A kiss from the King, or something like it.⁠ Born 85 years ago today, Elvis Presley touches tongues with companion Bobbi Owens, backstage at the Mosque Theatre in Virginia, 1956.⁠ Later known as Barbara Gray, Elvis’ date only claimed her place in the famous photograph a few years ago. In an interview with Vanity Fair, Gray recounts first seeing him and thinking “God, he’s beautiful.” ⁠ 📷: Alfred Wertheimer/Getty Images | 30 June 1956 | alfredwertheimer | gettyarchive⁠ ⁠ #elvispresley #theking #graceland #alfredwertheimer #masterofphotography #botd #onthisdayinhistory #musichistory #historyphoto #backstage #elvis #heartbreakhotel #hounddog #bluesuedeshoes #intheghetto #suspiciousminds #youwerealwaysonmymind #americanicon #musicicon #vintagephoto #1950s #thefities #styleicon #archivephoto #photolibrary #gettyimages #gettyarchive
