@sluana1 Red was an expert at martial arts. Fierce and powerful!! Along w Ed Parker. And you are right ole Red pulled back on the mats to make Elvis look passable! E looked sluggish and slow in those documentary runs
I fancy my self a pretty good judge of character. Every time I see Red he seems genuinely honest thru and thru. Loved Elvis and was talented in his own right. Not to mention a real tough guy who was a golden gloves boxer. I liked his cousin sonny too. Just real good ol boys. RiP Red and Sonny
I liked Red , he loved Elvis. Elvis was a powerful man and perhaps could have made his own plans for future shows. Did he really need that manager Parker , I don’t think so. Elvis did was Elvis wanted, I just wish things had been different from all I’ve learned. Nobody should be judged or blamed for what choices Elvis made with the drug use. I do believe the concern that people showed to Elvis about his drug use just made him more rebellious to continue his addictions. Very sad for all . Drugs killed Elvis and nobody put them in his mouth. His addiction changed him . Remember the humanitarianism not the demonds. RIP peace yall
The balls of that woman to ask Red that question is ridiculous. Best I can tell Red and a couple others were the only ones being honest with Elvis, people if someone is addicted to narcotics unless they are willing to stop you can only watch them slowly kill themselves.
Thats right so why out them one must be in dire sraites to be in the mess they are in and the autopsy showed he was Drugs added to the conditions but where the thing offered to help at that point of the game
Hear is a thought ! If Red only did the book to make Elvis wake up about drugs .Then why did they talk about he's sex life ??? If it was not to hurt ELVIS !! BS
@geminidream61...have you read it? It doesn't have a lot of sex in it. The little it does have was no big deal. It's not like we all didn't know it anyway. If Elvis was worried about someone telling others about his affairs then he should have behaved better. He claimed to be religious but he slept with many, many women and did drugs. I love Elvis but his fans need to accept the truth. He treated the MM terrible, especially Red. Elvis was lucky they didn't tell all the other awful stuff.
Red West also taped his last conversation on the phone with Elvis to make money from it. A supposed private conversation and now Red brings up privacy? Elvis was a cash cow for all of them. They hung around for money, drugs, girls, and anything else Elvis gave them.The truth isn't always nice but it is the truth.
Great interview. I met Red once back in the early 1990's. I was taken by his plain spoken truth, his love of Elvis, and the dislike of The Colonel. I agree with him fully.
I agree about that, but I can't forget that awful book he (the Wests & Hebler) wrote that made Elvis' final days miserable. It wasn't done to "help;" they admitted they wrote it out of spite. Maybe they regretted it later, but...
@@markbrown6066 The Wests and Hebler, not Parker. "Elvis, What Happened?" I think was the name. (Will try to edit my post to clarify the author.) Shared things that NO friend would ever publicly share, and spun some incidents to imply they were the rule, not the exception. Elvis was devastated; this was just weeks before he died. As for Parker, I can agree with West's comment on that. He helped Elvis become extremely successful in the early years, but in the later ones he totally dominated Elvis professionally and would not let him perform overseas, would not seek serious acting roles for him (which Elvis very much wanted, and could have done well), pushed him to get married before he wanted to, got a totally absurd percentage of Elvis' earnings, insisted Elvis tour when he was sick and exhausted, etc., etc. These things are well documented now, but weren't widely known back then.
Honestly i dont think elvis needed that colonial. Elvis's career would have been fine and more of what he wanted if he didnt have that greedy pig. Plus he would have went to Europe to perform.
George Klein tells in his book how Red spoke to Elvis when on his way to get medication how it killed another star... then the car went quiet and they returned without getting the pills .... this was very early in his career. Red wrote a few songs (re: separate ways ...). Red's big mistake was writting that book (you would have to be brain dead not to regret writing it given what transpired) . If not for that book friendship between him and Elvis coud have continued. Afterall he was dismissed but a friend is a friend you don't have to employ true friends... and Elvis alwaysrehired and/or forgave friends. p.s. Tony Curtis said kissing Marilyn was like kissing Hitler to shut the reporter up from asking dumb questions.
I disagree. Billy Smith was Elvis’ real best friend and his first cousin. Elvis trusted him completely and thought of him as his little brother. Billy was with him until the very end. No one was as devoted to Elvis as Billy.
