    1992 This same sweet lady walked into the Christian bookstore I was working in and the first thing I noticed about her was the TCB necklace she was wearing around her neck...I asked her where'd she get the necklace from because only Elvis Presley gave those out..She said yes I used to sing backup for him! That's when I realized who she was! I said it's very nice to meet you! God Bless you! She responded "Thank you God has been good to me!" I didn't want to take up too much of her time so I allowed her to look around our store...She was very sweet and friendly!

      Hey Eric, I was 12 when I saw Elvis blow out 4 shows at Madison Square Garden.. I only saw one, and lucky I had the 10 dollars and car fare to see that.. Changed my life forever, and you are dead on.. Not more than 5 minutes into the show, I'm looking all around the stage thinking, 'where is the 2nd drummer, I only see one drummer on the stage.. As great as he is, he took it to another level for the Garden crowd. He was in some kind of supernatural zone..

      Hello Andrey, I've often wondered if Elvis' music made over to Russia, or more specifically, into the Soviet Union. Is knowledge of him something that came about after the cold war ended or was his music available during the 'Soviet years' as well? I'm not sure what of 'western culture' was available during those years (both music and TV/Movie wise), but I find that to be very interesting to learn about.

    2nd: I grew up in a very strict Christian household but mom let me listen and fall in love with Elvis. I didn't know how to do the twist and mom did from her younger years. She stood up to the radio when he came on, told me to get up. She told me to slightly bend,point my toe and act like I putting out a cigarette. Start it by the beat of ba ba ba thow out my rt arm ba ba bab throw out my left. Twist my fanny , use my arrm like I was using atowel to dry my fanny while putting out that cigarette! It actually worked! Couldn't believe my Christian mother taught me the first dance I learned to the rebel, Elvis Presley!

    Elvis was one of these success stories in the entertainment business who didn't have to sell his soul over to the dark side to keep his voice in tune., sure though, sometimes new ideas were difficult to come by. He was deeply God fearing.
    It really saddens me that he didn't live to enjoy his Grandchildren, the two younger girls are just like Gladys, his mother.
    May The Good Spirit rest upon Elvis forever.

    So Lovely to hear her Memories & how close his back up group were to him. He treated her with respect as a "brother" he said not a BOSS! Must be real Special to look back on those Memories of singing Gospel together for hours! Having fun eating,talking,singing. You can tell she genuinely cared & loved him.

    That's the nicest thing I've ever heard about Elvis. I loved him, and he loved us, and we knew it. I mean, imagine working with the biggest star in the world, and being made to feel like he was no different than your brother. That whole situation has the potential for being nerve wracking, but Elvis didn't let it happen that way. He made them comfortable.

      I went on vacation down south as a child, in the early 60s. I was surprised how respectful and gentle people seemed to each other across the races. Nothing like I expected.
      It was awful though to see different drinking fountains and doors for people according to their skin color. That was very shocking for me. My Grandpa told me to keep my mouth shut about it. He didn't want us to get lynched.

    She's the last of the Sweet Inspirations that backed Elvis (other than Cissy Houston), but Cissy only worked with the group in 1969 with Elvis. The other three backed him in every concert throughout the '70s. Sad they're all gone now.
