It was December 21, 1970 — when Elvis Presley, the biggest music star on Earth, showed up unannounced at the White House. Wearing a purple velvet suit and his signature flair, Elvis met President Richard Nixon to talk about patriotism, America, and fighting drugs.

The moment when music, fame, and power collided. ????????????
