From what I read he got into showbusiness working on fairgrounds, then got into promoting Rock n Roll gigs then came across Elvis. Bet you didn't know that cashy!?

Elvis's second ever record, "Good Rockin' Tonight" was originally a no 2 R&B hit for Wynonie Harris.

Re: Things you didn't know about Elvis
Well there are lots of things I don't know about Elvis. Being not that interested in Elvis would do that.... Hey but that's just me

Code:
In Switzerland it is illegal to cut a front lawn while dressed as Elvis Presley.


Learn something new everyday.
