In a list the 'Top 10 Celebrity Homes - in 2020', our boy came in at No.10.

Apart from him being deceased for 43 years, is there something amiss there ?

Here's the whole article:

I didn't think the property was immediately snapped up.
I thought the asking price was reduced several times.

That's true !

What I was querying was the 'at the peak of his popularity in 1967' bit !

In my view, he was at a low point of his popularity in that year.

There would be a sharp turn-around in '68/'69 !

He actually performed 6 gigs outside the USA. 3 in Canada, and 3 in Hawaii.

In 1957, Hawaii had not yet become a state of the United states yet.

He did five shows in Canada in 1957, at three different cities - two in Toronto (April 2), two in Ottawa (April 3), and one in Vancouver (August 31).

I don't think the three Honolulu concerts held on November 10 and 11 can be considered as being "outside the USA". Although not considered a State until 1959, Hawaii was an annexed territory since 1898 :

From the UK Newspaper "i" - 26th February, 2021

Great to see our boy getting mentioned [in a positive way] in current news !

But they've made an error there.

Can you spot it ?

It's weird isn't it, how they still use his image to sell things, even if it's the idea of a vaccination which is completely unconnected with anything he did?

Live on television? I don't remember that footage.

There isn't any.

He was at the CBS Studio, New York, on 28th October, 1956, to make his 2nd Ed Sullivan Show broadcast when they staged a media 'do' to show him getting the polio jab.

It was for the press reporters & photographers, before the TV broadcast began.

Often wondered if any footage was shot...

This short video on Polio is interesting:
