Ambulance Leaving Graceland - August 16 1977 - Takes Elvis to Baptist Hospital

This is one of the more unusual videos in my collection. Let's start by acknowledging the very poor quality. It is a film of a projected film. But, it depicts a terribly sad moment in history.

We see a customized "Elvis" van, parked proudly in front of Graceland. The owner, no doubt, hoped Elvis would see it and like it. We then see an ambulance (with flashing red lights) in front of the house. It then speeds down the hill, through the Music Gate, and turns right onto Elvis Presley Boulevard and heads for Baptist Memorial Hospital. The footage then jumps to the scene later that evening, as darkness begins to fall and mourners congregate around the gate.
