My interests include music, singing and performing, acting, horseback riding, riding motorcycles, karate, target shooting, racket ball, collecting firearms and badges, playing football, general rough-housing, having all kinds of fun, and spending time with my friends and family at my beautiful home Graceland!
My beautiful family...Even though I don't get to see them much they are "Always On My Mind"!
My Savior Jesus Christ, New Friends including extended family and fans, And of course the wonderful ETAs(Elvis Tribute Artists)!

I was interested in gospel music since I was a young boy who would stand up in church and sing the hymns, Country, and Rock N' Roll, I'm not too crazy about the hippie music and the acid rock though!
My favorite movies include some of my better pictures such as Love Me Tender, Loving You, King Creole, Jail House Rock, Blue Hawaii, Viva Las Vegas, and Speed Way! I also liked Heart Break Hotel, Honeymoon In Vegas, 3,000 Miles To Graceland, Finding Graceland, and Wild At Heart!
The book Me and a Guy Named Elvis is one of my favorite books besides the bible and books on philosophy and spiritual guidance. It was written by one of my dearest friends Jerry Schilling. It is a factual account of our friendship that started one Sunday at Guthrie Park in Memphis one lazy summer Sunday in 1954 during a game of pickup football. I was 17 when I first met Jerry shortly after recording "That's All Right" at Sun Studios. At that time Jerry was only a young lad of 12 years. The friendship with Jerry stood the test of time though the good and the bad patches as well! Jerry was a member of the Memphis Mafia and he did many jobs for me over the years including body guard, photo double, and trainer. He even drove Priscilla and I to the hospital on the day our daughter Lisa Marie was born!
My heroes are The Father, The Son, and The Holly Ghost, My family, and the good friends who stuck with me through the good as well as the bad!
