Video: RIP Elvis Presley, who died 35 years ago today

The King is dead. Long live The King.

Legendary rocker Elvis Presley died 35 years ago today on Aug. 16, 1977, at the age of 42.

Although he has been gone almost as long as I’ve been alive, Elvis lives on through his music, his movie and the devotion of his legions of diehard fans.

In honor of the 35th anniversary of Elvis leaving this mortal coin, I’m posting a video of the King crooning my favorite Elvis song, “Suspicious Minds,” plus a bonus video of Oklahoma City-based psychedelic rockers The Flaming Lips playing that song:
