Well said
Agreed 💯. Coby Sparks
I agree 💯 percent! I've been a fan for 65 years and will be until I'm in the ground. I play his music everyday and am hoping to get to Graceland at the end of the year or spring of next year. That's the last thing on my bucket list. I love that you're a tribute artist!❤ Good luck in your continuing career!
Enjoy this beautiful story. What a heart warm story. Shows again Elvis was just a man. I pray he is with Jesus. A special soul.
Why would you hope that? That's not nice.
BAT BAT I only meant I pray he is at peace. And that he was a beautiful and loving person. He cared and the stories remembered show he remained the loving humble and caring. I believe in Jesus and I only meant good for him and families.
@@janiepage3576 well that's your choice. I'm sure Mr. Lacker is fine not practicing idolatry as per the second commandment.
@@batbat7043 oh for God's sake what's your problem? She's obviously Christian, that's why the reference to Jesus, and was saying she hopes that he's at peace. There's no "idolatry" going on here.
@@katgirlblue she said she hopes Mr. Lacker is with Jesus. She said that. NOT me. It's disrespectful to say a person SHOULD become an idolator when he WASN'T in life. Have some respect for others.
Awww we just lost the podcast with Sheri at 45.10 and I was enjoying it so much, it’s great to hear about Elvis the person like that, makes you feel just that little bit closer to the man he was, the King will NEVER be forgotten, he will be loved forever, I’m now 70 and I fell in love with him when I was 4 years old x Carol from Scotland xx
Hope it comes back for you
The whole interview 1hr 26 mins plays for me
Awesome interview. God Bless You Sheri and Rest in Peace Marty .
Sheri is a very kind soul
Agreed 1000%
Regarding what Marty said about Elvis' smile, I saw an interview with Joe Esposito. He was asked what he missed the most about Elvis. He answered "His smile". It must have been something to see in person!😊
It’s so funny not ha ha funny but strange funny cause when Elvis got going he was unstoppable.
R.I.P Elvis and Marty. God Bless you Steve and God Bless you Sheri!
3yrs anniversary RIP Marty.
Lovely of Sheri to share these stories with you and thank you for passing them on to us Steve x.
Marty GodBless ❤️🙏ur missed Thank You Sheri
I really like and care about Sherry. If I was ever to go to Graceland I would want Sherry to be my guide. I would trust her to tell me and show.
Wow. You sir are very important to the Elvis community!. Thank you ♥️
And thank you too
Steve
I've heard a few interviews with Sherri and I have to say shes a very honest forth coming person ,a classy lady, thank you Sherri 😃❤
RIP Marty
She's her father's daughter in the sense that she's honest and forthright with you. You always know where you stand with Sheri, and I love people like that!
Great interview. Thanks Sheri and Steve! TCB.
Love Sheri lacker she is a great interview,very cool girl,TCB
Great interview! I was able to ask Marty a question through Ask Marty on EIN and was charmed by his answer, which was very similar to the story shared in the video about Marty seeing Elvis smile when he saw him:
Q: If it is not too personal, would you also tell us the greatest thing you ever did for Elvis and the greatest thing you feel Elvis did for you?
A: One of the number of things that I'm proud of that I did for Elvis, no, make that two things ...
One, Talking him into doing the recording sessions at American Studios in Memphis in '69 and the other was in '71 when I got the Memphis City Council to name Elvis Presley Blvd. for him.
I did those things as a friend because I was not on his payroll the last ten years but he acted as if I still worked for him because he asked me to do a number of things for him thru the 70's.
The best thing he ever gave to me was his close friendship and his smile.
Marty
I believe these 2 guys were truly best friends.
Had to be a reason he was EPs bf in the wedding.
(Joe E. asked Parker to include him.)
@@bigbang323 Marty seemed to be a much more true and loyal friend. Joe was all about Joe, and was in Parker's pocket, and later in Priscilla's.
Those American Studio recordings were some of his best especially at that point in his life. Thanks, Marty!
Marty you were a good and needed honest friend to Elvis. I think the American Studio sessions were the best he'd done in years! It wouldn't have happened if you hadn't been honest with him about his music at that time in his career. I have listened to that session uncut so many times and I think it was so good because Elvis was having a good time playing music he picked to play. I know he was honored to have the boulevard named after him too! RIP Marty, you Are missed!❤❤
As far as Elvis been beautiful. I am male and say he was beautiful.
Put it this way I can't take my eyes off a Red Ferrari but I wouldn't take it to bed with me. That's the best way from a male point of view😉
Thanks, Steve. This one will be a favourite for years to come. Both you and Sheri show such commitment to the 'truth and integrity' that simply shine a new light on the often repeated prejudices and misconceptions. How comforting to know that even those who knew him still cannot explain the phenomenon that was Elvis...
She is a lovely lady bless her thank you
Thank you, Steve and Sheri, for a GREAT podcast and in keeping alive the memries of not only Elvis but Marty as well!! 💕💕 TCB⚡
This was a fantastic interview! It's so amazing and interesting to hear from the people who were actually there. How incredible it must be to be a part of that history! Your channel is great and is helping keep Elvis going. 😊❤️
Wonderful. Would love to hear Sheri elaborate on your show more on what she remembers about the Beatles visit, just more memories. Unfortunately, there aren't many left who were actually with him. She and her siblings and other mafia kids should write their memoir like her mom and dad did. Like she said, no other star had his setup of family and friends around him. If they have any home videos they want to share, a dvd would be awesome. Thank you Sheri. The story about climbing in his lap was sweet. Those are the kind of stories we like to hear. Unique experiences no one else had.
Well said
I credit Marty with telling Elvis stuff that others wouldn’t. It helped Elvis allot.
Hi Steve.. I really enjoyed listening to Sherri sharing her stories and memories
Very nice lady too.. Thank you for sharing 😊❤️⚡️
Her mom and dad are with Elvis now✨
Hope they are all resting Peacefully🙏
God Bless❤️
That's wonderful an a honor to hear Elvis Presleys entourage offspring it's amazing to hear them talk about Elvis and there parents. With so many interesting stories.
Thank you Steve, for sharing this awesome interview and thanks to mrs. Sheri. for taking her time to talk with you about her father Marty and the relationship he had with Elvis. I am 1 year older than mrs. Sheri, so I was 18 when the radio made that awful announcement that Elvis had suddenly passed. I remember clearly how I felt. I was in disbelief at first until they repeated it, and so I was devastated and cried for days and at a time for long while. I had just gotten married on the 5 th of August and in my kitchen starting up the meal for that evening. Anyway, I thank you for the podcast, first one I ever remember hearing. It was really cool. Sheri ' s father sounds like he was a wonderful person and an awesome and loyal friend to Elvis. It would be wonderful if I could hear Elvis's voice in an interview that clearly . May Elvis and Marty continue to Rest in peace. 😇 💖
SHERRI THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DOING THIS! It’s fantastic!
Awesome interview 👏
Thank you for sharing. Love him so very much forever, forever and ever.!!!
What a lovely and gracious lady ...
I REALLY ENJOYED THIS STEVE! EXCELLENT JOB! Your friend, Mimi
I once spoke with Marty over the computer and even then I was skeptical that it was actually him, but it must have been, he did share a couple of stories with me about the American sound sessions in 69 and how Elvis was just not getting good material after those sessions.
I wish I had had a chance to ask him a few more questions, but unfortunately he passed.
I always liked Marty Lacker and it's nice to hear this from his daughter. What a fab interview. You do fabulous with ur interviews with ppl who knew Elvis. Thank you x
So happy to have found your channel! Love Elvis and always will! Beautiful Greek God with the voice of an Angel. I wish he had been happier as he brought so much joy to so many. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed my channel Marilyn
Elvis would have been quick to say that he was not the King (much less God); that Jesus Christ is the only King! He's recorded telling the audience that in at least two concerts.
But I get the gist of your post and I agree with the rest of it.
Awesome interview Steve. Thanks brother! I love Sheri's personality and Marty and Billy are my favorite Memphis Mafia Members because they've never sugar coated anything.
Very true
I agree totally, I love Sheri and also Marty and Billy more than the other guys, because they seemed so honest, and in Marty's case - maybe brutally honest. Sheri seemed the same and when she said there were some things in Priscilla's book that just weren't true, I wanted to know what, but that was not followed up. She did seem willing to talk about it. Kind of disappointed, because I would believe her. Still a great interview though.
@@katgirlblue Im sure one of the things about the book she was saying wasn't true is: The book said Elvis raped her. Which later in life Priscilla said that the book was over dramatic because that never happened... Katgirlblue, your name reminds me of the song by Bob Seger "Kathmandu". Lol. I dont know why but it does.
