| | | | | | Colonel Tom Parker: Encyclopedia II - Elvis Presley - Relationships No entertainer has ever had his life and intimate relationships examined in as much detail as has Elvis Presley. Even the FBI had a file on him of more than 600 pages. He has been the subject of over 718 books (and counting), including two by his only wife, Priscilla Beaulieu Presley (whom he married on May 1, 1967) and several others by former girlfriends including June Juanico. Since his death many claims to relationships have been made by women who were no more than acquaintances or had short term affairs which were exaggerated for personal gain.

| | | | | Colonel Tom Parker: Encyclopedia II - Nick Adams - Marriage divorce and death His marriage to former child actor Carol Nugent, who had also appeared in an episode of The Rebel, produced two children (Allyson Lee Adams in 1960 and Jeb Stewart Adams in 1962, both of whom later pursued acting careers). An acrimonious and expensive divorce reportedly interfered with his ability to get lucrative acting parts after 1963.
Adams' career seemed to be on the verge of an upswing when on the night of Feb 7, 1968 his lawyer and friend Erwin Roeder drove to the actor's house at 2126 El Roble Lane in Beverly Hills to c ...

| | | | | Colonel Tom Parker: Encyclopedia II - Million Dollar Quartet - The session The jam session seems to have happened by pure chance. Perkins had come into the studios that day, accompanied by his brothers Clayton and Jay and by drummer W. S. Holland to cut some new material, including a revamped version of an old blues song, Matchbox. Sam Phillips, the owner of Sun Records, who wished to try to fatten this sparse rockabilly instrumentation, had brought in his latest acquisition, Jerry Lee Lewis to play piano.
Sometime in the early afternoon, Presley dropped in on the Perkins session to pay a casual visit ...

| | | | | Colonel Tom Parker: Encyclopedia II - Million Dollar Quartet - The tapes published Tapes of the session remained "in the can" for over twenty years, probably due to contractual reasons, until in 1969, Shelby Singleton bought Sun Records. He began a long search of the Sun catalogue, browsing through more than 10,000 hours of tape.
At the same time, Singleton licensed much, if not all, of the Sun catalogue to the English Charly label for reissue in Europe. As a result of Singleton’s and Charly's search of the Sun catalogue, a portion of the session came to light. This was issued in Europe 1981 as "Charly/Sun" LP #1006 The Million Dollar Quartet, and it contained seve ...

It is thought by some that he started his drug habits by taking drugs given to soldiers to keep them awake since they were on late shifts. But, according to author Albert Goldman in his 1990 book Elvis: The Last 24 Hours, the pills were first given to him by Memphis disc jockey Dewey Phillips. Priscilla recou ...

Dear Helen, dear Warren, today you have conferred upon me a great honour by asking me to speak of your Father, Peter. The honour though is so challenging that the prospect fills me with fear. To begin to do justice to the life of Peter Grant by speaking on a single occasion, may prove to be beyond my abilities. . . please forgive me as I try. The greatness of his life was to see him amongst his peers and witness the love that was given him so freely, the greatness of his life was to experience the friendship that he gav ...

| | | | | Colonel Tom Parker: Encyclopedia II - Elvis Presley - Quotes about Elvis Vocal range, extension, color, compass, center of gravity and phraseology
"Elvis Presley has been described variously as a baritone and a tenor. An extraordinary compass, and a very wide range of vocal color have something to do with this divergence of opinion. The voice covers two octaves and a third, from the baritone low-G to the tenor high B, with an upward extension in falsetto to at least a D flat. Call him a high baritone. In "It's now or never", he ends it in a full voice cadence (A, G, F), that has nothing to do with t ...

| | | | | Colonel Tom Parker: Encyclopedia II - Dolly Parton - Breakout Despite originally being typecast in many circles as a "Country and Western" singer, Parton later had even greater commercial success as a pop singer and actress. Her 1977 album "Here You Come Again" was her first million-seller, and the title track became her first top-ten single on the pop charts; many of her subsequent singles charted on both pop and country charts simultaneously.