Billy Smith stayed with him his whole life until Elvis passed away then he eventually left Graceland cause he said he couldn't do it no more hurt him more being there so he left maybe couple months after Elvis passed away he told Vernon he couldn't do it anymore
I am a cousin of Pat Boyd West, Red's wife. I knew Elvis , too. It is so refreshing to hear some people on here believing Red and understanding why he and others wrote that book. Red, Sonny loved Elvis. I miss the early days , the 60's times were fun then. If you see the docudrama, This is Elvis, my son, Paul Boensch lll played the young Elvis.
This is one of the best interviews I've seen. I laughed so hard almost wet myself at the wig and toupee statements! I can just see Elvis going hysterical at seeing that. Thank you so much for posting this! It's priceless.
Where did the last 22 years go since this interview. Better yet, the 44 years since Elvis left us. I was almost 13 yrs old. It greatly affected me even at that young age.
I'm sick and tired of "so called friends" making money off the back of Elvis..Red you and sonny betrayed Elvis when he needed you most...Some Friend...Most of them took advantage of Elvis's good nature..shame on you all...
The story about Elvis in the early years on the Louisiana Hayride... waiting to go on stage and watching George Jones sing 3 of Elvis's own Hit Singles and than comes off stage and apologize to Elvis and explains that "he hasn't had a hit" and than walks away... than Elvis went on and performed three gospel songs and than tells Red West "Lets get the hell outta here." I never heard that story before.
The Original Members of The Memphis Mafia are all gone. Red West is Gone... Unbelievable! I thought that Red West would be around for a long time. I wonder what happened to Red West?
I live in Memphis and it was on the local news he died from a heart problem and I am sure that what it is because he was at the cardiolgist same day I was a year ago
That was a different time. Elvis believed that as long as the doctor prescribed the medication, then it was all good. I doubt he had any idea he was an addict. Unlike today, where there are rehab programs available, back then there was very little help available, especially for someone who would be in denial . I remember when the book came out and in an interview Sonny reeled off some of the heavy duty painkillers Elvis was using, There was a collective gasp from the reporters in the room. Yet for years there has been denial that he had a problem. Even the autopsy wasn't very clear on this. It was very obvious seeing his performances in the last few months that something serious was going on. The colonel drove him into the ground, to raise money to pay his own gambling debts, and when Elvis finally died, his reaction was 'This changes nothing' . Elvis was The King, however there were parts of his life that he didn't take care of, and paid the ultimate price. RIP Red.
RIP Red..... The World Loves You and We're Gonna Miss You. God Bless !! Thanks for being there. Gonna come to Memphis later today and try and find your grave site and bid you farewell. Peace and Love Brother
I have just finished reading his book again after 40+ years and in view of what has come afterwards (in particular the Albert Goldman tome) this is mild
Friends like you...who needs enemies! You weren't trying to help Elvis...you guys were pissed that he fired you! The only thing you accomplished was hurting Elvis before he died!
He certainly had a lot of nerve! Referring to Elvis' love of studying philosophy and religions and spirituality, he said: "These things should never have been brought to him. The people who brought them were strange. It got him off into another thing." Well yeah, maybe a thing other than just being a workhorse to pay off the Colonel's gambling debts. What does he mean, "should never have been brought to him?" Elvis was a grown man, not a child, and he was intensely interested in spirituality. So Red thinks "these things" should have been kept away from Elvis? That's disgusting! It's none of his business what Elvis liked to read.
katgirlblue Ppl used these things as a guise to insinuate themselves on to Elvis, exploiting, etc. It didn’t help him and they were using these tactics for power plays for their own vices, using his person for their own agenda not unlike the Col. There’s much more to it and it’s complex. His family didn’t appreciate his being taken advantage of in this manner either. Plus Elvis himself stated disdain for ppl feigning interest in things and pretending just to get in his inner circle. Putting it simply, ppl tried to lure him into things and he realized they were after his money and fame. A lot of it was unsolicited on Elvis’s part, and those who were actually related and close to him didn’t appreciate said ppl trying to seduce him away from his personal beliefs and upbringing, away from God during his toughest struggles. His health was failing him, and he had several things hit him hard leaving him in a vulnerable state. He had been disappointed and felt betrayed, law suits, etc. Cults - they couldn’t snare him, but what happened after he died? They got Priscilla in their cross hairs and then Lisa Marie. After years and years of them draining her financially, spiritually and impacting her health, she woke up and left Scientology. No doubt had her father been alive, she’d never went down that road.
