Trivia for you bob-32:
1: He won three Grammys during his lifetime, all for his Gospel recordings.
2: Was the first so called actor to earn $1,000,000 for a movie role (1956).
3: Never, in 33 movies had a box office failure.
4: The first artist to sell one billion album sales ( according to a plaque from the RIAA as seen by myself on the walls in the 'trophy room' at Graceland).
5: The Presley machine is the biggest employer both directly and indirectly in the State of Tennessee.
6: Was offered ' I will always love you' by a young Dolly Parton but Tom Parker insisted she hand over half the writing royalties to him (Parker) if she wanted him to record it, she declined saying she did the work and she deserved all credit for it...
Parker refused to present the track to Presley, thus he never recorded it,
Shows just what a crooked, corrupt manager he was.
He manipulated and controlled the dumb hillbilly Presley till the day he died, to Parker it was all about 'the money' and not 'the artist.
