A Quote by Bill Medley

The friendship I had with Elvis began to take shape in 1968 when I was recording in Memphis. I'd record during the day, and Elvis would send one of his guys over to bring me to Graceland at night. Everything you've heard about Graceland during Elvis's glory days is true and then some.

I met the Colonel when Elvis was recording some song I'd written for one of his movies. Elvis was just having fun with the gang and all the Memphis boys and Colonel Parker was sitting over here in like a theater seat.

When Elvis was there, they were stopping everything. Elvis had the moment for real. While I'm here, its not all about 50 Cent, but it was all about Elvis.

Curtis Jackson

Elvis is everywhere. Elvis is everything. Elvis is everybody. Elvis is still The King.

I hear them playing Elvis, they on they way to Graceland. But they don't scare me, I'm in the trunk.

That's my idol, Elvis Presley. If you went to my house, you'd see pictures all over of Elvis. He's just the greatest entertainer that ever lived. And I think it's because he had such presence. When Elvis walked into a room, Elvis Presley was in the f***ing room. I don't give a f*** who was in the room with him, Bogart, Marilyn Monroe.

Eddie Murphy

When I was with Elvis, I used to remind myself there's Elvis on the marquee and then there's the living, breathing Elvis.

My son Simon had one of Elvis's favorite meals when we visited Graceland - a peanut butter and banana sandwich. Fried! Can you imagine the cholesterol?

Saw the ghost of Elvis on Union Avenue, followed him up to the gates of Graceland.

Everything they say about Elvis today is true. He was just one great guy. He wasn't jealous of anyone. I would say Elvis was really someone special when you add it all up.

Bobby Vinton

There was a misconception about me when I started off because I had my hair greased up and I have some vague resemblance to the hillbilly gene pool that Elvis came from. People would say, 'You want to be Elvis' and I would say, 'No'.
