  Elvis died when I was 6 years old. So a little before my time. Always knew who he was and listened to his music a bit. Apon researching him deeper wow. This guy was born to be a star. A stars star. Amazing talent. Elvis had great career but we only saw 50% of what he could've been. If his career was handled by a good manager who cared about him he would have done so much more musically and acting. Fake Colonal Parker was a piece of garbage. Then of course the addiction and tragic death at 42. As great a star he was he left so so much on the table. There will never be another Elvis. R.I.P. King

  I just finished Jerry's book and all I can say is what a great guy. Elvis was lucky to have him as a friend. He was very loyal to him. One of the few people that hasn't used their friendship to gain anything. He simply loved his friend. Great interview!

  I met Jerry Schilling at the Coffee Bean at Sunset Blvd, in West Hollywood. <br>He&apos;s a first-class gentleman. We talked about Elvis and every time that I would see him, we would greet each other and chat for a while. <br>Big props to Elvis and Jerry!

  Elvis supported a lot of families by having the same group of guys around him his whole adult life. What a huge amount of stress it must have caused him knowing their families depended on him.

  Jerry, if you see this, I love your hair done this way. I met you in Memphis at the Peabody Hotel luncheon given by my friend when Bud Krogh was there. Love this interview. Thank you for being so loyal to Elvis all these years.

  Loved when Jerry spoke at Lisa Marie’s memorial. He spoke about how he called her “Memphis” &amp; she always called him by his full name “Jerry Schilling”. &nbsp;So glad that he’s remained in Priscilla’s life, he’s still a loyal friend to Elvis after all these years.

  I hope Elvis realized how loyal Jerry was to him. Jerry seems like a great guy.
