It was Al Dvorin - a former band leader and talent agent in Chicago when he met Elvis Presley in 1955.
He worked with him for 22 years, helping to organise his tours.
The legend was born one evening in the early 70s: the singer's manager, Colonel Tom Parker, asked Mr Dvorin to tell fans at a concert that Elvis would not do an encore.
He took the stage to deliver the immortal line: "Ladies and gentlemen, Elvis has left the building. Thank you and goodnight."

It used to be announced at the end of his gigs to clear the building as people used to wait around for encores or to meet him.

people were such fanatics that it became a signal to let the crowd know he wasn't coming back on stage that he had left the building and so should they
