I agree 💯 percent! I've been a fan for 65 years and will be until I'm in the ground. I play his music everyday and am hoping to get to Graceland at the end of the year or spring of next year. That's the last thing on my bucket list. I love that you're a tribute artist!❤ Good luck in your continuing career!

Awww we just lost the podcast with Sheri at 45.10 and I was enjoying it so much, it’s great to hear about Elvis the person like that, makes you feel just that little bit closer to the man he was, the King will NEVER be forgotten, he will be loved forever, I’m now 70 and I fell in love with him when I was 4 years old x Carol from Scotland xx

Thanks, Steve. This one will be a favourite for years to come. Both you and Sheri show such commitment to the 'truth and integrity' that simply shine a new light on the often repeated prejudices and misconceptions.

Wonderful. Would love to hear Sheri elaborate on your show more on what she remembers about the Beatles visit, just more memories. Unfortunately, there aren't many left who were actually with him. She and her siblings and other mafia kids should write their memoir like her mom and dad did. Like she said, no other star had his setup of family and friends around him. If they have any home videos they want to share, a dvd would be awesome. Thank you Sheri. The story about climbing in his lap was sweet. Those are the kind of stories we like to hear. Unique experiences no one else had.

Elvis would have been quick to say that he was not the King (much less God); that Jesus Christ is the only King! He's recorded telling the audience that in at least two concerts. But I get the gist of your post and I agree with the rest of it.

I once spoke with Marty over the computer and even then I was skeptical that it was actually him, but it must have been, he did share a couple of stories with me about the American sound sessions in 69 and how Elvis was just not getting good material after those sessions. I wish I had had a chance to ask him a few more questions, but unfortunately he passed.

[@donnahill8403]

Thank you Steve, for sharing this awesome interview and thanks to mrs. Sheri. for taking her time to talk with you about her father Marty and the relationship he had with Elvis. I am 1 year older than mrs. Sheri, so I was 18 when the radio made that awful announcement that Elvis had suddenly passed. I remember clearly how I felt. I was in disbelief at first until they repeated it, and so I was devastated and cried for days and at a time for long while. I had just gotten married on the 5 th of August and in my kitchen starting up the meal for that evening. Anyway, I thank you for the podcast, first one I ever remember hearing. It was really cool. Sheri ' s father sounds like he was a wonderful person and an awesome and loyal friend to Elvis. It would be wonderful if I could hear Elvis's voice in an interview that clearly . May Elvis and Marty continue to Rest in peace. 😇 💖

Awesome interview Steve. Thanks brother! I love Sheri's personality and Marty and Billy are my favorite Memphis Mafia Members because they've never sugar coated anything.

[@Elvisultimatefanchannel]

Very true

[@katgirlblue]

I agree totally, I love Sheri and also Marty and Billy more than the other guys, because they seemed so honest, and in Marty's case - maybe brutally honest. Sheri seemed the same and when she said there were some things in Priscilla's book that just weren't true, I wanted to know what, but that was not followed up. She did seem willing to talk about it. Kind of disappointed, because I would believe her. Still a great interview though.

[@_CoolHandLuke_]

@@katgirlblue Im sure one of the things about the book she was saying wasn't true is: The book said Elvis raped her. Which later in life Priscilla said that the book was over dramatic because that never happened... Katgirlblue, your name reminds me of the song by Bob Seger "Kathmandu". Lol. I dont know why but it does.

[@katgirlblue]

@@_CoolHandLuke_ Well Sheri would have no way of knowing if that was true or not. I'm sure she was referring to things that she (Sheri) knew for an absolute fact. Tom Collins your name reminds me of gin and lots of ice. Lol. I don't know why but it does.

Great interview! I was able to ask Marty a question through Ask Marty on EIN and was charmed by his answer, which was very similar to the story shared in the video about Marty seeing Elvis smile when he saw him: Q: If it is not too personal, would you also tell us the greatest thing you ever did for Elvis and the greatest thing you feel Elvis did for you? A: One of the number of things that I'm proud of that I did for Elvis, no, make that two things ... One, Talking him into doing the recording sessions at American Studios in Memphis in '69 and the other was in '71 when I got the Memphis City Council to name Elvis Presley Blvd. for him. I did those things as a friend because I was not on his payroll the last ten years but he acted as if I still worked for him because he asked me to do a number of things for him thru the 70's. The best thing he ever gave to me was his close friendship and his smile. Marty

[@bigbang323]

I believe these 2 guys were truly best friends. Had to be a reason he was EPs bf in the wedding. (Joe E. asked Parker to include him.)

[@abc-wv4in]

@@bigbang323 Marty seemed to be a much more true and loyal friend. Joe was all about Joe, and was in Parker's pocket, and later in Priscilla's. Those American Studio recordings were some of his best especially at that point in his life. Thanks, Marty!

[@sandralybrand9425]

Marty you were a good and needed honest friend to Elvis. I think the American Studio sessions were the best he'd done in years! It wouldn't have happened if you hadn't been honest with him about his music at that time in his career. I have listened to that session uncut so many times and I think it was so good because Elvis was having a good time playing music he picked to play. I know he was honored to have the boulevard named after him too! RIP Marty, you Are missed!❤❤

Elvis was handsome, talented and not afraid to tell people he was not the King that Jesus Christ is the King. Elvis was genuine. He was a rags to riches man. He was a man that all women wanted to be with and a man that men wanted to be. He had a true heart. He gave of himself to his fans by signing autographs and taking photos. How many celebrities have gone to their fans hanging out and spent time with them like Elvis? He was a unique individual.

