The King: Dead and Well on Ask.com
Yesterday marked the 30th Anniversary of Elvis Presley's death, and while we don't normally commemorate the anniversary of someone's death…well, he's the king. If you want to remember him today from your desk, here's a little help courtesy of Ask 3D:
Elvis Images
There's no shortage of Elvis images online, and Ask.com Image search lets you choose from a variety of criteria. Our left-rail content lets you go deeper than just the standard publicity and news photos: you get album covers, Graceland interiors, movie posters and a lot more.
Meanwhile, our news search is finding stories on those who are remembering the king from Dayton to Jerusalem. Our News Images search surfaced a great AP story about Mississippi and Tennessee getting a serious economic boost from increased memorabilia purchases and pilgrimages Elvis's places of birth and death (respectively).
Elvis & Health
Elvis was no stranger to health problems: glaucoma, pleurisy, hypertension, insomnia, and the one he apparently died from, cardiac arrhythmia. We have Smart Answers and right-rail "morph" content that give you info on those conditions and more. And if you want to know more about his infamous prescription drugs, like Dexedrine and Codeine, Ask.com has you covered there as well.
Elvis on Video
We'll finish up with a few great example of how Elvis lives on in Ask.com Video Search. Here's a few hits our Video Search picked up:
A classic from his 1970 TV special:
Elvis Presley - That's All Right
A clip I had no idea existed: Elvis duets with Frank Sinatra. Mind the screaming girls, and Joey Bishop.
Frank Sinatra & Elvis Presley Sing Together
And here's arguably the best Elvis impersonator, Andy Kaufman, doing the King
on no less than The Johnny Cash show.
