John Wilkinson As Judge For Ultimate Elvis Contest In Memphis

We got this email from friend Teresa Campbell this morning and wanted to share it with you.

Hello!, ELVIS FRIENDS!!!
I hope that you are all well...
Have talked to two very good friends of John Wilkinson (an original member of the TCB Band, I'm sure we all know) in this past week, and I wanted to pass on to you what was said.
We started talking about John and his relationship with 'ELVIS', personally and professionally, and reminded each other that John was the only member to have played in all the concerts from '69 thru '77 without missing one single concert...remarkable!!!...the ONLY ONE to have accomplished such a feat...(along with 'ELVIS' of course...!!!)
That's some record! 
And my two friends and I got to talking about 'why not have John Wilkinson' on the panel in judging the ETA contestants?!...who else, having never missed a concert in all those years, would be a better judge on the panel than John???!!!
I'm just passing on a wonderful suggestion, imho, to you...if you think that this would be a good idea, I ask you to contact EPE @ marketing@elvis.com and recommend John...
John, having had a stroke and can not play the guitar any longer, is now in good health and expressed that he would be most honored and excited to take on such a wonderful opportunity in this very exciting venture in judging the new ETA for EPE!
 John has such a vast experience in seeing, knowing, and loving 'ELVIS' in all 'HIS' performances and 'HIS' personal life...
Just passing on to each one of you who love, support, and acknowledge 'ELVIS' as the 'Entertainer of the Century' and this century as well!!!... As you all know, it is most well deserved!!!!!
If you are in agreement about John Wilkinson helping out on the judging panel for the new ETA in this coming year of EW, contact EPE @ marketing@elvis.com...
And if you do, I thank you from the bottom of my 'ELVIS' heart...I think it would do John a world of good and is just a great idea!!!
Love,
T
p.s....
I know that we are not all ETA fans...I, personally, can take some of them and leave some of them...just depends on the performer...but...if the ETA contest is going to happen anyway, John would certainly  make sure that the one chosen would be worthy of the title...
Thanks again.....

Elvis Presley's Forgotten Children - The National Enquirer 2 year worldwide investigation

Image
The National Enquirer reported on January 8th that Elvis Presley "supposedly" fathered SEVEN children aside from his daughter, Lisa Marie Presley now 47. The gossip magazine claims they have conducted an exhaustive two-year worldwide investigation into Elvis’ missing family. And the astonishing findings have been verified by DNA tests, birth certificates, personal correspondence, check receipts and witness testimony! The Enquirer goes on to "supposedly" reveals the names and details of Elvis’ lost boys and girls. 1987 book  In MY PERSONAL OPINION, with over 26 years in the Elvis World, I personally DO NOT believe any of this! It's laughable.There are some names in this "bombshell" report that many long time fans will recognize from past scandals. Remember Lucy de Barbin and her daughter Desiree ? They published the book, Are You Lonesome Tonight? in 1987. Here's what the Enquirer says about this supposed "love child", ...

Did Linda Thompson cheat on Elvis Presley with his own band member?

Image
Linda Thompson acknowledges that she was fully aware Elvis Presley was seeing other women during their time together. For years, there has been talk that Linda, herself stepped out on Elvis with his own band member. In her book, A Little Thing Called Life, Linda dances around the subject quite cleverly. She acknowledges being sick and tired of watching Elvis sleep all day and the cheating. She talks about one day she finally left Elvis sleeping and went out during the day. It was then that she developed a friendship with Elvis' keyboard player, David Briggs. Linda admits to being attracted to David. But she says they did NOT start dating until AFTER Elvis and her relationship ended. Although through the years, others have said differently including David Briggs. Including Larry Geller catching the couple having a candle light dinner at 3 AM! David Briggs gave an interview to Alanna Nash and said he never thought Elvis would let a woman come between them. Charming, hu...
