At 9PM tonight, WABC will present a one hour special devoted to remembering Elvis and his music. Father Peter Madori and George Michael will host this commercial-free special. "For the rest of the week, please schedule one Elvis Presley record per hour, until further notice. These records will be in the small cart rack in 8-A where the Q&T music is kept. [The "Q&T music" was a category of music - "Quiet and Transitional" - that WABC had on hand to play during any emergency situation they felt warranted an alteration of the on-air music. Events such as the deaths of national figures or other national or world tragedies. 8-A refers to the production studio.] "While Elvis Presley's death is a tragedy in the history of rock and roll, his music will never die. Please handle all of your remarks relating to Elvis' death with all due respect, but keep it positive and upbeat, remembering him for his greatness. "Thank you, "Glenn Morgan" The news wire from 16 August 1977, sent at 6:13PM, was attached to this memo. Unless otherwise noted, songs without a number assigned to them (excluding LPs) are in an in-house category labeled "New Library."