Sherri your father was such a true and loyal friend to Elvis. There are so many career moves that helped Elvis so much he wouldn’t have made had it not done if Marty had not told Elvis. Marty should have been Elvis management. Marty didnt hold Elvis back. He told Elvis truth no one else would say. After Elvis got started it’s too bad he didn’t see Marty could carry it on from there. Marty had such good business sense. I’m so glad Elvis had Marty there to encourage him at the right times. Marty could have taken over the Management and done well with it.

I’d heard Lamar make thin remarks on EP after he’d passed, heard how some others did pick him apart like charred chicken wings. . .and when Cilla tried to push her weight around on the guys for every little thing thinking she was all that and a bag of chips, it was Marty who stood up to her and called her out . .he stayed the same, he wasn’t full of himself nor try to profit off of EP’s private/personal information like others have . ..

[@billbarrett6285]

I consider the book What Happened by Red & Sonny West, and Dave Hebler to be a betrayal . It is something I have not been able to forgive even now. I can only imagine how Elvis felt about it and how it hurt him. Elvis did so much for the people who worked for him and had very close friendships with them. For these men to act like Elvis owed them a living and to act like they were entitled once they were dismissed is hard to believe. In my opinion, Elvis deserved far more loyalty and respect than he received. Only Elvis knows how the book truly affectrd him but that is my personal opinion. I could never imagine Elvis doing something like writing the book What Happened to one of his close friends.

[@lillyd2246]

Elvis said to Larry Geller that his fans are too smart to believe what would be written in this book.

[@margareta249]

I enjoyed the book. These guys loved Elvis. And after Elvis passed it was proven that everything they wrote was true. They tried to help Elvis. So no the book was not a betrayal. They told the truth . To let ppl know Elvis was a human being like the rest of us. He had his flaws as we all do.

[@NOVEMBER5TH2024]

I was absolutely captivated on how Miss lacker would say there was basically two types of Elvis. One on the stage, and the other one at home. It’s funny but I’ve heard the same thing before. Vernon Presley‘s brother, Vester said the exact same thing. Vester was totally blown away when he saw his nephew for the very first time performing on stage. He could not believe what he was witnessing. It was almost being able to turn it off and on like a light switch. He said who is this person? Vester Presley would go further and say, it was very strange. Elvis on stage was so captivating. Elvis was completely the opposite when he was not being the entertainer/performer at home. This was a fantastic interview, what I really like about it was the length and the detailed information only a insider would know. It really made me feel like a part of the inner circle. For me personally, Elvis Presley is a phenomenon. He’s been part of my life for 45 years, And has had such a massive impact on my life. It’s unexplainable, at the same time, including monumental. I cannot imagine life without Elvis, the man, the figure, and the voice. He was an amazing humanitarian and I truly believe we were all given this beautiful gift called, Elvis. If you were to ask anybody this question, no one would have an answer. Because it will never happen in their lifetime. Do you know of any people in your personal life who are visited at their gravesite every single day for a total of 44 years? On top of it, do you know of any single human who receives flowers at there grave sight every single day? I know of one person only and that is Elvis Aaron Presley.

Parker said Elvis didn't want to do Star is Born Sonny Parker also backed Parker on that it included Elvis getting in shape going to a fat farm etc. Parker also said Elvis didn't want to do Overseas because he didn't want to play the outdoor stadium. Actually I don't belueve that because Parker made that statement years after Elvis was dead.

Parker knew nothing about music or what a Treasure he had in Elvis and totally mishandled Elvis Career! The album that came out of Stax was one of the best! I also loved his last album the jungle room sessions!

Wow what a great interview. Steve u knocked this out of the ball field !!! She sounds like a very nice person..thanks for sharing and another thing we had just graduated high school and 18 years old. our way to portland maine on the 16th of aug TO SEE ELVIS... 30 mins away from the city and heard on radio he had died we were going to portland early and hang with friends till the 18th we were so hurt. We turned around and came back home to northern maine .. It was a 5 to 7 hour drive in that time if i remember correctly 😔

I enjoy Marty's interviews discussing Elvis, very enlightening and tells it like it was. I would love to hear more about Anita Wood. Elvis would have probably been better off to have stuck with her longer. Her middle name is Marie, btw, and she and Elvis had planned to name their child, if they ever had one, Alisa Marie. Interesting, don't you think?

You are missing Jerry..... he met Elvis when Elvis was in high school. Elvis took him under his wing and Jerry loves him forever.

[@Elvisultimatefanchannel]

Jerry will be another episode hopefully

Jerry met elvis in a Memphis park one afternoon ... n they where short of numbers to play football. That's how there friendship began .

[@sandralybrand9407]

Jerry Shilling would be a fantastic interview! I've seen a couple of them and you can tell he loved Elvis so much, he still lives in the house Elvis gave him. He and Elvis also had a special bond. He was the one he chose to go to DC when nobody knew where he was and snuck off to see Nixon. Of course he did finally call Sonny to come at the last minute.

I listened to some of Marty’s interviews, he was a straight shooter and a true friend of Elvis he talked Elvis into recording in Memphis and it was a big hit , I believe Elvis was happy that he took Marty’s advice, and he didn’t write a bad book betraying his friend Elvis never be another Elvis not even close.

Очень согласна с тем, что главное это честные и добрые воспоминания об Элвисе . Он этого заслуживает ! А столько вранья уже наговорили и понаписали !Какой удивительный был человек !

[@bennietoups1719]
