Hi, I always really appreciate your work and follow you regularly. Regarding Parker, after the biography written by A.Nash which I liked so-so, I highly recommend Parker biography written by James L. Dickerson which is very interesting and explains even better than Nash how much of a bastard Parker has always been in life with everyone and then arrive and go too far with his nastiness towards Elvis, in this biography it is explained how it was just him who pushed the Army offices in charge to enlist Elvis and how he was involved with mafia groups... More recently I also read "The King and the Jester" by Paul Belard, another interesting testimony of how much harmful Parker has been to Elvis both in his private life and for his career. Both of these two books have confirmed and increased the hate (which I have already stated on other occasions) that I have always felt for this man for whom I wish the worst. I apologize for being so rude but this man brings out the worst in me.

P.S. - if you like there is another book (not about Parker), quite interesting about people who "betrayed" Elvis, it has the paper edition or digital one, the title is : " Thirty Pieces of silver, The Betrayal of Elvis Presley by Rochelle Vaughn" - Justice Pain Publishing. The Author answers point by point to the books ; "Elvis what happened?" -"Elvis and me" - "Stil Taking care of business",.

This was an interview from the Irish TV show The Late Late Show in the early 80's. The host was a guy called Gay Byrne. The Irish equivalent of Jonny Carson. Johnny Cash had come to perform in Ireland numerous times. When asked who was the best performer he had ever seen he answered Elvis. He said no one had the charisma that Elvis possessed.👍

Hey David I always believed that Parker had something to do with Elvis being drafted into the army . Here's something else to add to it that j egar hover did not like Elvis . and it's possible to that he had something to do with it . because at that time Elvis was causing such a stir with the public and the older generation was scared of Elvis and the way he was effecting the younger generation of kids and teenagers . so it's possible that Parker and j egar hover was in on this

[@rosecarr7956]

I've long had this dream that a recording made by Elvis or a handwritten Journal of his would be found and we would get some insight into what he thought or felt about his life experiences. Now after almost 50 years since his passing and nothing of that nature has been found it's unlikely that it ever will. The personal thoughts of Elvis will remain a mystery but he will also remain the biggest and most beloved entertainer the world has ever seen.

During the mid 60's, Parker's brother came to the US from Holland to visit. Elvis met Parker's brother, so Elvis must have known that Parker was not born in the USA. I think Elvis knew about Parker's past, and chose to not rock the boat. Every family has secrets they like to hide.

[@ElvisistheMan_]

Oh yes, his brother! I agree that elvis didn’t want to rock the boat

[@carolhayar3037]

According to all the info it had to do w-the fact that Parker escaped at age 19 from Amsterdam due to a murder that he was supposedly involved in & if he went overseas, he would not be able to get back into the U.S., & he spent his entire life in the U.S. without becoming a citizen. My ex-husband who was not a citizen, was drafted @ beginning of the Vietnam war, which surprised us. He had recently come here from Egypt when he got his draft notice & we were told told that non-U.S. citizens can be drafted into the U.S. military but cannot be called back to their country of birth to fight. I do believe it was the Parker issue that stopped Elvis from touring overseas. When you listen to his MSG press conference saying how he would like to tour overseas & mentioned wanting to go to Japan, you can tell how much it would have meant to him. Also, according to what I've read, when Elvis turned 18 on January 8, 1953, he fulfilled his patriotic duty and legal obligation to register his name with the Selective Service System. He filed for his draft card on Jan. 19, 1953, 11 days after his 18th birthday, thereby meaning he could be subject to military conscription and drafted at anytime to serve active duty in the armed forces. That day came on Dec. 20, 1957 while spending the Christmas holidays at Graceland, When Elvis received his draft notice he wrote a letter to the draft board asking if he could defer his two-year service until he wrapped up filming the movie, King Creole. The Memphis Draft Board granted him a deferment until the following March. He was sworn in as an Army private on March 24, 1958. On the internet you can see images of is Registration Certificate, Notice of Induction, his Draft card, etc.