@@_CoolHandLuke_ Well Sheri would have no way of knowing if that was true or not. I'm sure she was referring to things that she (Sheri) knew for an absolute fact. Tom Collins your name reminds me of gin and lots of ice. Lol. I don't know why but it does.
@@katgirlblue Lol. I know right! Ive heard " isnt your name a drink" all my life. I go by Tommy though... To the thing i said, anybody around Elvis would of known him well enough to know that was BS.
MARTY WAS TBE NICEST PERSON YOU COULD EVER MEET
Sheri commented about remembering a lot at 3 yrs old. Many do. I have many memories from the age of 3 yrs old. Shocks my mother to this day. Great interview!!
Elvis Presley was on another level/ dimension when he was on stage
Hi Steve great interview so many memories that Sheri has about Elvis and her father Marty was a very special person they shared a very special relationship together
I thought Marty was so cool. Very Honest and to the point. Love reading Ask Marty.
Love Sheri too. Such a nice family. ❤
ok
Yeah I love Ask Marty, he was so honest.
Hi Deb....Sheri is a great honest person. She goes live every Sunday and we have so much fun with her. Great stories and she tells it like it was
Hi Steve, I'm definitely listening to this tonight after I get home later on! As always Steve, I appreciate you Brother, I love your channel and as long as you keep putting up these videos, I'll definitely be watching, listening, and putting likes on anything you put up!! God bless you my Brother!!👊
EPtheKING👑
⚡TCB⚡
Very kind I hope you enjoy the interview.Sheri is a lovely Lady
Great interview Steve ty for sharing all Elvis with us fans Sheri😁🇨🇦🇨🇦
Elvis was handsome, talented and not afraid to tell people he was not the King that Jesus Christ is the King. Elvis was genuine. He was a rags to riches man. He was a man that all women wanted to be with and a man that men wanted to be. He had a true heart. He gave of himself to his fans by signing autographs and taking photos. How many celebrities have gone to their fans hanging out and spent time with them like Elvis? He was a unique individual.
Yes!
Well Steve...this should show you how you are thought of inside the Elvis world. If you still have any self doubts.:-).
Well Colin I really hope that what comes across is my absolute love for the Man and his Music,Movies and TV Special.To me there will never be another Elvis 👍
@@Elvisultimatefanchannel It certainly comes across.
By showing ourselves in good image, we show him in good image.
Thank you very much, Sheri, for sharing your memories with us. 💖
I really enjoyed this!! Thank you so much for doing this and all that you do for the Elvis world!!
It's my pleasure
Thanks Steve I couldn't turn it of and now I'm late for work. Only joking fantastic love the story's mate.. Shaun
Thanks Shaun Glad you enjoyed it
Steve
Fantastìc Steve loved it mate 👍 well done ...and thanks Sheri 👍🏼
Thanks Stephen....Sheri was great
Thanks Steve, great video.
Steve, I Enjoyed the interview with Sherri Lacker Very Much! It was Very interesting I Loved hearing her Stories about her family & Elvis and their time living at Graceland. I’ve just started listening to your channel a few days ago and I’ve learned So much more I didn’t know about Elvis! 👑💙🌹
Excellent interview as I learned much about Elvis Presley.
Yes. Excellent book. The real deal
In their book about their life with Elvis, Marty and Patsy struggled over Elvis. For Patsy the glamour of it all wore off pretty fast.
Thank you for this interview. Sheri is such an articulate and beautiful lady. Very smart and absolutely truthful. Hope your well Sheri, your friend Sharpe Sharpe.
Enjoyed, and am grateful for information I believe to be very true. She did say that Priscilla’s book contains some totally untrue information. I thought it would, as she has changed her stories concerning Elvis, more than once, in interviews.
I am catching up on your interviews. Fantastic! Thank you both very much.
Really enjoyed that Steve brilliant hope your pod cast goes really well . I've got to give a shout out to Roger Mogstad he's another utuber who has met the Princess from where Elvis met them during Gi blues which you did a couple of months ago. hope you don't mind Steve but Elvis fans have got to stick together. Thanks
No problems 😉
@@Elvisultimatefanchannel Thanks Steve your a gent
Another awesome interview...
I did not know you had a podcast until I got this CZcams alert. I think it is great. I will listen to as much as I can but will get through it all tonight . Just wanted to say I was happy to find the podcast.
