This Special Story was recently shared by

 

 Rockin' Ron Cade during a broadcast of the

 

 Elvis & Friends Radio Show.


 

On June 21,1977, Elvis was on the road for what turned out to be his final tour. On this particular date Elvis had a show in Rapid City, South Dakota. Backstage, the Mayor presented Elvis with a Special Award for being the first artist to perform at the Rushmore Plaza Civic Center. While I am sure Elvis appreciated the Award from the Mayor, he was really touched to his heart by the presentation to him by a little girl named Monique Brave. She gave Elvis a Medallion Of Life on behalf of the Sioux Indian Nation.

This show is also the one that Elvis performed "My Way" with the special ending where he says...... "Till we meet you again may God Bless You, Adios...." This presentation was aired recently on the Elvis & Friends Radio Show and received a tremendous response from the listeners. Thank you Elvis, for the music and the memories and I am happy that you happened in my lifetime!! I miss you my friend.

Special thanks to Elvis & Friends guru.
