It has been more than a generation since the king of rock and roll died, but 35 years later, Elvis can still pack a room.

Commemorating the 35th year of his passing today we got a look at some new things you can see on display at Graceland.

One display will be items from artists who have been influenced by elvis.

This is Bruce Springsteen's leather jacket that was inspired by the king, and Katy Perry's sun glasses that are based on the king's.

But it's always the things Elvis touched and used that draw them in.

One display focus in Elvis the father."Elvis' wallet probably the coolest thing I have next to the belt, it's so personal as soon as you open it like any proud papa in front their is a picture of lisa, " says Angie Marchese of Graceland mansion.

That belt is the belt he wore when he met with President Nixon.

If you've seen pictures of elvis you seen him wearing it.

All of it will be on display at Graceland.
