The Dick Clark / Elvis Phone Calls
When Dick Clark died two weeks ago, one fact revealed was that he never had Elvis on American Bandstand. This actually is not too surprising. Until August 1957, Bandstand had been just a local show on a Philadelphia TV station. … Continue reading
Was This Elvis’ Best Birthday Present Ever?
Perhaps you have seen this photo on the internet. I run into it from time to time, but nobody has ever included a caption or text explaining the story of Elvis and this old car. Continue reading

The Evolution of Elvis Tribute Continues
Reference books state that Elvis gave performances in 79 cities in 1956. How many cities do you think hosted Elvis Tribute Artists in 2011? My guess is that it could be ten times that number. Continue reading

Reagan, Obama, and Elvis
Lately, there has been much in the press about Barack Obama’s shift to the center. He is said to be thinking and sounding a lot like Ronald Reagan. This, plus the 100th anniversary of Reagan’s birthday on February 6, has even prompted news magazines to pair the two presidents on their covers. Continue reading

The Most Significant Month In Elvis' History
Back in late 2005, I was trying to think of something to write for the upcoming Birthday Tribute Issue of Elvis International magazine. I always try to submit something for each issue, and Darwin Lamm, the publisher, likes to do anniversary themes. So, I checked out what went on with Elvis fifty years earlier in January, 1956. I quickly realized that lots of important stuff happened, and I had my story idea. Continue reading
Writing With Wertheimer
Alfred Wertheimer is sometimes called the godfather of rock & roll photography, and he well deserves the title. As a struggling twenty-six year old free-lance photojournalist in New York City, Wertheimer’s good fortune gained him access to Elvis Presley during that first, heady flush of fame in 1956.

Two Very Rare, Weird, and Valuable Elvis Records
I started collecting record albums back in the 80s when CDs took over as the dominant music format. When people bought CD players and started building CD libraries, their old LPs and 45s languished in disinterest. Ultimately, many people sold their record collections at garage sales. For years, I was a regular Saturday morning scavenger, hitting as many garage sales as possible, looking for records. Continue reading
Critiquing the 12 Days of Christmas in July
If you have ever bought anything from www.ShopElvis.com, you probably get their frequent e-mail announcements of items they are promoting. If you are like me, you have received lots of these.
