Elvis Presley Trivia
|
- Died with only about $5 million in his bank account.
- Was an Army veteran. He was drafted in 1958, stationed in West Germany and discharged in 1960.
- In Sam Lovullo's book "Life in the Kornfield" (which recalled his years as producer of the country music TV series "Hee Haw" (1969)), he remarked that Elvis was a big fan of "Hee Haw" (1969) and had always wanted to perform on the show. However, according to Sam Lovullo, Elvis remarked they'd have to tape his spots in the middle of the night, knowing that if manager Colonel Tom Parker found out, he'd never clear his appearance. Several months after Elvis' death, his father, Vernon Presley, appeared on "Hee Haw" (1969) and spoke about how the world would always love him and remember his music.
- Honorary Member of Tau Kappa Epsilon Fraternity.
- Inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame (sponsored by the Gospel Music Association) in 2001.