@@aynsleighmalayne3558 Elvis would have probably been better off, just reading the Bible...keeping the same beliefs he grew up with. I heard he was a Christian and I'm hoping he was. He didn't need anyone trying to confuse him...not when he was at an all time low. RIP Elvis
Jessi Brunson Yes, and a certain person likes to put more emphasis onto themselves and their personal beliefs making them more important than they were and definitely exaggerated Elvis’ need, want it interests in them. Elvis was truly after the spiritual aspect of his life and searching for the Lord on the way, not other false idols. He needed someone walking a close walk with Jesus by his side that could understand his perspective. He truly needed a church family and sincere minister for him to have Bible studies. Even Bible college and scholars would have been a great interest to him. He truly was missing and needing what he was raised with, his family in church services and sharing his walk and faith. That’s what he was lacking and missing along with his mother. His faith never wavered in his belief, never. He was just a human man with temptation right at his fingertips, like all of us, sinned and fallen short in the flesh, but spiritually he remained in his faith and honestly stuck to those teaching and upbringing. The love of God in his heart and life was evident in how he always treated ppl, making time for them. Honestly concerned for others and we know his generosity, but it’s all he did that was done anonymously was at much if not more than known. When you truly comprehend how he had anything or anyone he wanted and the power, he actually was more self disciplined than ppl realize or give him credit for. He did believe in responsibility and accountability. The women he dated, even the brief romances he took care of and showed affection. He held women in high regard and believed they should be respected and taken care of. It’s sad that he couldn’t enjoy or attend a church bc he felt he would disrupt the services and furthermore shame on ppl for not letting him have that dignity. It’s easy for ppl to blame him, but the fans are inadvertently responsible for a lot too.
Jessi Brunson Yes. He was a Christian, never wavered in his belief and knowledge of Jesus. He was an avid reader and liked to understand other’s beliefs and religions. Reading was his greatest past time and relief of boredom. His mama was well grounded and firm in her beliefs and they both took Elvis to church faithfully. If they couldn’t attend for some reason then they sent him to church. He absolutely loved church and it speaks volumes regarding his love for the Lord that Gospel was his favorite music and what he most definitely what he sang and listened to the most at home. Many probably don’t realize this but that’s what he set out to be was a gospel singer, not rock n roll. Growing up, he’d go watch the gospel singers and quartets every chance he got. One guy would let him in for free as a kid:) However, I believe it was God’s will he came in through the back door as they say bc through the R&R he reached millions world wide and witnessed his faith, and brought gospel to many who had never heard it before. He also met it be known kindly that Jesus is the king of kings, not himself. God kept his hand upon him, and he definitely had the favor of God throughout his life. The guys, singers, family all have spoken of his strong faith. He actually prayed for one of the Sweet’s (his gospel female backup singers) after she was diagnosed with cancer. She said this herself along with those that witnessed it, after that prayer, when she went back the cancer was gone, God had healed her. God, not Elvis, in Jesus’s name. Their faith in asking, and believing, God moved for her. There’s more, he wasn’t perfect, none of us are but he knew who his Lord was, and he had that faith and belief. I believe he knew his time was nigh and had been praying up. God bless.
nice video but too bad its spliced. there were periods they were in the middle of a story and then the video is cut and begins anew at some point later (or maybe earlier) in the interview. Wish i could have heard the end of those stories.
Red really loved Elvis. Did they both hurt each other...yes. Sorry, a true friend is honest and doesn't want to see you die.. Unfortunately, it didn't wake him up. I think in the end, they are both hugging each other up in heaven.
Red has a bit of a guilty conscience. The only time he got upset during the interview was when a woman asked why he wrote his book if, as he claimed, he loved Elvis. And if it was to try to help him, why didn't he donate the money from the book to charity. Red got mad and said "yeah I wrote for the money because I was broke and to help him." The fact that Red got mad leads me to believe he wrote to the book to get revenge on Elvis for firing him, and to get the money he felt Elvis owned him as severence pay that wasn't given to him. Over course Elvis was wrong to terminate him with no advance notice or warning and no serverence pay to support his family after 20 years of faithfull full service.
red west wrote "you'll be gone", "Separate Ways" and an Elvis chrostmas song thats on the 16 million selling Christmas album if I remember coorrectly " If everyday was like Christmas"...After Elvis death Red made considerable money on those songs.
