“In 1977, midway through one of his concerts, when Frank was informed that Elvis had died, he switched the lineup of his songs and ordered his band to start playing some of Elvis’ most famous numbers. He sang them, including ‘Love Me Tender’, before informing the stunned audience. ‘We have lost a dear friend tonight. If I know Elvis, the kid’s rockin’ in heaven tonight.’“
