The article provides information on Graceland, a 1939 white-columned mansion located in Memphis, Tennessee, where musician Elvis Presley cut his first hits at Sam Phillips' Sun Records studio. Conceived by Presley as his fortress of solitude, Graceland also became the living quarters for Presley's family and his entourage of buddies and hangers-on. It also became, inevitably a tourist attraction that currently draws more than 600,000 visitors a year.