Hey Doug
It's only been running a few weeks.
I have lots and lots more planned.This is only the beginning.
I have more guests lined up,some were very,very close to Elvis
Hope you will continue to listen/watch my channel it's much appreciated
Steve
@@Elvisultimatefanchannel I will be an avid follower. Thank you.
Enjoyed your interview with Cherie, was she at Graceland when Lisa was there? I wonder if they where friends? ELVIS will never be forgotten! LOVE OUR KING OF ROCK N ROLL!
Steve it would be nice to meet you some time . I'm from the northeast of England. The end of video she said what drives to Elvis. Music firstly then he is like your older brother that will always look after you. Elvis is still to this day is looking out for me so to speak.
I'm going to Graceland for the 6th time may3rd to may 10th this year.
That's great.... Graceland is a special place
Awesome interview,, God Bless Sherri and Her Family and Steve as well...⚘️🙏⚘️...RIP Marty- Elvis and the Other Guys that have passed...💖
Great, in-depth interview Steve with Sheri! Blessings to you, Sheri and the fans! TCB ⚡
Steve you did a great job interviewing Sheri. Your knowledge was right on. It’s also so amazing what Sheri knows and remember. Marty was one of my favorites. Like Red and Sonny they told the truth. Good or bad they didn’t sugarcoat unfortunately as Charlie Hodge and Joe Esposito did. Thank you Sheri for this interview. So good to hear from Marty’s daughter. Marty would be so proud. My condolences on the passing of your father and mother.
Elvis was very blessed to have the Friends that turned into Family around him. Elvis touched so many peoples lives while on this earth. More so than most men that could have lived a 100 years. Just goes to show its not the content, but the Character that makes the biggest impact. RIP Elvis and Family
Absolutely brilliant! Sheri was so insightful and respectful of all things Elvis and her father. So good of her to try and carry on his work. Loved her comments about Sonny’s love for Elvis. In all the books I have read I intuitively suspected that Red and Sonny were devoted. The Memphis Mafia book is one of the best! Thanks again SF!
Glad you enjoyed it.
I am now branching out into Podcasts as I want to reach as many fans as possible to keep his name alive
Steve I enjoy all ur videos this one here was very good.
Wow, I keep finding these treasures .. Great interview.
Sometime back I didn’t think that lady phone call with Elvis that you posted ‘was real/Elvis’.
I now concede... just because you know what you are talking about.
Anyway, another great interview and I believe your fan channel is the absolute best.
Very kind of you The Great Gazoo
Hope you continue to enjoy my channel
Steve
Sherri your father was such a true and loyal friend to Elvis. There are so many career moves that helped Elvis so much he wouldn’t have made had it not done if Marty had not told Elvis. Marty should have been Elvis management. Marty didnt hold Elvis back. He told Elvis truth no one else would say. After Elvis got started it’s too bad he didn’t see Marty could carry it on from there. Marty had such good business sense. I’m so glad Elvis had Marty there to encourage him at the right times. Marty could have taken over the Management and done well with it.
This was a wonderful interview!
Glad you enjoyed it
Steve
She’s one of the very few who were there when the Beatles were there. That must have been a awesome time for her.
I enjoyed this so very much !! Much love to Ireland...Sheri sounds like a lovely warm person. Thank you Sheri
Thank you so much.
Yes Sheri is a lovely Lady
Amazing program. Thank you. I loved Marty and I was blessed to be able to communicate with him not long before he died. He was a man who talked what he think. I highly respect that!
Hi Steve, this is fantastic. Thank you very much. 💖
Thanks glad you enjoyed it
Steve
Just finished listening, wiping tears from my eyes. That was one of the best interviews about Elvis that I have ever heard. Thank you very much Sheri, for sharing your memories with us. Thanks again Steve, for letting Sheri just talk without interrupting. This was really special. 💖💖💖💖💖
@@jacquelineloveselvis Awwe I know...I had a lump in my throat at the end too
Thank you Steve for this and thank you to Sheri. These firsthand recollections are priceless. Btw, who is Leslie Smith? I have a magazine of a David Frost special where he accompanied UK fans to Memphis in 1979 or 80. There is a photo of Leslie Smith and Marty Lacker. I assumed he was Billy’s brother so I asked Danny Smith on one of his videos but he said Billy had only one brother who died years ago..... I forget his name (edit: it was Bobby).
