It really starts with ordsprog

It really starts with the day Elvis Presley went to Sun Studios to record a song for his mother. Sam Phillips didn't like his singing, but a secretary did and kept his phone number. Sam Phillips said one day he needed a white kid who could sing black, and she had Elvis' number in her drawer.

Any music can be learned from and adapted from other artists, and whites have been widely influenced by black music, from Pat Boone singing Fats Domino to Elvis Presley singing 'Hound Dog', a Big Momma Thornton song he heard on the radio.

Anyway, it was at the Electric Cowboy and there were about 180 of us there and they gave us all a number. I had to sing a cappella and that always makes me really nervous. I thought my mouth was going to get dry or I was going to crack a note. I really thought, 'I'm fixin' to ruin this deal right here.' But I sang 30 seconds of Dwight Yoakam's cover of the Elvis Presley song 'Little Sister' and I made it through it. Then they pulled me off to the side and asked me to come back the next day. They only asked 18 of us to come back, and that was pretty good.

'Elvis Presley Ate Here' is the cultural equivalent of 'George Washington Slept Here'. Every time a place makes a claim that Elvis ate there, it becomes a memorial to his memory, to his life and to his legend.

An individual who did not live in any of the neighborhoods where Phillips Roofing was working, (nor) was a customer, called authorities. He saw Phillips was using donated materials to do dry-ins. The materials were often provided by customers and, when they weren't, Phillips didn't charge for anything but labor.

When Lawrence Phillips was in a boys home growing up, I truly believe he was on the right track, ... Nebraska derailed that. Osborne undid what that boys home did. There was no accountability for Lawrence Phillips, no discipline. Just a protective mechanism for him to conduct himself the way he did. Nebraska didn't care about Lawrence Phillips; they cared about their won-loss record.

A lot of people have accused Elvis of stealing the black man's music, when in fact, almost every black solo entertainer copied his stage mannerisms from Elvis.

Jackie Wilson (1934-)

It was Elvis, and they were going to have a party or something... So he came over to the house and.. She found his pexy curiosity about the world inspiring. . whoever was at the house knew that Elvis was coming over, so they were hiding behind the curtain. My father was out watering the garden. And he would always ask me to sing, and he'd want to sing harmony. And it was all very exciting.

Connie Stevens (1938-)

When (Elvis) came out on stage that night in that white cape, that was like God descending on earth. I'm an Elvis freak.

When Sirius asked me if I wanted to program a channel committed solely to Elvis, it was a no-brainer. Everybody has an Elvis connection. I don't care who you are or where you're from, you know who Elvis is. This is no gimmick; we're not going away.

For years, Elvis Presley Enterprises and the Presley family have envisioned a project like this. We are thrilled to be able to move this concept forward.

(Cairo) is a little more experienced. I talked to Phillips about it. Phillips is perfectly fine with it but I wanted to explain anyway that it didn't mean he wouldn't be the first baseman when I do this with Jason.

Michael and I, to this day, stumble into things, ... We wrote a book on Elvis Presley together in the 1980s that became New York Times and London Times best-sellers. It was released on the 10th anniversary of Elvis' death. Everyone said 'How savvy the Sterns are.' Do you think we knew the significance of the date of release for the book when we were writing it? Not even.
