Elvis Presley and the women he dated

Alanna Nash, the esteemed author who has written several exceptional books about Elvis' life onstage and off, wrote "Baby, Let's Play House Elvis Presley and the women who loved him.

The story, facts, insights, firsthand accounts, etc. that are contained in the book Alanna Nash wrote should be the "go to book" concerning Elvis and the women he dated.

A summary, and availability, of this book is found in the Amazon link http://www.amazon.com/Baby-Lets-Play-House-Presley/dp/0061699853 http://www.amazon.com/Baby-Lets-Play-House-Presley/dp/0061699853

Many of the women who Elvis dated have written their own books, stories, etc. and/or provided their personal stories to authors such as Alanna Nash. They include but are not limited to Dixie Locke, June Juanico, Barbara Hearn, Anita Wood, Margit Buergin, Elisabeth Stefaniak, and Joan Blackman, Also Elvis dated, and by all accounts loved, Ann Margret, and Linda Thompson.

There are varying accounts pertaining to Elvis' relationship with Ginger Alden but the facts are; they dated, she lived with Elvis at Graceland, Elvis interacted with her and her family members, Ginger went "on the road" with Elvis for his live concert appearances, Ginger went with Elvis on his last vacation, and that Ginger Alden accompanied Elvis, and participated in, the signing/execution of his last will. Priscilla, who Elvis married, of course dated Elvis.

I would be remiss if I didn't include the relationships Elvis had with Sandie Kaye Stevens (who first met Elvis at the age of 13 and is a great asset to the "Elvis Presley community worldwide" as well as a wonderful human being), Patti Perry (who was thought of as part of Elvis' Memphis Mafia) , and Kathy Westmoreland (who has an incredible voice along and toured with Elvis for years).

Each of these women were beautiful. They were witty. They had feelings. They were with Elvis during exciting times in his life as well as the "downs" in his life. They warranted Elvis' affections. They each have a story that is uniquely their own.

I encourage Elvis Presley fans worldwide to seek out these women, pertaining to their lives with Elvis and otherwise, and support their personal and professional endeavors. They were firsthand witnesses to history...literally. To buy, and read, books concerning these women one gains insights into the "person" named Elvis Presley that can't be duplicated.

Take care and may God bless you.

Elvis Aron Presley was "lighting in a bottle" by Jeff Schrembs

Like many of the “baby boomers”, talk about an oxymoron because I feel anything other than babyish man age is a …., Elvis Presley made new records – toured throughout the United States – had movies that first ran in theatres and then on TV (yes we had THREE total TV stations growing up and everyone of them cut off at 11pm – those were the days) – and his music played on radio stations.

Inasmuch as I have a great knowledge, and affinity, for Elvis Presley the person (disclaimer – as much as you can learn from studying something for 6 decades with an emphasis on first had sources) Elvis was “lightning in a bottle” onstage.

Man he didn’t sound like nobody. He didn’t move like anybody. He didn’t walk like anybody. He didn’t look like anybody. He didn’t sing like anybody. He wasn’t raised like anybody. He was Elvis and he was wholly unique.

Throughout Elvis’ school years he went to dances/proms but never danced. He told his dates “I don’t like to dance and/or I can’t dance”. Since he was Elvis, even then,  I think he could have said anything and the dance/prom would have been thrilling/enjoyable for his dates. And yet onstage he moved with passion. With rhythm With grace, With melody. He moved and his voice sounded as good if not better live than his recordings. Another rare charistic.

This day is Elvis’ 81st birthday. My prayers go out to Lisa Marie, Graceland, Marty Lacker, Billy Smith, Red West, Sonny West, Sandie Kaye Stevens, Sandi Pichon, Joe Esposito, Jerry Schilling, and all of his loved ones and relatives for they shared their lives with Elvis as well as hopes and dreams. They, as did their families, rode the waves of Elvis’ greatest successes – his setbacks – his mood swings – his fears, etc. There is a true sacrifice, on many levels that last a lifetime, even when it comes to Elvis Presley.

My prayers go out to the loved ones, friends of, relatives of, those who knew Elvis and have (sadly) passed away. Out of respect we have honored them by name on our site http://www.ElvisCollector.info but their contribution to Elvis’ life, and that of his fans, is as alive today as it was when Elvis breathed upon this earth.

If you want to know about Elvis you can watch many of his candid interviews, concerts, TV appearances, etc. One of my favorites is Elvis That’s The Way It Is followed by Elvis’ 1968 Singer TV Special entitled “Elvis”.

If you want to learn about the complicated and multi talented man I highly recommend seeking out, and supporting, these people: Marty Lacker, Billy Smith, Red West, Sonny West, Sandi Pichon, Sandie Kaye Stevens, Joe Esposito, Jerry Schilling, and the author of several exemplary books about Elvis by Alanna Nash. There are also some great Elvis Presley websites, many are listed on our site http://www.ElvisCollector.info under the “links” page, and include Phil Arnold at http://www.Elvisblog.net and Russ Howe who knew Elvis personally and has been apart of many successful endeavors about Elvis.

As I end this post I am thankful to everyone who takes the time to visit this blog and our affiliated sites as well as our Officially recognized by Graceland Elvis Presley Fan Club of Elvis Collector Worldwide Fan Club.

As much as I know about Elvis it is nothing compared to the multi-talented and diametrical strong presence named Elvis Presley onstage and off. But I have enjoyed his music since I was a child and I share my insights herein.
