    I met Elvis in early 1972 a few months after his 37th birthday . In L.A. I was 21 and at the time a solid 5' 10 . I was wearing Flag Brothers zipper ankle boots about a one and a half inch heal.he was in black ankle boots to. ( I purposely looked. ) from what I saw there was no lift and his boot heal seemed about the same. He didn't have a pompadour , his hair was swept to the side ..I can say that he was easily six foot. In his early days he looked taller because of his pomp. Which Added about two to three inches. Plus he was very lean , like a rail which made him Look even taller. ..
    BTW heck of a nice guy.

    Interesting to look at the distribution:
    5 artists are 7" to 8" shorter than average, 20 are 4" to 6" shorter, 50 are 1" to 3" shorter, 40 are within 1" of average size, 59 are 1" to 3" taller, 7 are 4" to 6" taller and 1, the tallest, at 10" taller than average.
    So it appears there's a bias towards shorter artists particularly at the far ends of distribution, with the shortest outnumbering the tallest over three to one.
