Elvis heard the news when he was in the Gladewater hotel and he pulled into a hotel and cried.
1956
Elvis, Gene Smith and Nick Adams flew back to Los Angeles, where Elvis and Gene checked into the Beverly Wiltshire Hotel.
Elvis met Gene Vincent at least twice in 1956, once in New York on July 3, and again a few months later in Los Angeles. There are no photos of the chance July meeting at Penn Station, although Elvis mentions it in an interview about a week later. Below we have a photo from the second meeting; Elvis Presley, with Paul Peek, Gene Vincent in Los Angeles, CA – Sunday, September 30, 1956.

Again Elvis was at the movies, watching Midnight Cowboy. (A movie he turned down)
Although at home for some time now, Elvis did not often appear at the Graceland gates to meet his fans.
1974
Elvis performed at the University of Notre Dame’s Athletic and Convention Center, South Bend, Indiana.

this is a bizarre LP of mostly movie tracks and rather inappropriately, Teddy Bear
