Elvis Death Live 1977

Wow, this is a find.  My partner, Barry Chase, and I were doing an afternoon drive time show on WQXI Atlanta all the way back in 1977 when all of a sudden, our news guy Hank Schmidt told us that Elvis was dead and he needed to go on the air with the Flash/Bulletin.  Well, he did and the rest as they say is history.  Listen to the entire audio and you'll hear reaction as people learned of his death.  He was at the peak of his career when he died and we were on the air to capture history.  Listen for music great Bill Lowery eulogize Elvis.  There's also a clip of former Capricorn founder, Phil Walden, but it was cut out.  Something happened.  The tape I found had to be edited and some of the stuff, because it was on an old cassette had to be edited and processed.  Hope you enjoy!
