(AP) – Elvis Presley used to dream about building a guest house at his
Graceland property, for friends who would visit the rock ‘n’ roll icon in
Memphis.

Presley didn’t get to see his dream come true, but his fans will. The
Guest House at Graceland is a six-story, 450-room hotel, opening Oct.
27 just steps from Presley’s former home. The exterior, with columns,
arches and a portico, evokes the feel of a comfortable Southern
Colonial home, but the interior design and amenities are modern.

Presley died on Aug. 16, 1977, and Graceland was eventually turned
into a museum. Priscilla Presley, the singer’s former wife and a caretaker
of his legacy, said Elvis had made plans to build a guest house as far back
as 1960. But it was never built, so when people visited Graceland, they
would stay at a Howard Johnson’s down the street.

"This luxury hotel is the most significant enhancement to Graceland since
we opened in 1982," Priscilla said Monday. "This is huge … I feel that it’s
just so right for fans, and our guests, and tourists."

Help! is the fifth studio album by the Beatles, and the soundtrack from
their film Help! Produced by George Martin. The album was voted 331st
on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time".

Glenn Robertson Yarbrough (January 12, 1930 – August 11, 2016)

Yarbrough was a folk singer and lead vocalist with The Limeliters between
1959 and 1963, and had a successful solo career, recording on various
labels.

Yarbrough lost his ability to sing due to complications from throat surgery
at the age of 80. In his last year or so of his life, he suffered from dementia
and was cared for by his daughter Holly in Nashville, Tennessee. Holly
recorded the album "Annie Get Your Gun" with her father in 1997. In May
2016, Holly announced that her father’s health had declined, and announced 
today that he had died the previous night.
