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.

[@DataWatch.]

Thanks. He’s always claimed he was 6 foot. I took the reading from celeb heights and the height is basically an estimation based on peoples opinion. And btw I’m only a minute fraction off here. Thanks again

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.

Many heights are based on what the artists themselves claim. At the start of his career, McCartney was measured at 5-9. He claimed 5-11, but that was with the two inch Beatle boots. Today, with age, he is probably closer to 5-8.

[@DataWatch.]

I think he’s about 5’8 today. All of the Beatles except ringo claimed to be 5’11. I think my peak figures are fairly accurate. McCartney had the edge on the other two who I listed 5’10. You could maybe go down half an inch but I don’t think anymore. I’ve listed many of these guys less than they said they were or claimed to be
