- "The President and the King" - a Short Film by Seth Swirsky.
You ever hear about the day Elvis Presley unexpectedly flew to Washington, went to the White House and requested a meeting with President Richard Nixon? Now see what it actually looked like using the 26 photographs taken that morning by White House photographer, Oliver Atkins.
The film also features a rare interview with Jerry Schilling, one of the main men in Elvis Presley's 'Memphis Mafia', who was in the oval office that day!
Thanks for telling us about this side of Elvis...A man like no other...
To think jerry was the ONLY man in the world who knew where elvis was that weekend , shows the close relationship he had with jerry that he was the one he called to help him!!!
Only elvis Presley. Ni one else could do what the tiger man could he had his fans in the palm of his hand and loved them. TCB
I love this story and have heard it many times. Just my absolute favorite. Jerry is the best. ❤️
If that 1997 movie is even remotely accurate, that was the most epic story I've heard in years. I just laughed and laughed. Oh, to be fly on the wall that weekend.
The Stars were in alighnment that day, my Friends, and I was there in the Oval Office to witness the event. In fact while we we there, Nixon asked Elvis to sing a song and Elvis asked everyone there to join in on "Swing Low Sweet Chariot". We all began to sing, but Elvis stopped, dumbfounded, by the pearlescent tones being emmitted from my throat. He told me that I was the greatest singer he had ever heard in his life and that he was honored to have sung with me.
Who are you?
Elvis loved his Mama and there ain't nothing wrong with that.
elvis and nixon! how cool is that!
Great story, i enjoyed it .
If you can't say anything good about some one like Elvis, try keeping your trap shut
Get the movie "Elvis Meets Nixon". Amazing!
I never knew they had met, I bet Nixon was exited!!!
THIS is the story they Should have made a MAJOR movie about - Presley/Nixon NOT Frost/Nixon ....
Bush sr was head of the Jaycees back in the early 70s. he was the one that presented Elvis with a plack and introduced him as one of the 10 most outstanding young men in america.
??? Never saw any photos of them together from that event. ???
Interesting. Very cool info!:)
thanks for sharing!
Lol Elvis. Would have been an awesome dude to hang out with.
I do not think I ever heard of this meeting with Nixon and Elvis until I saw there was a movie and then I researched to see if it was fake or reality. It is interesting that if you are a celebrity you can meet the president.
He was cooler and cool
There is a movie called Elvis Meets Nixon
It's pretty funny!
how the hell old is Jerry Schilling? even 12 yrs. ago, he was old .ELVIS dies, and JS has the fountain of youth.
Hey Jerry
If you ever read this comment please say hello to my wife Kathy. It will mean the world to her. Thanks
That's a lot of crazy in one office.
Jerry you new the man, not the legend like most people.That was a great story. But I have one beef for whats going on at Graceland. And it's about the 3 tier admissions. Knowing EP do you think he would approve. I think not ,knowing where he came from. He was for the under privileged wouldn't you agreed. I understand the monies go to maintaining the premises. But for the people who can't afford the platinum tour gets to see less. Come on!
Carter and Clinton are both on record as being fans. In fact Clinton's Secret Service name was Elvis. Not sure about Bush, first or second.
Bush #2 took the Prime Minister of Japan to Graceland. PM was big Elvis fan.
❤️❤️
better than hearing crap from some one who never knew him though
TCB .
sonny west was with them why isn't he mentioned. the pictures taken show sonny west accompanied them
jerry was asked after all about his experience of the weekend elvis wanted to go to Washington, why would he even think to mention sonny ??
The 2016 movie was a shame
The guy looks like roddy piper.
It is such a mystery to me how Jerry completely shuts out Sonny West from the trip to the White House!!! I get tired of this! Keep ignoring the REAL maphia members, just because they tell it like it actually was good or bad!!
@gamlastanarn Why is that?
Speculation,Opinion,Commentary: Elvis was shown pictures ...and who else was their?
UFOQandA.com
haha, great idea.
and where did you get your psychology degree from?
Jerry and Pricilla had an affair that still goes on today. That’s why Jerry left Elvis to do his own thing trying to be a film editor around 1969. Then after his death they are both publicly seen more together.
its not like that for them , they are jst good friends
Falklands War=Granada invasion 1983. Woowee!
Wait, I thought Britain was still mourning it's falling Empire? And how was the Falklands and the Thatcher... and I think the 70's sucked as badly for you economically as it did for us... Remember punk?
