June 10th in Elvis History

It’s June tenth, and on this day in 1965… *The New York Times* reported that Elvis Presley’s gospel single “Crying in the Chapel” had reached number one on the British Hit Parade. The achievement marked the first time Elvis topped the Beatles in the U.K., and it was his first British number one hit in three years. The quiet, spiritual ballad struck a chord with international audiences and proved that even at the height of Beatlemania, the King still had the power to rule the charts across the Atlantic.
