of Graceland, the quiet atmosphere… everything looks so real. Yet the man in the picture is not Elvis at all. It is an actor during the filming of This Is Elvis in 1981. Somehow, that only makes the image more moving.

Nearly 65,000 people came to the University of Oklahoma’s football stadium on July 6, 2013. Toby Keith had brought them together to help Moore, the town where he grew up, recover from a deadly tornado. The May 20 storm had struck people he knew personally. About six weeks later, he gathered fellow country artists for a benefit that gave neighbors a chance to share an evening of music. Garth Brooks made his first Oklahoma appearance since 1997. Trisha Yearwood, Ronnie Dunn, and Willie Nelson also performed, with Toby joining Willie for two songs. Tickets cost $25, and ticket proceeds supported tornado relief. During his own set, Toby put an Oklahoma spin on a familiar party hit. He asked the stadium to sing it loud enough for Moore to hear. The event raised roughly $2 million for recovery. Do you remember which song became that enormous Oklahoma singalong?

Norma Strait heard the finished album and knew a song was missing. George had decided against recording it, and the musicians were already putting their instruments away. It was 2013. While making Love Is Everything, George had set aside a song he wrote with his son Bubba and Dean Dillon. The news from Newtown, Connecticut, months earlier had moved him to help write it. He and Norma knew the pain of losing a child. Their daughter, Jenifer, had died at thirteen in 1986. George wanted to offer something meaningful to the grieving families, but he feared the recording might deepen their hurt. He left it off the session list. Norma felt it needed to be heard. At her insistence, George called the musicians back and asked them to unpack for one more song. It appeared on Love Is Everything that May and became a single later that summer. Which George Strait song did Norma persuade him to record?

Among a box of demo cassettes Anne Murray considered in 1977, one song made her pause. She set it aside, wanting another listen before choosing material for her next album. The second time, it hit even harder. “When I went back and listened to that song, I had to actually sit down,” she recalled years later. Randy Goodrum had written it. Long before the song reached millions, Anne heard something in that simple recording she wanted to make her own. That conviction followed her into the studio. She remembered listening to the playback with everyone involved and feeling certain they had a hit. In 1978, it topped the Billboard Hot 100. A year later, Anne won the Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Performance, Female. Can you name the Anne Murray song that started with that cassette?

Merle Haggard had a different follow-up in mind after “Okie from Muskogee” won him a conservative following: a love song about a white man and a Black woman. Capitol turned it down. The story followed childhood friends whose feelings deepened as they grew older, only to face the racial boundaries around them. Merle wanted listeners to hear a side of him that “Okie” hadn’t shown. This was 1969, less than three years after interracial marriage became legal nationwide. Capitol’s country chief, Ken Nelson, told him, “Merle, I don’t believe the world is ready for this yet.” Haggard later recalled it as the only time Nelson intervened in his music. The label instead released a forceful response to Vietnam War protesters. It reached No. 1, reinforcing the public image Merle had wanted to broaden. His love song finally appeared in 1972, ninth on an album’s track list. It never became a single. Merle nevertheless called it his favorite because it “tells it like it is.”