I agree that Parker is a fascinating character. He seems to be a bundle of contradictions and controversy. Depending on the specific time in his relationship with Elvis, he did some good and some bad...some very, very bad. But I have heard interviews given by members of the Memphis Mafia where they say that Elvis gave Parker a lot of credit for his successful career and that Elvis could be difficult to handle when he wanted to be stubborn or rebel. I wish Elvis had rebelled even more. But you know a person's life plays out the way it does due to two important factors: God's will and plan for your life, and how you obey or not. We remember you, Elvis, and we love you...still.

So hard to actually know the truth. I've been a fan for 5 years now and have read about 30 books so far and have started the book you just recommended. I have the book "ELVIS '68 Comeback" by Steve Binder and he said something that surprised me that the contract that the Colonel showed him was a terrible contract. Steve Binder said Elvis could have made millions more on that special. This tells me the Colonel was getting old and not up to the new ways of making money. Elvis wasn't money savvy and I think he was very loyal to the Colonel like he was to all his family. Just a thought. Enjoyed your video and always learn a lot. Thank you for all your hard work.

[@rebelvgan4579]

I'd say most of us wish Elvis had ditched Parker (Andreas) much sooner, he really was a shady character and Elvis deserved better. ☹ Great to hear Johnny Cash acknowledging Elvis too. 👑

[@ElvisPresleyWorldwide]

Another provocative excellent video. Elvis was a smart man. He wasn't a dupe. So, does anyone believe that Elvis, a man who could knock on the door of the White House to speak with the President of the United States so he could get a Federal Agent's badge, couldn't also pull a few strings to get Parker naturalized? Between the two of them - Parker allegedly on the lam for a dishonorable military record and possible complicity to murder, and Elvis's carefully guarded public image being besmirched - the paranoia must've been palpable. There are other factors in Elvis's career that seem weird but are actually easily explainable. For instance, Elvis never went on a talk show. He never gave an encore. He never had second billing. He never left the country, except for a few cities tour in Canada in '57, and Parker didn't accompany him. So, in that sense, it's at least feasible that Elvis could've toured England for a week without Parker. I remind anyone who reads this that Parker was going to "allow" Elvis to tour Europe after his Army discharge, but the demand was so great in the US that they never had time to get around to it. Finally, a good, highly paid lawyer could've gotten Parker's nefarious actions expunged and no one would've thought twice what he did in the Netherlands back in the 1930's. And that's what he probably should've done. TCB

[@Patracat]

Yes, another sensible comment. Thank you

[@mrsongman]

I think the colonel should take a large portion of the blame but having said that Elvis was a grown man with money, status and reach. He could have hired a lawyer at the very least when Tom Parker gave him that "invoice" after he fired him. Instead somehow he just went back to Vernon as his accountant and Tom Parker as his manager. I think their relationship ran very deep and there was possibly some form of dad-son dynamic between them. I don't mean a good dad...It is always more difficult to confront and hold family to account than it is employees, bosses or friends.

Yes, Parker's status was the main reason Elvis never toured abroad. He actually had changed the insurance on his planes, so they could fly internationally.

David, you need to do a video on who Parker allegedly killed and how she was Murdered. If it was blunt force or poisoning. Elvis's mom didn't like Parker, and her health went down pretty fast after he was drafted. Plus, Elvis's health went down after he made it clear that he wanted to get rid of Parker.

[@ElvisistheMan_]

It would be hard to make a video on that because I don’t think there are any solid facts. Just speculation. There are a few books I want to read and then I think that could make a good video.

[@karengiurbino9328]

@ElvisistheMan_ Hopefully, you'll be able to. From what I gather, Parker only seen Elvis as a big wealthy paycheck. If Elvis was alive or dead as long as Parker was still his manager. From what I've read, Elvis tried to fire Parker several times, only to have his mind changed by his dad. I truly think Elvis was at the point he was going to fire Parker, and greedy people will do anything to keep that money flow coming in. I enjoy the videos you put out. Thank you.

The only problem with that theory is that Elvis and his mother dealt with hereditary physical ailments that others in her branch of the family also had, before Parker was even part of Elvis's life. And even Lisa appeared to have inherited similar medical issues right up to her own passing, and Parker's been dead since 1997.

One constant thing in a lot of the books, movies, and interviews with friends was that Elvis was optimistic as far as saying he'd clean up, tour abroad, make more movies, etc. I think there were several efforts by more than one person to bring it up, but Elvis had his excuses. It got worse, so I think that, and the Colonel thing was why he never really made the effort. He tried to do the karate project, but if I'm not mistaken, Parker had Elvis stop that. He had plenty of overseas offers, so that wasn't the issue.

Cash and all the people think Elvis didn't go on this worldtour because of Parker are wrong. As a matter of fact the plans were made. And the plans were ready to go on that worldtour. What people have to understand is that the tours of Elvis were planned way up in front. For example in 1973 tours were al ready planned and arranged for tours in 1974 /1975. So it was very difficult to schedule a worldtour. And the bottemline is that Elvis didn't want to do a worldtour anymore himself when the seventies went on because of his health and addiction. His thought was why make all this trouble while he could make easy money in the USA. And of course he was affraid he could not take all his pills and drugs overseas. I got this information from trustfull sources. By the way it was very easy for Parker to get a new american passport.

So why do they think Elvis stayed with Parker all those years? They had a good working relationship, even if they didn't see eye to eye over some things. All this crap about Parker being an illegal alien. He and Elvis had contact with presidents, senators, etc and all they had to do was ask someone to sort out the necessary paperwork to make Parker a citizen of the USA.

And when Elvis was not happy with Parker he could have fired him any day but he didn't. All those stupid stories about Parker forced him into this tight tour schedule is just bullshit. Elvis wanted to do all those tours himself because he needed the money big time. Parker was not stupid and saw that Elvis' addiction went worse and worse and talked about that to Elvis in 1976. He advised Elvis to slow down. But of course Elvis told him that he had everything under control, which of course he hadn't. Many people around Elvis warned Elvis but he just would not listen. Addicts don't listen. Many fans just keep defending Elvis and don't realise how bad his addiction was and keep blaming Parker, which is stupid and sad.

[@robertzastrow4648]

Don't see how Parker thought it was necessary for himself to go with Elvis on a concert tour of Europe. He could have set things up in this country, then kept in touch with Elvis by phone as the tour were going. He managed to not see Elvis for at least a year and a half, when Elvis was in the army. Think Johnny Cash was one in many of Elvis's entertainment friends who were probably sad as they saw Elvis physically deteriorate. Agree that Parker did his best work for Elvis in the 1950s, that Elvis could have gotten better management after he was out of the army. Think Vernon was a big factor in always defending Parker. At the end of the 1977 Elvis In Concert television special, Vernon filmed a short segment, thanking Elvis's fans for their support of Elvis over the years, and the amount of sympathy fans were expressing to the Presley family following Elvis's death. In this segment, Vernon also thanked Parker, calling him something like a "good, honest" man. My guess is Elvis probably at least had suspicions about Parker, but Parker had Vernon completely bamboozled.

[@BloxyTiger.]

Hey, about the murder part, that was false. The book written about Parker shortly after Elvis' death, frames Parker without much evidence. Parker' cousin was most likely the murderer, as he matches eye-witness descriptions the best. Parker' life is very interesting, he went to America 2 times before staying there. The first time he was caught. He was very close with his mother. But when he started working with Elvis, he had to cut contact as their mail was getting in the Elvis fan mail.

Parker certainly has a shady past and it's not quite clear how he is able to reside in the U.S. knowing his status as a citizen and why he was there in the first place and at what point did this become known in Elvis' career, if at all. Why was he not arrested and given his shady past, strange to take up a role where he is projected to the limelight. Maybe false papers, that answers how he was inducted into the army. A cagey, money grabbing, criminal, it seems, not nice but true. But why did he murder? Interesting to know the definitive answers.

Parker could have had no influence in getting E drafted. I think Parker lied to E about his past, and Elvis "believed" him. Parker brokered the deal with RCA, and negotiated ALL deals for his "Boy".

I think the one who really destroyed Elvis was Priscilla. Why doesn’t she just move on? That’s what she wanted was a divorce and to move on?????? Tells you much about money-grabbing Priscilla. Fame and fortune is the importance thing on her mind. Even now.

Am shocked that you have an Elvis channel and don’t know the basics of Elvis history. Why not read Last Tewin to Memphis and Careless Love. These are the most highly acclaimed and serious bios in Elvis.