Cheers
Amazing interview and great stuff to listen too!
Very kind Thanks
Steve
Awesome interview you always have great information thank you so much for sharing this was great
You are very welcome Laura
Thanks for watching and commenting on my channel it's much appreciated
Steve
Elvis:The Ultimate Fan Channel you are so welcome if I ever get to come to the UK I will look you up you always have the best information and since I was young in the 50’s I do remember Elvis very well and most of the young men wore the Elvis style hair my mom had a pair of blue suede shoes and multiple other thing Elvis was a really big part of my team years he was and still is truly loved ... my daughter and I are going to Atlanta, Georgia in July I mentioned to her since we are driving we could stop in Memphis on was back to St. Louis mo on our way home and go to Graceland she was all over about that she thought it was a great idea so I’ll keep you posted
Elvis:The Ultimate Fan Channel PS you have a great Valentine’s Day tomorrow which the time difference it’s almost here for you in the UK 🇬🇧 god bless you for all you do and thank you
@@lauratibbles6598 Please do
Sherri glAd to hear you say that about Lamar cause I didn’t quite know how to take him. I was glad he told colonel parker off and parker told him to get out.
Billy was with Elvis when Gladys died. I think that’s one reason Elvis was so close with Billy and he grew up Elvis as his cousin.
Thank u Thank u very much for this Podcast I really enjoyed it.
You're welcome
Excellent interview
Don't think we have forgotten your mom and dad. Take care of yourself. Dang it doesn't seem like your old enough to drive
Finally got round to listening Steve....what a superb interview you managed to pull out ...to hear from someone right in the heart of things is fab....I doff my hat to you sir for sharing this to us all..we are indeed very privileged and even after 50 years of being a fan...I find myself learning new things by following you ...Thanks Steve.
Thanks Gary
More Elvis insider guests lined up for the show...stay tuned
Sheri Lacker is very articulate.
She speaks her mind very effectively.
Thank you so much Steve. You let us continue to live the fascination of Elvis! Sheri is fantastic. Her Facebook page is great!
Maybe...without ukro nazzi flag.
thanks steve for this video look for more of the same yours paul
Thanks Paul
Thank you for this.
Great 👍 interview talking bout Beauty as singer - Actor Jerry Reed once said in meeting Elvis first time bout Best Looking Man he’s every seen told Elvis I kinda wish I was women rite now Elvis ⚡️⚡️TCB ⚡️⚡️
I just bought a copy of the revelations book signed by Marty Billy & Lamar to Sylvia Shemwell (Sweet Inspirations). A great addition to the collection.
What a great interview. It was like sitting around and just listening to stories around the campfire. She was so natural & down to earth. And you were right, just as she was talking about climbing up on his lap, just as you mentioned I was thinking, lucky girl!😂😂🕺🏼🕺🏼🕺🏼Love your interviews. They sometimes take me back like I was there. She sounds like a wonderful person. Thank goodness people like you bring these interviews to us, or else we’d never know these great stories about Elvis. Sometimes when I’m really listening to Elvis with my headphones,these stories flash through my mind & makes it seem so much more real to me.
Glad you enjoy my Channel
Thanks
Steve
I really enjoyed listening to Sheri, she has so many interesting information. Please have her on again. Steve you have the Best interviews of anybody! I don't know how you are able to get people that actually spent time with Elvis but we are so grateful! The more intimate details we find out with each interview, makes us love and appreciate Elvis even more if that's possible! Thank you from the bottom of my ❤.
Thanks Sandra
You're welcome
Great interview. I really wish things would have been different.
Yes me too
I was absolutely captivated on how Miss lacker would say there was basically two types of Elvis. One on the stage, and the other one at home. It’s funny but I’ve heard the same thing before. Vernon Presley‘s brother, Vester said the exact same thing. Vester was totally blown away when he saw his nephew for the very first time performing on stage. He could not believe what he was witnessing. It was almost being able to turn it off and on like a light switch. He said who is this person? Vester Presley would go further and say, it was very strange. Elvis on stage was so captivating. Elvis was completely the opposite when he was not being the entertainer/performer at home. This was a fantastic interview, what I really like about it was the length and the detailed information only a insider would know. It really made me feel like a part of the inner circle. For me personally, Elvis Presley is a phenomenon. He’s been part of my life for 45 years, And has had such a massive impact on my life. It’s unexplainable, at the same time, including monumental. I cannot imagine life without Elvis, the man, the figure, and the voice. He was an amazing humanitarian and I truly believe we were all given this beautiful gift called, Elvis. If you were to ask anybody this question, no one would have an answer. Because it will never happen in their lifetime. Do you know of any people in your personal life who are visited at their gravesite every single day for a total of 44 years? On top of it, do you know of any single human who receives flowers at there grave sight every single day? I know of one person only and that is Elvis Aaron Presley.
