Thank you Momma Gladys and Papa Vernon for making Elvis for us - and for giving him your incredible features, including your sweet voice Momma. May you all be resting in perfect peace.

Whoa! I was just wondering if there were any interviews his parents did. Thanks for uploading!

I can see Elvis' cheeks and smile in his father, his soft lines and eyes in his mother. Can't see how he sounds like his dad though - it's just the accent. And I knew Gladys must have been a kind woman for Elvis to have loved her, but I always imagined her sounding like a grouch. So wrong!

This makes me wish I had a time machine. It would've been awesome to have met them all.

[Crowrocker71]
