flickchick, for some reason, I had to go back to '77 to try and think what happened in late Summer/Fall....OPEC if I recall correctly was in the middle of another embargo (gas prices, etc.) but that wouldn't have been a DAY of mourning....then I suddenly thought of Evlis, and DID look up his info online....died in August, '77 to be exact. So, I've got my guess. Can't promise not to look at your info now.....but there will be no edit to this post...;). For whatever reason, never liked Elvis' stuff that much as a kid, but it has grown on me....so now, I DO get to peek and see if my guess was right....couldn't think of anything else from that time that might've done that...