We are all human, I liked Elvis , Red , & others , but they were all human and made mistakes, that's what life and being human is all about , but we sometimes we put people we like or love on a pedestal , just remember we fall short of the Glory of GOD ...
I think the reason Red got pissed at that lady is because he had already answered that question twice already. The way she asked by starting with you said you were a good friend and saying she wouldn't have done that to a friend didn't help. Anyone could tell Red was already upset. He's already said he did it for money and to make Elvis look at what he was doing to himself. He already said he tried to have conversations with Elvis about the pills. Elvis didn't want anyone questioning anything he was doing that's why only those 3 were fired. His dad was the one who messed everything up by giving them only 1 weeks pay and no notice after all those years. I think Red and his family were living in a motel when he and Elvis spoke to each other for the last time. I don't think it was all about the money for Red because Elvis had his lawyer offer those guys a lot of money and they turned it down. And why Dave Hebler was involved I'll never know. He was only around for a couple of years and didn't know Elvis in his prime. So what did he have it to compare it to? You never saw Red out promoting the book like the other 2 guys did. Even Elvis's cousin Billy could understand why they did it.
@@carolbell8008 Elvis was betrayed !!!! Money was all they wanted ... They could have gotten jobs selling cars ! Elvis gave them a golden ticket for years and they pissed on him publicly . No excuses !!!!
In 1976 he published his private call with Elvis who will die less than a year later. Certainly not one of the numerous Elvis' friends who deserve to be celebrated.
didnt mention that phone conversation he had with elvis, he recorded it without elvis knowing about it, then sold it off to make more money out of elvis.
That is a short-sided and simplistic view. Recording it gave truth to the story they were about to tell. Otherwise they would have been called liars and much worse, and had no evidence to back up their claim of being fired due to trying to help him.
@@naughtyrascal7806 funny, i didnt here elvis agree to that..dead men cant speak for themselves. of course red said that, he knew the uproar the sniveling wheezel would cause by releasing the PRIVATE phone conversation.
Hahaaa! I was thinking same here, lol.. Gosh, I hate interviews amongst public now,, you CAN,T hear half of whats said or must back-up/replay to understand! 😯 wth ... Lol!
Wow, great interview. I'm aways surprised when people ask them about the book. Have these people read it? Obviously not. I have and 90% of it is very favorable to Elvis. It's sad to me that the MM has to answer for his death. Elvis was a grown man. It's his fault that he took drugs and died. The MM did all they could and more. RIP Red.
Red was on the forefront of the dawn of rock n roll with Elvis! Great songwriter too. If everyday was like Christmas & Separate always a couple songs Elvis recorded
I for one am sick of m m any of them saying that they were not in it for the money because there wasn't any given to them They leave out Elvis paid for everything for all of them all the time they were with him all those years No severence package What a f joke Dd
You gotta love Red West. No BS. His love for Elvis is obvious. The book clearly came out of being hurt and being incredibly concerned. Elvis betrayed his closest friends trying to save his life. But that really wasn't Elvis, it was his addiction. Keep in mind, Red and the other guys needed the money because they had just been fired from a job they had for over 20 years. So, of course they kept the money from the book. As they should have.
Still spewing false info on all things Elvis, huh Saphire? Red West had ZERO to do with Goldman's book. You just talk out of your ass rather than do actual research and communicate honestly.
None of the Memphis Mafia had anything to do with Goldman's book. Yes, he quoted or maybe even misquoted things he heard them say over the years. But they in NO WAY colluded with Goldman, and in fact, Lamar Fike pleaded with Goldman not to publish the book. There are plenty of things I don't care for about the MM, but you're a real nutjob.
