Elvis Presley questions asked and answered May 2018 edition
We have been blessed to have so many reach out to us including asking questions about Elvis Presley onstage and off. Since we place a premium on facts and context we take each question with respect and respond in kind.
As you may know we don't allow "automatic comments" on www.ElvisCollector.info (currently being switched to another website hosting entity) or the other blogs (THANKS Blogger). But Jeff Schrembs has made a commitment, with accommodations due to health matters, to not only share some of his collection, knowledge, rare photographs, firsthand accounts, etc. but also takes the time to answer Elvis Presley related questions via Quora.

Did you know? Elvis January 2 2018 edition
Did you know?
Elvis failed music when he was in school? It was the only F he ever got.
Elvis considered himself a ballad singer which was contrary to the faster pace songs that (initially) made him famous. So when RCA scheduled a meeting with Colonel Parker they voiced their concern about Elvis' ability to do ballads. Colonel Parker conveyed this to Elvis which made Elvis laugh. His response went as follows "man that's all I am is a ballad singer that's where I started that's what I know" and "I'll show 'em". Elvis, like always, sure did.
Elvis beloved mother Gladys told Elvis, dating back to childhood, that "blonde girls are pretty and fine to spend time with but when it comes to getting married always go dark hair". Interesting as initially while Elvis was in the US Army the battle for his heart was between the blonde Anita Wood and the newly met Priscilla the brunette and then in the mid 1960s between Priscilla and Ann Margret who was a stunning red haired beauty.
Elvis had two "criminal charges" being defending himself while at a Memphis gas station where fans blocked the entrances and an attendant sucker punched Elvis and Elvis flattened him and the second being in 1955 where Elvis was pulled over for going about 20 miles over the speed limit. Elvis paid the fines, plead guilty, had a mug shot taken, and was embarrassed.
Elvis was FEARFUL to fly. His beloved mother Gladys had warned him about dying in a car accident fire a week before his car, the infamous pink caddy, caught fire but thankfully everyone was safe. Gladys told him she feared he would die in an airplane accident and Elvis' first flight was in a private 4 seater plane and it almost crashed. So when Elvis had the ability he sought out a FOUR ENGINE plane which we now know as the Lisa Marie. He wanted style and he wanted, first and foremost, safety. He paid his pilot, and the maintenance crews, 24/7 to ensure there were no issues.
