Elvis' grand father Jesse D. Presley discussing his new record and hopes of becoming a success in 1958. For more information about Elvis and the Presley family, log on to our web site at www.backinmemphis.com
J.D. Presley was abusive to his son and their relationship was very poor. Elvis did not stay in contact with his paternal grandfather while they met few times. In 56 Elvis gave him a car (Ford Fairlane Crown Victoria) and a TV set. J.D. attended his grandsons concert where Elvis introduced him on stage in 71..He died 2 years later.
Often heard tales of Elvis looking after his friends and family, giving cars to strangers, yet here are his grandparents living in poverty and hoping to pay off there mortgage before they die
He has great teeth!

@jesuslove110 Thanks for that info, so elvis did not like men who leave women for others then....
Seems odd considering how he lived his life really... But i am not here to judge, just to enquire
