On this day, 47 years ago, during a concert on July 20, 1975, Elvis was having some fun between songs, handing out scarves, when he spotted a little girl on the far left of the stage. He walked over, knelt down in front of her, and realized she was blind. Elvis took her hands and chatted with her for a few minutes, keeping the microphone away so the audience couldn’t hear. He then kissed his scarf and gently touched it to her eyes. After that, he held the scarf up to her face, and the little girl stood there, totally confident in what he was doing. She had been blind since birth. After the concert, Elvis spoke with the girl’s mother and even covered the cost for surgery to help her see. Today, she’s a talented computer graphic artist!
