This the Elvis I remember best. My sisters and I would go see his movies ... in those days, always a double feature. I have an original "Girls, Girls, Girls" long playing (33rpm) vinyl record with a similar photo on the jacket. A real keepsake and reminder of the better times of puppy love, infatuation, and wishing for something that could never be.
Potatomum66.....yes, it is a good story to remember and I never let my now 50 year old son to forget it! :))))) Yes, isn't is a shame what happened to him and all those people around him did not stop it. I always respected him for doing his time in the Army when he was drafted.
Well Oddio...........picture it: Oct 1962. Memphis,Tennessee. Carol66 and husband outside Graceland's gates praying to catch a glimpse of the King. Oh, did I mention Carol66 was pregnant and had morning sickness (all day).....yes, I threw up in front of the gates. (Yes, we tidied up as best we could.) Sigh.
And the boy could sing. What a stupendous talent he had and what a long lasting effect he had on popular music. I like to remember him as he was in this photo too. Thanks for remembering him Mr O.
River Road, I too was born on Jan 8, 11 years after Elvis. He was born in Tupelo, Ms., I was born 50 miles north in Corinth, Ms. Both our fathers were named Vernon. Thank you, Thank you very much.
