GORGEOUS


I saw Elvis live in concert the year before he died. Even then, he was bigger than life, and had amazing charisma. Haven't seen anything like it since, ....until Adam.........Nocturnal 2010

Some background on this set - it was taken at the Perugia Way house. One of the girls pictured was on her way home after a visit to Calif. and still had not met Elvis so Jill *the gal standing next to Elvis with the long brown hair) knocked on the door of the house (you could do that back then) and Jerry answered and she explained the situation. He said Elvis was sleeping but he'd check......probably because they all knew Jill (she is the girl that Elvis talked out of dropping out of school). Next thing you know, the door opens up and there stands Elvis, barefoot, and obviously had not been awake for long...he signed everyone's items, posed for photos and that girl left Calif. very happy!

nice story Sandi :D


It's hard NOT to imagine Elvis as perfect; how else could someone be THAT good looking, THAT talented, THAT generous & THAT charismatic

For those who do not know, these images were captured within seven days of Presley began filming Frankie and Johnny for United Artists (filmed on the MGM lot)!

Nope -- choosing between a shot of his face or his feet - the face wins!!!
