Things you didn't know about Elvis

Re: Things you didn't know about Elvis
Hi Spiritinthesky!
Thanks for your link & info about Elvis Presley/'The King'!
I was 11yrs old when the sad news came across my t.v. I am still an avid fan of Elvis, he was a generous talented person & I loved his songs & movies growing-up in the '70's & still do!
One thing I'm not sure on is...the report says, Ginger Alden, discovered Elvis, I thought he was dating a lady called Linda? I will have to research more I think!
Thank you again, for remembering Elvis.
Kris 
Edit: P.s. I'm just watching & listening & shakin' to your video/music links right now - how delightful! Cheers!

I always loved Elvis. I remember the day he died. I was 9 years old.
