Help us celebrate Hawaii’s ties to Elvis
Long before Justin Bieber, Michael Jackson or The Beatles, there was Elvis.
Elvis Presley’s name is inextricably linked to the islands thanks to the 1961 film "Blue Hawaii" and his landmark "Aloha from Hawaii" concert on Jan. 14, 1973, that was broadcast via satellite around the globe.
If you were at the history-making concert or are a huge Elvis fan, share your memories, photos and memorabilia for our special coverage of Elvis Week in Hawaii, Jan. 10 to 15, which culminates in the "Elvis Presley Aloha from Hawaii" 40th anniversary screening Jan. 14 at the Blaisdell Arena.
