Kathy explains her & Elvis’ love life | How long it took Elvis to warm up

September 2, 1976, Curtis Hixon Convention Hall, 2nd row, center. I was there!

[@roselamoure]

What always shocked me is that why none of the fans said something? He looked extremely unhealthy and sick and none of the fans showed worry or compassion or concern. People always wanted something from Elvis but none of the fans cared enough to ask or show concern. I wasn‘t around back than but if I was I would be mortified and not accept him to keep performing on stage but to take a break. Even Elvis‘s fans just used him and didn’t do anything for him, absolutely insane.

[@Elizabeth-dw6lc]

@ronw9901...what's your problem? Seems you are still spewing lies told by Priscilla. You don't have to bash Kathy on every comment. She was a lovely lady that Elvis admired. He loved her singing and they did have an affair for 6 months. Elvis told her that he and Priscilla had an open marriage (which they did). Priscilla has admitted by 1968 she was having affairs and by 1970 she was living in LA alone. Kathy later broke it off due to guilt. She has only ever said wonderful things about Elvis. You clearly don't know what you are talking about and I would recommend you do a little research.

[@philiphatfield5666]

Total control? I loved Elvis's music, but he certainly was not in control of his own life; in fact, he was totally out of control the last few years of his life----the eating binges, the drug binges, the reckless spending binges, the inattention to his recording career, the ŕampant promiscuity, etc. Elvis was a tremendous entertainer, but he has been romanticised to such a ridiculous degree that his fanatics have all but elevated him to sainthood. Elvis was a very emotionally immature individual, and the totally ridiculous behavior that he exhibited in just his final two years led to his early demise. Just like Judy Garland, Elvis was a truly tragic public icon.

[@rhonda-FreeSpirit-65]

​@@philiphatfield5666 I think you misunderstood me. He definitely didn't have any control of his personal life ❤

[@philiphatfield5666]

I understand. When I think of Elvis I get angry. I was born in 1958, so going to see Elvis movies was a big deal growing up. It was a rare weekend that didn't find an Elvis movie playing at a drive-in. I discovered the movies, then I discovered the great music, but it took the 68 TV special to accomplish that to a boy my age. Elvis then started touring again and I saw him at a truly electrifying concert in 1972, but I was crestfallen when I saw him at the 1976 show----in less than four years he had totally let himself go physically.

As I mentioned recently, I just read Memphis Mafia Princess: Living in the Elvis World by Shirley Dieu. She mentions Kathy, too. She basically says that Kathy was one of many women at the time, and I think even Linda at the time. From her perspective she said Kathy knew about everyone else but she didn't appear to care, she would just wait her turn. This was actually a pretty good book in that she praises Elvis over and over again...re his generosity and how much fun he was most of the time. She wanted to counter all the negative that has been written about him.

Have you seen the interview with Sheila Ryan? She talks about how Linda knew about her and Elvis but Linda put up with it. Sheila doesn't paint Elvis in a good light as either a lover or a person claiming he was selfish in bed and only cared about his needs. It's really shocking that a woman would be that open about Elvis in that way but I always believed Sheila because she didn't take any of it seriously. She was there for a good time and ended up leaving Elvis for James Caan. I'd love to have those choices!

Weird that she (Kathy) did not know Elvis' mother's name.....considering the world knew. I think she did that to intentionally hurt EP's feelings for some reason.

[@resa.walters]

That is kind of weird. About Kathy Westmoreland's book, and him kicking her out. Maybe she knew and was joking around, mentioned it out loud, and he got upset, considering it somehow disrespectful. If she had developed a crush on him, and who wouldn't have, working closely with him and experiencing his charasmatic personality. You would think she would've learned a few major things about him over the years, but maybe it was just such a platonic relationship and then it wasn't. I read the book around the time it came out (if that was around 1987?) though, and it's been so long, I cannot remember much, just that they did share spiritual beliefs, and interests in music. And she did sleep beside him, I think he requested that one evening, and then... Maybe not fast as that or anything. I should've kept all my books, darn it! Then I could look at them again, and tell you what they said.

