At a ceremony on Monday, Priscilla Presley asked state lawmakers to partially fund the relocation of a rock and soul music museum in Memphis.

Presley is the latest recipient of the Colonel Aide De Camp Award, the highest honor a civilian can receive in Tennessee. Fittingly enough 64 years ago almost to the day, Elvis received the exact one.
