    Gates of Graceland is a fascinating watch for all Elvis fans...But, Angie just makes it that much more intriguing because she is clearly a huge fan, she is so well informed, and she approached all topics with such ease and grace.
    Keep it up, Ang!! You, like The King, rock it girl!

    My late husband and I was big fans he now passed away 1989 . I'm still fan me from 1959 he was from 1956. He had all his movies those times it was 16mm projector and all the records. Made a special room just with Elvis Brooks and photos.

    Fun fact - the night Elvis opened his show all the hollywood big movie stars were there like Cary Grant and all hollywood royalty came cause they had been meeting him out in Hollywood when he was filming but they wanted to see him ( the kid) in Action on stage. There was a big party in his suite for the Hollywood people. Sammy Davis jr. Had a special relationship with Elvis cause he was at Frank Sinatra’s show when Elvis was so nervous then thst Sammy gave Elvis a pep talk in the dressing rooms.

    I just got to the part with the black two piece and I have literal goose bumps. I'm the director of my local museum and just seeing it preserved so well is so inspiring and give me chills! I would be so afraid to touch it even with gloves but also so awe struck to see it in person. Such a cool experience to see something Elvis wore!

    Fun fact: Elvis' Gretsch guitar model was a Country Gentlemen; very similar, if not identical, to one of the guitars played by George Harrison during the Beatlemania days. I wonder if Elvis knew he was playing a guitar made famous by a Beatle (after Chet Atkins, of course).

      Fun fact: Elvis recorded with Chet Atkins long before anyone knew who Harrison was...i.e. Knew about the signature series, and played one long before Harrison....i.e. Harrison's 63 was bought because Harrison was a diehard Elvis fan, as were all the Beatles....you have your history completely wrong, now that's a fun fact

    The colonel was a slime ball, running Elvis into the ground and taking 50% of everything he earned. Had the colonel not taken so much, Elvis could have toured less in the 70s and took care of himself. He wanted to tour Europe and do a serious film, the colonel kept him in the US, stifling his creativity. The colonel would have eventually been fired had Elvis lived longer. ✌️
