There are not enough hours in the day, at least in my day, to respond to all of the emails/blog posts/comments/website visitors/Elvis fan club members/etc. concering Elvis Presley but if I could respond to each one I would. However, there seems to be patterns each month as is the case in this month being October 2016 so I have opted to share the top 3 along with my (summary) response.
What would Elvis be doing if he was alive? – Well he would be 81 years old so I would hope he would be in good health enjoying his family, friends, grandchildren, etc. But if I didn’t take the question literally I think they meant to ask what would Elvis have done with his life had he lived and I believe he would ALWAYS have been associated with music for he loved singing. Elvis had a four and a half octave range and choreographed/produced his own take on all of his recordings. He had a great love of Gospel music and I believe he would have continued in that genre. I would hope that he would have been able to enjoy life and truly know how much he meant to people around the world. That he didn’t have to tour so much. That he sought the best of the best doctors for his very real physcial/mental/emotional diagnosis.
Is Elvis alive? – No. He died (sadly) on August 16, 1977 and I have had the honor to know so many who; worked with, were friends with, spent their lives with, were related to, were trusted by, etc. Elvis and not a day goes by that they don’t miss him. Individually and collectively, these are people of quality and their pain/regrets/sadness is real and those that seek to monetarily profit by engaging in these falsehoods truly take away from the story of Elvis’ life onstage and off.
What is my collection worth? – It all depends. But my list of priorities would be, including but not limited to, the following: was it created during the time Elvis lived? What documentation do you have for each item? What condition, in detail, is each item in? Is it complete and an example would be the album cover, the album, the stickers, and are the inserts (if they were any) there?, Has anything been altered? What research have you done? Elvis was the most photographed person who ever lived and he was the greatest entertainer whose career spanned three decades thus he left a great body of works many of which have been repackaged and/or reissued. Lastly, take detailed photographs – measurements – etc. of each item as that is a good way to start.
Thanks for visiting us and please share our site via social media.
Take care and may God bless you.

1969 was one of the happiest years in Elvis remarkable life.
Besides his 1968 hit TV special sponsored by Singer entitled “Elvis”, and his movie contracts coming to an end after (aproximately) eight years, one of Elvis’ trusted friends (who was also successful in the music industry) Mr. Marty Lacker had encouraged Elvis to record at American Sound Studio in Memphis who had been making hit after hit for several consecutive years.
Elvis had been with RCA for (approximately) thirteen years and Colonel Parker had many tangible interests in keeping Elvis recording exclusively at RCA. However, Elvis felt like he needed to get better material and Elvis was always up for a challenge.
On January 13, 1969 (eight days after Elvis’ 34th birthday) Elvis went to American and began, under the outstanding talents of producer Chips Moran and his incredible staff of musicians,, and Elvis recorded the best songs of his career (note: 1956 would be the watermark but in sheer quality – variety – and Elvis’ voice being extraordinary).
From YouTube comes “Poor mans gold” which was recorded in 1969 and though many Elvis fans aren’t aware of this song it doesn’t take away from it being a beautiful song complete with Elvis’ trademark semi-laugh/snicker at the beginning.

Elvis bought, and moved his mother and father into, this home in Memphis Tennessee on Audubon Drive.
Elvis had a swimming pool put in along with other home improvements. This is the home that Elvis owned before buying Graceland.
Part of Elvis’ reasons for leaving this home was the complaints by neighbors about fans coming by at all hours.
When Elvis moved to Graceland his family did not take much of the furnishings as they gave them to family members. One of the home decor items was a beautiful mirror which can be seen in many candid, and rare, photographs including one of Elvis’ beloved mother Gladys Love (Smith) Presley.
Enjoy.

Elvis Presley was “lighting in a bottle” original article authored by Jeff Schrembs http://elvispresleyexpertblog.blogspot.com/2016/01/elvis-aron-presley-was-lighting-in.html
PLEASE SHARE OUR BLOGS, AND WEBSITES, VIA SOCIAL MEDIA. THANK YOU AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU.
And here are SEVEN rare photographs as well:
From the beginning of Elvis’ career until this very moment books about Elvis are in demand.
I have stated my opinion, on http://www.ElvisCollector.info and on these blogs, about many of the “major” works written about Elvis as not only have I read them numerous times I have them in my collection. But, there is one book that was written about Elvis that I have (and it was autographed/signed by the author to me) that remains the most rare. Not only have I never seen, or heard, anyone having it but it was only available for a few months during 1977. The book examines Elvis life and his faith as well as life lessons for all of us including our religious foundations.
Throughout the decades I have put some time into ascertaining if anyone has this book. The results, dating back to the late 1970’s, has always been “no”. Whether it was a matter of timing, or luck, or being a “semi-hoarder” this book has made it through all of the chapters of my life.
There are many excellent books about Elvis Presley but (sadly) for every good Elvis book, in my opinion, there are hundreds of books that are not only factually incorrect but in many ways biased against Elvis and/or Elvis’ fans.
The life, accomplishments, dreams and failures of Elvis onstage and off can never be contained in one book or a series of books. However, reading these books gives us an insight into what was going on at the time as recalled by firsthand witness accounts. Fortunately Elvis left behind three decades of movies, TV appearances, concert appearances, recordings, etc. that show us part of Elvis’ life and in some cases brings us back to times passed.
Out of all of the various items in my collection some of the most treasured are the notes, letters, etc. that Elvis wrote not as Elvis the star but Elvis the man. Not only did he share his fears, live events, but his opinions. In everyone of his person books he underlined passages. He wrote in the index. He jotted down certain word. His books were not just letters on paper but an interactive medium for Elvis.
Elvis loved books and the earliest known writing/signature of Elvis’ was for a library book. Elvis always carried with him his bible and he spent some of his private time reading books of all subjects. Even the day he died he was reading a book entitled the “Face of Jesus”.
To be continued…
