It' s nice to hear someone talk about Elvis in a kind way. Bill knew Elvis. But he knew the person. That' s the difference.

Respect to Bill Medley and the mighty Righteous Bros. My favorite song of theirs is Ebb Tide. Thanks to Bill for these series of personal stories.

Thank God for Elvis. Elvis used to say, "I'm not the King. Jesus Christ is the King." What class.

Great Story! Thanks Mr. Medley!

What a great story. Too bad things like this don't make it to network television. Medley recounts a wonderful tale. Many people don't know about that sense of humor Elvis had with other entertainers. Frank Zappa once met and asked Elvis to put on a pair of jeans and just come out on Zappa's stage as a roadie and set up equipment -- as a joke -- to see if anyone would notice. Elvis said yeah. But the Colonel said no. What a headline that would have made.