Well said...great post
Thanks for your comments and support of this channel
Steve
. . ✨ I liked her dad the most of them . I’d heard Lamar make thin remarks on EP after he’d passed, heard how some others did pick him apart like charred chicken wings. . .and when Cilla tried to push her weight around on the guys for every little thing thinking she was all that and a bag of chips, it was Marty who stood up to her and called her out . .he stayed the same, he wasn’t full of himself nor try to profit off of EP’s private/personal information like others have . ..
Sheri Lacker was right the book with Alana Nash was fantastic I could not put it down at all
Alana's books are the best out there that's been written, although I do want to read Tish Henley's book. She was his nurse that lived at Graceland and took care of Elvis. She really loved him and has some great stories about the time they spent together.
I have heard other greats speak of that stage fright, Andrea Bocelli and Donnie Osmond even though their careers were in full swing.
All the great actors and singers had stage fright every single time!
You are missing Jerry..... he met Elvis when Elvis was in high school. Elvis took him under his wing and Jerry loves him forever.
Jerry will be another episode hopefully
Jerry met elvis in a Memphis park one afternoon ... n they where short of numbers to play football. That's how there friendship began .
Jerry Shilling would be a fantastic interview! I've seen a couple of them and you can tell he loved Elvis so much, he still lives in the house Elvis gave him. He and Elvis also had a special bond. He was the one he chose to go to DC when nobody knew where he was and snuck off to see Nixon. Of course he did finally call Sonny to come at the last minute.
Parker said Elvis didn't want to do Star is Born Sonny Parker also backed Parker on that it included Elvis getting in shape going to a fat farm etc. Parker also said Elvis didn't want to do Overseas because he didn't want to play the outdoor stadium. Actually I don't belueve that because Parker made that statement years after Elvis was dead.
Looking at all of the guys in his group I think it’s Funny how they all met almost like fate put them all together and he felt comfortable with them all I think they were his security blanket and he was very good at reading people
Great job my friend...keep it up!
Thanks
@@Elvisultimatefanchannel I'm very happy for how you've improved your material since I've started following you..love it man...as Elvis would say TCB
@@Naz.Man. It's all a learning process for me.I'm trying to improve on things for my fellow Elvis fans all the time
Interesting interview about their life style.
Parker knew nothing about music or what a Treasure he had in Elvis and totally mishandled Elvis Career! The album that came out of Stax was one of the best! I also loved his last album the jungle room sessions!
Great interview! Have you had a chance to talk extensively with the lovely Ginger yet? Would love to hear from her! ❤️🎶
I asked but she declined ☹️
Wow what a great interview. Steve u knocked this out of the ball field !!! She sounds like a very nice person..thanks for sharing and another thing we had just graduated high school and 18 years old.
our way to portland maine on the 16th of aug TO SEE ELVIS... 30 mins away from the city and heard on radio he had died we were going to portland early and hang with friends till the 18th we were so hurt. We turned around and came back home to northern maine .. It was a 5 to 7 hour drive in that time if i remember correctly 😔
I enjoy Marty's interviews discussing Elvis, very enlightening and tells it like it was.
I would love to hear more about Anita Wood. Elvis would have probably been better off to have stuck with her longer. Her middle name is Marie, btw, and she and Elvis had planned to name their child, if they ever had one, Alisa Marie. Interesting, don't you think?
It did rain that day in so. CALIFORNIA, BUT NOT ALL DAY. I Stayed home that day from work and the morning was very sunny. Idk what part of California sherie lived at, but I remember that day so clearly. T
Great recall of memories, so sad
I listened to some of Marty’s interviews, he was a straight shooter and a true friend of Elvis he talked Elvis into recording in Memphis and it was a big hit , I believe Elvis was happy that he took Marty’s advice, and he didn’t write a bad book betraying his friend Elvis never be another Elvis not even close.
