Yes, Gracelands is a must-see in Memphis.
We have been twice and would go again, you never get the feeling they are ripping off his memory.
It is just well thought-out and respectful.
But Memphis is not just Gracelands.
It is a vibrant city on the great Mississippi.
If your staying near downtown you must visit Beale Street.
One of America's most famous musical streets!
Located in the heart of downtown Memphis with three blocks of more than 30 nightclubs, restaurants and retail shops.
Music includes traditional Blues, Rhythm and Blues, Jazz and Rock 'n' Roll.
Catch a concert at Handy Park or attend one of the annual festivals or parades.
Have a look at their website:

There is much to do in Memphis, it depends on where your interests lie.
There are many fine museums~~
Civil Rights Museum, Rock 'n' Soul Museum, Veterans Museum
Recreation areas~~
The Mud Island River Park is totally worth the admission, the Memphis Botanic Gardens too.
Galleries, plantations to visit.
Or just stroll the riverfront, you'll find plenty to interest you.
Memphis is brimming with Southern-style restaurants and cuisine from around the world.
I have found this site for you to check, click on any one of the restaurant names for address, phone, features and cuisine:

Graceland, of course - in my case, becasue of Paul Simon's magnificent song, but also that guy, what was his face... you know, the fatso in atrociously ugly white & golden suit...
