ELVIS PRESLEY, FRANK SINATRA and FRED ASTAIRE at Nancy Sinatra's opening night party, which was also celebrating the closing night for Elvis, at the International Hotel in Las Vegas, in 1969. Elvis's bodyguard, Joe Esposito, is in the background. "Elvis was a prince," says Mr. Abolafia. "He would give you the shirt off his back."

That picture is a great snapshot in time of two people I truly admire. It's crazy that both are dead now yet you can look at that picture and see them in a moment you weren't even alive in. Peace

And look how alive they looked. Especially Elvis...so beautiful and vibrant. What I'd give to have this moment relived today.
