Elvis Meets Nixon

"The President and the King" - a Short Film by Seth Swirsky.
You ever hear about the day Elvis Presley unexpectedly flew to Washington, went to the White House and requested a meeting with President Richard Nixon? Now see what it actually looked like using the 26 photographs taken that morning by White House photographer, Oliver Atkins.
The film also features a rare interview with Jerry Schilling, one of the main men in Elvis Presley's 'Memphis Mafia', who was in the oval office that day!

And why wouldn't Elvis be in charge? He was The King and Nixon only a President.

Here on YouTube we can see a video where Elvis sings on stage in Las Vegas and when finished singing, he chats and rubs shoulders with many Hollywood movie stars in a private meeting room. They ain't shit compared to the King Of Rock N Roll and they know it. Elvis is a movie star too but he's much much more. Those low-life movie stars came to Las Vegas to see HIM.

Elvis liked Kennedy and Johnson as well.He was very upset when JFK died.He liked Jimmy Carter to.

The Stars were in alighnment that day, my Friends, and I was there in the Oval Office to witness the event. In fact while we we there, Nixon asked Elvis to sing a song and Elvis asked everyone there to join in on "Swing Low Sweet Chariot". We all began to sing, but Elvis stopped, dumbfounded, by the pearlescent tones being emmitted from my throat. He told me that I was the greatest singer he had ever heard in his life and that he was honored to have sung with me.

Thanks for telling us about this side of Elvis...A man like no other...

Jerry you new the man, not the legend like most people.That was a great story. But I have one beef for whats going on at Graceland. And it's about the 3 tier admissions. Knowing EP do you think he would approve. I think not ,knowing where he came from. He was for the under privileged wouldn't you agreed. I understand the monies go to maintaining the premises. But for the people who can't afford the platinum tour gets to see less. Come on!

@knowingElvis I like you Knowingelvis. I read your channel and I believe you did know Elvis. And I especially like that you're loyal to your friend. The true greats... I'm thinking of Elvis and JFK... get trashed a lot because there's money in it. Someone said, "The brightest lights attract the most insects!" My hat is off to you for defending the truth about your friend.
