The movie Priscilla has earned more than $19 million since its late October release. The film tells the story of the teenage girl who met and later married Elvis Presley, one of the pioneers of rock n’ roll. Priscilla’s movie comes less than two years after Elvis had a biopic of his own. Both have stirred up attention over the King’s legacy.

Elvis died at the young age of 42 of a heart attack. When he came through Minnesota on one of his final tours a few months earlier, drug use and chronic illness were taking a toll on his body. For the latest story in our history series, Minnesota Now and Then, MPR contributors Robbie Mitchem, Jamal Allen, and Britt Aamodt take us to Elvis' 1977 concert at the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center.
