This coming Monday January 8 will mark what would have been Elvis Presley’s 89th birthday.
And as they do annually, Graceland will be hosting the Elvis Birthday Proclamation Ceremony on the mansion’s North Lawn at 8:30am CST (2:30pm GMT).
For 2024, the free-to-the-public event will include the usual proclamation of Elvis Presley Day by Memphis and Shelby County officials alongside a special appearance by Wink Martindale.
The 90-year-old radio and television personality “witnessed the historic night at WHBQ in July of 1954, when Sam Phillips brought DJ Dewey Phillips the acetate copy of Elvis' first Sun Record That's All Right to be played on Red, Hot, and Blue.”

After Elvis’ record received great reactions from listeners, Martindale (who was a host on WHBQ while a college student) phoned Elvis up since Dewey wanted to interview him about That’s All Right.
Martindale went on to become the host of the TV show Teenage Dance Party on which Elvis, who had become his friend, made an appearance on June 16, 1956.
