TRIVIA TODAY - Wednesday, August 18, 2010
Greetings Infomaniacs,
Although it's been 33 years since Elvis Presley's passing,
he most definitely has not been forgotten. This American
icon continues to generate close to $60 million a year in
revenue from royalties and licensing, and still receives great
respect from his countless devoted fans.
Yahoo.com recently featured some little known facts on the
King of Rock 'n' Roll, and I wanted to share some of them
here in case you missed them!
Enjoy!
