47 years ago, on July 20, 1975, during a concert, Elvis was joking around and handing out scarves between songs when he noticed a little girl standing at the far side of the stage.

He walked over, knelt down in front of her, and realized she was blind. Elvis held her hands and talked to her for a few minutes, keeping the microphone away so the audience couldn’t hear. Then he kissed his scarf and gently touched both of her eyes with it. After that, he held the scarf up to her face. The little girl stood there with complete trust, even though she had been blind since birth.

After the concert, Elvis spoke to the girl’s mother and paid for surgery that restored her sight. Today, she works as a computer graphic artist.