Glad you enjoyed it. I have one with Charlie Hodge (already here). Also there is an interview with Kang Rhee that I need to locate. Likewise Scotty and DJ. My intention is to put all of my Elvis Festivals on RU-vid and Facebook. I have a group page set up for this on FB if you want to join it. It is called Elvis Holiday Festivals
foxholemusic76 those people consider about Elvis Presley those most of them or all just ride on name Elvise and they got fire by Elvise father before the death happen 2 years almost Elvise wasn't satisfy about them act at all they been written too many book about Elvis life but untrue that care for money only
Just to play devil’s advocate to Red haters, imagine being a young man with an education from Humes high school, and nothing more. You’re suddenly sucked up into a tornado that is Elvis Presley. This whirlwind goes on for 18 to 20 years, then you’re suddenly spit out onto the streets of Memphis. That had to be a mind scramble. Your entire adult life has been a fast track of excess to the highest degree, and you probably thought it would never end, or at least not in the mid 70’s. As I understand it, Elvis did not pay these guys a fortune. I heard Joe Esposito once say Elvis paid “decent”. Granted, all expenses were taken care of, and there were bonuses and gifts, cars, etc.. I’m rambling, but my point is, the mafia didn’t have a 401K, I can see why Red and Sonny would’ve been in a daze about what was next for them. My guess is that for the rest of their lives they probably waffled between regret and self righteousness over that book.
@@timemerson4117 You are right on the first part. Red - Marines, Elvis - Army. Lamar and later Red joined them in Germany while Elvis was in the Army. In all, it was Lamar Fike, Red, Elvis' dad Vernon, and Elvis' grandmother Minnie Mae who lived with Elvis in Germany, in a house off base, while he was in the Army stationed in Germany.
West implies that he was let go because he tried to stop the pills. He didn't say how Elvis bought them and their wives separately several expensive cars, horses, motorbikes, medical expenses, flights including personal ones for wives, houses, holidays etc. He said nothing about how the West cousins were unnecessary violent towards some fans and Elvis had to pay hundreds of thousands dollars. He said nothing about how for several years after Elvis's death they mocked and lied about Elvis( on RU-vid is video proving how he lied) plus sneering at and insulting those that remained loyal to Elvis. When they realized after years of insulting and mocking Elvis, that Elvis's fans remained loyal to him and they didn't destroy his reputation, they then suddenly loved him again and they were the "true" Memphis Mafia.
In another interview Red West said that Elvis would not have been as famous if he had started out in the nineties because according to him Elvis made an impact because he moved his leg. That was total rubbish. I'm from South Africa and we were Elvis fans for years because of his records and only after years when we saw him for the first time in a movie, Jailhouse Rock. Furthermore check on RU-vid people who were born decades after his death doing reactions on his songs and were blown away by his talents, voice control, delivering the songs, singing as if he meant those words and then became fans themselves.
To each his own. Red and Sonny West ate out for themselves. He was there but do was Elvis and Veron. When do we hear their sides of the story??? When they realized that do much hate comp g from fans they started to change their tune. Too much to say negative about him and hRsds crewnies Now nice nice. Why do fans storm to see him? Just because he was at one time employees by Elvis after what he did? He betrayed him just look at the timing of his book and circumstancesAgain, you can say anything when the other person has passed. I'm sorry but being a traitor is not love or friendship Even if Elvis did what ever he said . Red will never forgive you. I almost hate you. But Rip.
Dodged the question about did Elvis Have anyone to confide in, other then those on the payroll who were financially dependent on him. But so nice of Red to write a book to help his Friend!!!!!!
I remember in Elvis's suite one evening when he sang a song TROUBLE during his concert. A line in the song is, what are you doing a-l-o-n-e mercy look at what just walked through the door. Elvis would only say loudly MERCY & all the bodyguards head's would jerk to look towards the front door of the suite because a pretty woman had just entered. They would laugh & laugh. It was their inside joke.
A chunk of this was cut out after 42:45. So how did Todd and his party get in to the Hilton Hotel in '73 to see Elvis after travelling from overseas and having their reservations cancelled by the hotel? Was it edited out because it was slanderous to the hotel?
I think he did the right thing by writing that book, hell even his own father wouldn’t do anything to help him. I think Red An Sonny both were concerned with his health and thought well let’s make him See this isn’t ok to keep doing this to yourself and if you won’t listen to us and nobody else is gonna try to really help you then writing this book would make him see that- no what he was doing is not ok- plus they were hurt- hell Red had been with him and been his friend since childhood. I don’t blame him for keeping the money from the book he was fired for telling Elvis he was gonna kill himself with those pills and even though he writes this book it still happened. It’s truly a shame and very sad. I never understood why his own Dad and family members didn’t try to help him?