Ginger, her mom snd sisters went to the funeral. You can find photos of them. At some point soon after Elvis died, Vernon let her know he didn't want her there. I bought some of Elvis' rings from a collector that knew Joe well and was told that Ginger took the jewelry box off the dresser with some of Elvis' nicest pieces. Over the years her husband sold them off to collectors on the DL. Who knows for sure? The maid, Nancy Rooks was on duty and heard a loud argument upstairs several hours before Elvis died. He told Billy Smith to arrange to have Alicia Kerwin on the first leg of that last tour. Lastly, I have read Ginger was in casual clothes and /or she was dressed and made up. Depends on who you believe.

He had the upstairs of Graceland roped off I would not allow anyone upstairs. I put up a video talking about the death of Elvis. There’s a clip of, I believe it was Billy Stanley, saying that it was a common occurrence for the members that were working around the household see Elvis asleep because of pills and just leave them there. He said that Ginger saw Elvis laying there and figured he was just sleeping and went and took a shower and got ready.

I'm not sure they got to Elvis' soul, but they all got companion gifts. He got the message that he could make everything good if he gave them gifts. I don't think he ever really got what he wanted from any woman he was with in later years. (aside from his mother who "things weren't important to") They all seemed to be like a temporary fix with Elvis. No one has ever known what was really going on in his head when it came to women and relationships. They were companions, he gave all of them a lot of material things, but his thought process would have been the interesting part, why? Did he think they expected it? Probably. It was him rewarding them for spending time with him. It would have been more interesting to get to the core of his thinking process, and what touched him deeply as a human being. Yes, Gospel music. It was all mostly connected to his roots. One constant was his love of books, and what he got from them, they fed his soul, the core of who he was. The rest was superficial after he lost his mother who wanted nothing from him, but she knew how to feed his soul. When Lisa was born, he said, she was the love of his life. He did the superficial on the outside and was just the opposite on the inside which is still so interesting.

I read Kathy's book. Most truth. Poor Elvis.😥

[@robbansa]

I've never heard anybody else confirming her relationship with Elvis, seems very unprofessional to sleep with your employee. Kathy wasn't a sexy chick, he could have anybody. Was she trying to make money of that book with that "story"?

[@synchronicity1470]

pfft! aren't they all? every last person who ever worked w/ Elvis has written books from the cook to the pilot to the jeweler, clothing designer, body guard, doctor etc. Those awful Stanleys have made a cottage family industry off Elvis who they clearly despised. I wonder why the Stanley boy who kept giving his sleep packets the night he died was ever interrogated. They admitted to messing with dosages and stuff. Honestly, these people revealing every detail of Elvis' personal life, disgust me. I am fed up with it and KNOW their betrayal - the West boys & Hebler - contributed to Elvis' turmoil & eventual demise!! After all he did for all of them and their families!! To betray him this way sickens me. Elvis was a good man at heart.

Agree that she isn't sexy in the slightest, which is why I said she didn't look like his type....at all. Not the body, not the face. Elvis was pickier than that.

Of course she knew that Gladys was his Mother' name. She was upset because Elvis didn't stay with her. He showered her with gifts.

I have around 20 books on Elvis. Can't remember which book, but it did say she was a virgin and her and Elvis had a very brief fling. In all those books there was only this brief story of any love affair between them.

Crazy

[@clifffor1179]

Why didn't Felton record the warm ups ? I like Felton Jarvis but he didn't seem to do much as a producer other than press the record button and supervise overdubbs. Elvis was basically his own producer arranger. Very rare for a producer not to introduce songs to artists who didn't write thier own material as well. The Beatles had George Martin Michael Jackson had Quincy Jones to make what they did better. Elvis basically had Elvis

About when did their “relationship“ start and then end? Does she use dates/years?

