This piece captures Elvis Presley in his Las Vegas years, circa 1972. Golds and whites reflect the King’s personal style from that era. They set a tone of luxury and calm, even as he gave every ounce of energy on stage for his fans.

This collage on vintage vinyl is titled “A Hunk of Burning Love.” Elvis was an intensely affectionate, sensitive, and generous man. He deeply loved and was loyal to his family, friends, and fans. That spirit showed in spontaneous acts of kindness, from buying cars and homes to paying medical bills for strangers.

Presley valued intimacy. The studio where he recorded Burning Love was purposely small. He sang in the main room with the musicians, not in an isolation booth.

The song became his 40th and final Top Ten hit on the Billboard U.S. charts.
