貓王去世35週年紀念演唱會週三晚在孟婓斯FedEx廣場舉行，其中當然少不了當紅時貓王的經典演唱畫面搭配演出，他的前妻Priscilla與女兒Lisa Marie也都出現在錄影中。曾長期擔任貓王鼓手的DJ Fontana，吉它手James Burton與鋼琴伴奏Glen Hardin都應邀參與。鄉村歌曲名人堂也舉辦很多活動配合這個值得紀念的日子。Priscilla與女兒Lisa Marie Presley則上了電視節目。事實上一連串的展覽、活動、發表會與促銷早就安排好了，七月時有一本歌迷珍藏彙編的書I Am an Elvis Fan就相當暢銷，還有一套貓王1972年演唱會記事則將於十月底在紐約麥迪遜花園廣場公開發行。貓王Elvis Presley（1935-1977）是歷年暢銷歌星排行榜第1名的超級巨星，他在排行榜上最後一首冠軍曲是1969年的Suspicious Mind。
Suspicious Mind(words & music by Mark James)
We're caught in a trapI can't walk outBecause I love you too much baby
Why can't you seeWhat you're doin' to meWhen you don't believe a word I say?
We can't go on togetherWith suspicious minds (Suspicious minds)And we can't build our dreamsOn suspicious minds
So, if an old friend I knowDrops by to say helloWould I still see suspicion in your eyes?
Here we go againAskin' where I've beenYou can't see these tears are realI'm cryin' (Yes, I'm cryin')
We can't go on togetherWith suspicious minds (Suspicious minds)And we can't build our dreamsOn suspicious minds
Oh let our love surviveAh dry the tears from your eyesLet's don't let a good thing die
When honey, you knowI've never lied to youMm, mm, mm, mm, mmYeah, yeah
We're caught in a trapI can't walk outBecause I love you too much baby
Why can't you seeWhat you're doin' to meWhen you don't believe a word I say?
Now don't you know I'mCaught in a trapI can't walk outBecause I love you too much baby