His dad (Vernon) was afraid of Elvis and afraid of being fired. Without Elvis he was nothing. He was a BIG "Yes" man. Billy tried. He would take drugs, he would substitute drugs, he would empty some and fill them with something else. But he said, if Elvis didn't get his high OR the feeling he wanted he KNEW something was wrong. Then take more to get where he wanted to be. Watch "All the Kings Men". It's a VERY good interview with Lamar, Red, Sonny, Marty and Billy.
dear sweet loyal crazy friend. no other heart cries more for that coulda woulda shoulda. you are an honorable man. remember. because "we remember you". I swear when you tslk I can hear the bosses voice. much goodness to you and yours. all prays sent along to Sonny.
Sorry fore that,but know is he together with Elvis and they have fun together again.He is with Jesus in heaven.Have some lost a part on your body?Sometimes can we feel the lost part,i belive the spirit live and the body try use?Red West was a honesome ,likely man.
There was no mistake made in Elvis not touring Europe and this is why. Elvis could not come to Europe to Tour because of the Drugs, the Guns and the size of the venues. Most European Countries, if not all of them, would not have allowed Elvis and his entourage to enter their countries fully armed as they were and with the amount of guns they carried. Elvis would have had to have had Dr Nick inform the countries exactly what drugs he was bringing into them and also the amounts, that would have caused a scandal right off the bat. While today we can enjoy many supersized venues at the time of the sixties and seventies these venues did not exist and neither did any venue the size of those today exist. Because of Elvis' popularity he would have had to have spent months in one country before moving onto the next and so on and so on. The overheads would have been astronomical Out of the Memphis Mafia Clique had that formed (Billy, Lamar, Marty, Sonny & Red West) I always liked Red West the most because he appeared the most genuine, but he too was prone to exaggerating and whether he liked it or not, he was party to a book that was reported by those who were with Elvis at the time had deeply hurt Elvis and he did it for money, only later did he add it was to help Elvis. There is no love in the book, it felt like there was vengeance at its heart; a desire to hurt Elvis as much as they were hurting and given those reports, it had worked. Do I think Red regretted the book? Yes, I think he did. Do I think Red stopped loving Elvis because of what he had had to say in the book? No. But he still shouldn't have been party to it - and he shouldn't have recorded and made public a private conversation he had had with Elvis either - most especially because Elvis would have been unaware of him doing it
Well, he was right about one thing: He was in on writing the book "Elvis, What Happened" for money. Many wondered how such a "supposed" great friend and confidant could write and reveal the nasty things they put in it. Did they really think after writing such a book that it would help Elvis? No! They were out for revenge. For years these guys lived off Elvis. But when the money ran out, the betrayal began. Notice how nasty Red was when he was asked if it would have been a better idea to donate the money just to show Elvis he was doing it just because he cared about him. He got instantly angry and admitted he did it for the money. If you watch the show "autopsy, the last 24 hours of Elvis Presley" you will see it wasn't the drugs that killed him in the end. If anything assisted in his death, it was probably the stress these guys induced with the knowledge this book was coming out. The truth is, most likely if Elvis had offered them a gazillion dollars not to publish it, they wouldn't have. It was all about money. They turned their backs on the one person that needed them most. The only close friends he had. The ones he trusted. Then he found out he could only trust them while he was paying them. Well, Elvis is gone. But so is Red now. I wonder how Red might have felt just before he died if someone he trusted wrote a book and revealed his secrets. RIP Elvis. You'll be remembered and loved. The only reason anyone ever heard of Red was because of you.
Great interview.. The Presley’s should have thanked him for trying to help Elvis. The Presley’s (Vernon and Priscilla) did NOTHING to try to help Elvis, NOTHING!!!! So, shut up about the book!!! And, thank Red for at least having the courage to try help him, the best he knew how. Rip Red
Exactly! I mean i ain,t no crystal-ball teller but,, cilla did NOT help much, col parker or vernon! Vernon knew some things ahead of time, of Elvis,s health yes but still the shows went on & on? ... Talk about being close to some1 ill...?
Cowcharge he didn't have to be an asshole when he answered that question! Did he ever think that might be why the John q public has issues, questions, doubts, and concerns about where he really stood and what really mattered with and between him and Elvis? Has he stopped to think that the public might be smart enough to figure out that he speaks of the good times to save face and look good in the public eye for a PR STUNT??? JUST SAYING... THINGS AREN'T ALWAYS WHAT THEY SEEM...
Cant believe that woman asking him that dumb question. And bis right we dont know elvis like he knew him i believe he wrote tbis book to sa e him tobad it didnt work.
