The King of Rock ‘n’ Roll Mesmerizes with “Fairytale”

Elvis Presley’s stage performance of “Fairytale” was recorded in Rapid City, South Dakota on June 21, 1977. This was just two months before his untimely death on August 16, 1977. “Fairytale” was written by Anita Pointer and Bonnie Pointer of the Pointer Sisters, and was released on Elvis’ album “Moody Blue” in 1977.

In the performance, Elvis can be seen wearing a white jumpsuit with his signature cape and belt. He delivers a heartfelt rendition of the song, showcasing his powerful vocals and charisma on stage.

Despite reports of Elvis struggling with health issues in the later years of his career, he still manages to captivate the audience with his performance.

“Fairytale” was a minor hit for Elvis, reaching #24 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. However, it remains a fan favorite and is often included in compilations of Elvis’ greatest hits.
