Albert has left the planet
Albert Dvorin, who made a career out of
providing updates on Elvis Presley’s location was killed in an automobile
accident. Dvorin was a bandleader and talent agent in Chicago when he first
booked Elvis Presley as an opening act. Dvorin then became a permanent member
of Presley's road show staff and promotional team. He wasn’t the first to say
“Elvis has left the building,” as a sign that Elvis was not going to do another
encore and fans should go the hell home already, but he made it his signature
sign-off starting in 1954, in the days when it meant Elvis was getting some
tender lovin’, and continued to Elvis' final tour in 1977, when the phrase
meant Elvis was too busy inhaling his own personal 40-yard line to remember the
lyrics to Heartbreak Hotel.
