You Ain’t Nothin But a Postmark
Manage episode 379405414 series 2987760
Over a decade after Elvis Presley’s death, the king of rock & roll took over headlines once again as Americans weighed in on which portrait of Elvis would be forever immortalized on a 29 cent US postage stamp. It was put to a popular vote: should the stamp feature an image of young Elvis at the start of his rise, or an older Elvis in his iconic white jumpsuit.
The resulting Elvis stamp eventually outsold every single commemorative stamp before and since.