[@lilliangilbert4252]

I own this book, I ordered it in '87, and I got it off a magazine, so I ordered it. I got it very quick for like $24.00. I read it twice, cuz I just couldn't believe she slept with him.🤔🥴😊 Any way, now there's this other guy here on KZbin reading it. He says he paid $800.00 , WOW, it's selling up to $3,000.00 which is crazy. When I go to my storage, I'll look for it and maybe sell it😊.

[@diva12345ism]

Thank you …wasn’t in that era !) but I love Elvis music..omg he was just so everything….such a sweet man … is so amazing the way he treats his fans an I love Elvis to his faith in God…I think why he was the brightest, he was raised in a religious family with good morals.. wonderful family I’ve been watching Elvis‘s mother side of Smith family billy and Joe Smith channel channel I never knew about it orbeen watching it….I really love your KZbin channel) too but she put such great videos out I just love your videos so much knowledge that you have … you’re so young ..I could tell you love Elvis… oh wow I love to watch him dance. Thank you again.

Another one talking about intimate details they shared with Elvis this poor man must be turning in his grave thinking that what was personal and private its surprising what people will do for money i sometimes wonder if he will ever be allowed to rest in peace especially as he now has his beautiful daughter Lisa Maria with him he has left us his legacy of wonderful music surely thats enough we don’t need to know all the details of everything he ever did

It’s said that Kathy has said to Elvis that he just was searching for a mother figure and that she wasn’t going to be one for him. I think it was no accident at all that she mentioned the name of his mother, Gladys..

The book should be reissued with an audio book version ?🎉❤

That would be nice. Plenty of people want to read it.

The “jobs” joke with the smirk made me laugh. That was funny.

[@karencarlos3942]

I dont think Elvis had much of a particular "type". There were many women around him that werent very good looking, to be honest. But he either clicked with you or he didn't. Seems to me that Kathy was between Priscilla and Linda and she had a similar body type to Priscilla...very petite but thick on bottom. My understanding was that Kathy wasn't really into Elvis' music that much. I could understand that considering she was so young and probably into the newest popular thing at the time. But I don't quite believe she didn't know his mother's name. Not knowing just how deep that wound was, she may have thought that having a little fit and saying it would get his attention. She got it alright, but it backfired. 🕺👑❤️‍🔥

[@KathyKat-b1w]

I love you show, I find it very informative, entertaining and educational. More importantly you research your data and it is fact checked Thank You for this!!! Watch another show about the Elvis’s girlfriends in the 70’s and you are so right Linda Thompson was the best for him!!! I done a lot of research myself and unfortunately we hear so much about Prescilla and her, version of herself that she wants the public to believe, so much of this image his misinformation!!! Not the true side of her!!!’ Yes she is Lisa’s mom, but I feel the public saw a different side of her after Lisa passed away! Let’s not forget Linda !!! She was the best for him and I wished the raltionship would have lasted bc Elvis would have been with us for a longer period of time if not still alive today!!! The public should recognize Linda has a major influence in Elvis’s Live!! We should hear more from the relatives and close friends that were a part of his circle! Unfortunately there are not many still alive. But there is information that is available that the people who were close to him, wrote about in articles and books!!

[@Somee989]

Priscilla asked David Stanley out for drinks after the funeral David said they were making out in his car. She was happy about selling the film rights to Elvis funeral. Its on YT Current Affair-David Stanley.

If I could go back in time and had the privileged of knowing Elvis, I would tell him to RUN from Priscilla. He loved her so much he didn't even bother to know she was having an affair with Stone for close to a year. Elvis paid for the lovers apt. Where was Lisa?

Unless someone else was in the the room, no one knows if they did or not. Many things are said and written about Elvis that simply aren't true.

To me Elvis was a man who didnt really had to have sex,but liked to be in bed with someone he liked very much and talk about life and discuss different things and of course kisses and have bodycontact.
