On August 18, 1977, Memphis fell silent under the blazing sun as Elvis’s funeral procession left the gates of Graceland. Leading the way was a white Cadillac carrying his casket, followed by an endless line of white limousines. On both sides of the road, crowds pressed tightly together—some weeping openly, others standing still with folded hands in farewell. Police escorted on motorcycles, yet the people strained toward the procession, as if trying to hold on to a final glimpse of *The King.* That day, the street bearing his name—Elvis Presley Boulevard—became a river of tears, where tens of thousands of hearts beat together in grief. The procession moved slowly, taking nearly four hours to cover only a few miles, as though the world itself could not let him go.
