Elvis in the Gossip magazines

Comment on this article

View Elvis in the Gossip magazines #2

Before he died in August 1977, Elvis was a popular front cover story for the as popular TV & film "gossip" magazines. His death largely ended the "sensationalist" front page Elvis headlines in these magazines (leading to the even more sensational "Elvis" claims in the conspiracy driven tabloid magazines such as the National Enquirer, Star and Weekly World News).

EIN has entered the archives to revisit a number of the amazing headlines involving Elvis. In this pictorial article we present more than 25 color covers from bygone days. We hope you enjoy our "visual" look back at what once was an important part of the 'pop culture' Elvis Presley story:
