An Elvis fan since he started in 1954-1955. I remember how Elvis changed many from critics to fans because of his love of his mother, but also of his father and all his family.

[@nitasheehan2704]

I am like you, a fan in real time, and I remember how he changed so many minds by his love of his mother.

Elvis was a beautiful devoted son to his mother, a lovely thing to see. RIP Mother and Son ♥️♥️🎼🎸🎤

Gladys was such a wonderful person. When the Presleys moved down the street from me and my family on Audubon Drive in Memphis, I had already met Elvis and after my first visit with Gladys shortly after they moved in, that amazing woman actually sent me a thank you note telling me how much she enjoyed visiting with me. Talk about Southern hospitality! She was extremely nice and so proper at all times. I absolutely loved her and Vernon. (No doubt about Elvis!)

Thank you and thank Angie, for sharing this private side of his fame and why he became the man he ultimately became and what or who rather, shaped him into becoming as exceptional as he became and always shall be! ❤

AND I did not like his comments about Elvis and his music but yet he had him on his TV program when Elvis came home from the Service - obviously for ratings. That didn’t set too well with me and I guess I’m a Yankee - I’m from the North 😮😮😮😮😮😮

Thanks much Mr. Tom. I got and read fully the book "ELVIS AND GLADYS" by Elaine Dundy and I am at awe with THE KING's dear mom. She's indeed a true shining model of a caring mother. Why, she never really cared for material riches. All she cared about till her untimely passing was the safety of ELVIS!!!

[@milicadjukich4416]

THANK YOU, LOVE THE VIDEOS, SHE WAS A PRECIOUS MOTHER TO ELVIS, EVEN THOUGH THEY GOT RICH, SHE WAS STILL DOWN TO EARTH! I am sure when she passed it wasn't the same for him! She is the one who worked to get him the first guitar! And what a Son he was to buy them a house and her a pink cadillac even though she didn't drive! GOD's BIGGEST COMMANDMENT IS honor thy mother and father! He had the wrong friends and doctor that messed his body but he is in heaven now with his mom! Mine is too, with Elvis we saw her in a dream with him, a beautiful dream!
