New Delhi: Elvis Presley continues to rule hearts as was quite evident when fans thronged his exhibition in Memphis. The star of such superhits tracks like Jailhouse Rock and Heartbreak Hotel as well as films like King Creole is one of the most sought-after celebs even 30 years after his death.

“Listening to Elvis sing makes me feel better. He was that talented, to where I feel good when I listen to him sing,” says an Elvis fan, Jim Stafford

Berlin was also witness to the Elvis mania. An exhibition held in the city had on display stage outfits, suits, jewellery, letters and even a bedspread from Elvis' mansion in Memphis.

"He's dead good. He can sing, he can dance, he's probably one of the most handsome men you'll ever see anywhere. He had a charisma about him that people are just drawn to. Little children grow up watching his movies, they become Elvis fans when they're very, very young. So, when they're older they're still Elvis fans. This will go on - I think – forever,” says Elvis Photographer, Ed Bonja.

Elvis' died on the August 16, 1977 and it sure seems that even three decades later - the magic of the "King of Rock N' Roll" lives on.
