    Humbleness and caring for his fans is unique to Elvis. There will never be another like him. Celebs today should have his sense of humbleness and kindness-but they don’t and probably never will.

    Vernon really kept up with the bills at Graceland but Elvis was generous to a fault. Elvis was lucky to have his Dad TCB for him and Elvis knew that he could trust him. Bless his heart. After Elvis passed Vernon went down hill fast. I don't think he knew what to do with himself after Elvis was no longer with him. Great video. Thank you so much.

    I used to use one of those IBM typewriters! Vernon must have had a crash course in book keeping, coming from his background with no office experience, to keeping meticulous records and notes on expenses. He must have been very forward thinking, keeping everything from when Elvis started to get famous. Did he know his son would eventually be a world superstar, and revered long after he died?

    Angie Marchese has the most fabulous job in the world I love these Gates of Graceland episodes this one is fascinating. I wouldn't mind betting there aren't many offices that have all these documents still in pristine condition. I'm not a huge fan of Vernon but you have to hand it to him for keeping Elvis' accounts in order and never throwing anything away that in itself is a national treasure

    • @shelbysellers4810

      If he did anything right it was keeping impeccable records. I will have to delve into how much he was able to keep an eye on Col Parker. I got the sense from the movie he was able to swindle a great deal but still seems Vernon had the forethought to keep that to a minimum at least.

I would watch Elvis movies whenever, and on the weekend, at whatever time they came on. Lol...my dad would open my bedroom door on his way to the bathroom, and call me a night owl 😢😢 oh, how I miss them!! So, I’d watch Elvis movies all the time, in fact, he was my first official crush as a child. I held that crush forever! As I think on those times in my life, I can’t help but to smile and sing Love me tender in my mind!! AAAWWWW...., ELVIS!! May he FOREVER R.I.P.!!
